Hey I'm doing VCE Legal studies Unit 3/4 this year and I'm owning the S.A.Cs, but I am always struggling for time by the end, and I was wondering how much exam markers accept the usage of abbreviations in exam answers (assuming I state the term first and then abbreviate afterwards). For example I don't want to write out 'commonwealth parliament' all throughout an answer so could I just say it first and then each other time I need to say it, just use 'Cwlth.' or 'C/W' or something? So yeah anyone know how markers respond to abbreviations like this?

I used C'th. As long as it's clear what you're going for.
It's stupid to expect people to write the fully thing out, so just go for any abbreviation. I used C'th, it's what my Legal teacher told me to use so... I used it.

It should be fine - just write the word out in full when you first use it and put the abbreviation in parenthesis. For example, "The Commonwealth Government (Cwlth) initiated the following laws..."
