Tristen Höll passed Paper 2 of the conveyancing exam with the highest mark in the Free State during the second sitting in 2025.
About Tristen
"I work for a law firm in Vryburg, and I specialise in the administration of deceased estates."
On enrolling at the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law
"I attended the recordings of the online lectures a few years ago. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to write the exam and attempted the exam in 2025. With Erinda by my side in the conveyancing exam prep classes, I was ready and self-assured to write the exam."
Tristen's conveyancing exam tips
"My advice to anyone attempting this exam will be to exercise, exercise, exercise. Practicing to draft will become second nature. Should you have an oral, use your fellow conveyancers to your advantage with quick questions and answers throughout the day."
"The pass rate does not matter; with enough practice, anyone can ace this exam. We were all through it, and we all understand all the challenges that come with the qualification."
On facing challenges
"It is a challenge to balance work life and studying, but it is doable. Stay motivated and create realistic goals for yourself."
What's next?
"My next upskilling opportunity is the notarial exam for which I have already enrolled with Gawie le Roux. I trust no other institution to walk this path with."
