["The oral examination of the first law state examination"]
The immense quantity of study literature surprisingly still presents an enormous gap regarding the part of the state examination that many exam candidates are particularly afraid of: the oral examination. This single day is too important for your studies to await it with calm. In addition, the examination situation itself seems to be completely incalculable.

The fact that the existing study literature provides extremely few publications on this subject may be due to the fact that the many different examination conversations are as diverse as the number of examiners. In fact, the only recommendable method of targeted preparation as regards the respective examiner was to study the protocols of previous examinations. Following this approach, many candidates have already been disappointed, as not all of the examiners turned out to be "true to the protocol". Moreover, despite this form of studying, the oral examination does not loose much of its unpredictable and incalculable character.

This is why the present description opts for another approach. To start with, some general remarks are made on the oral examination and the candidate's situation. In this manner, the author tries to give instructions on how to conduct yourself which can be recommended for any type of oral examination and accordingly for any examiner. So some exam conversations are outlined. These are no "authentic exam conversations", they are fictitious and in addition meant to permit the repetition of the learning material of the compulsory subjects. Accordingly, the examiner and the candidate present ideal figures, the objective of which is to show possible examination situations as authentically as possible.

["The oral examination of the first law state examination"]
The immense quantity of study literature surprisingly still presents an enormous gap regarding the part of the state examination that many exam candidates are particularly afraid of: the oral examination. This single day is too important for your studies to await it with calm. In addition, the examination situation itself seems to be completely incalculable.

The fact that the existing study literature provides extremely few publications on this subject may be due to the fact that the many different examination conversations are as diverse as the number of examiners. In fact, the only recommendable method of targeted preparation as regards the respective examiner was to study the protocols of previous examinations. Following this approach, many candidates have already been disappointed, as not all of the examiners turned out to be "true to the protocol". Moreover, despite this form of studying, the oral examination does not loose much of its unpredictable and incalculable character.

This is why the present description opts for another approach. To start with, some general remarks are made on the oral examination and the candidate's situation. In this manner, the author tries to give instructions on how to conduct yourself which can be recommended for any type of oral examination and accordingly for any examiner. So some exam conversations are outlined. These are no "authentic exam conversations", they are fictitious and in addition meant to permit the repetition of the learning material of the compulsory subjects. Accordingly, the examiner and the candidate present ideal figures, the objective of which is to show possible examination situations as authentically as possible.
