AS Law Revision Notes (OCR)

think I repped you before, but when I've repped another six I'll probably try to remember to rep you again your notes are really great, and definitely helped me a lot with my module 2 AS AQA today, which I've hopefully scored highly in (combined with my module 1 mark, hopefully if I'm lucky, it will get me my A despite the fact I screwed up a bit on module 3 due to not being able to cope with the time limits! Fingers crossed) Well done on your high mark and good luck with A2

I'm glad you found them helpful - it seemed such a waste them sitting on my computer since last summer!

I'm sure you'll have done very well (last year I thought I'd done absolutely terribly in Unit 3 - literally - and I got the highest mark out of all three units on it - so just wait and see!) Time limits are awful though... I don't think I've ever finished an exam - I always need a couple of extra minutes - my friend reckons I should have faked dyslexia at the start of College to get extra time, but I couldn't!

Got A2 exams next Monday and Wednesday - am literally sh*tting myself - there is SO much to learn it is quite unbelievable. Oh well, we can only do our best at the end of the day! x x x

I hope so - but I just want to get my A! Although I have to say I wouldn't turn my nose up at a high A not that I deserve it having skipped so much of law this term. Is OCR module 3 similar to AQA module 3? Ours is the one where it's worth more marks and you have to apply legal principles to cases in criminal law and tort. I just think the time limit's ridiculous for it - 5 essays in one hour, god.

Same here, I start speeding up when I start running out of time, but I inevitably end up thinking I could've used an extra 5 mins or so, being as I'm rubbish at timing and end up writing the last q in less than 5 mins

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do fabulously also, with such a strong AS performance it's got to take some pressure off for the law What other subjects dyu take?

Very true - that's what I keep telling myself! xx

OCR module 3 for AS is called Sources of Law - there are sources with compulsory questions, you get a choice between 2 sources (delegated legislation, statutory interpretation, EU law, doctrine of precedent etc). It's worth 40% of the grade, and it is probably quite similar to your AQA module, apart from it's based on the English Legal System. 5 essays in one hour is ridiculous - there's no way you can do an essay in 12 minutes!

Thanks for the good lucking - in some ways there is less pressure than if I'd just scaped an A last year; but in another way there's more - because if I don't get a good overall grade then I'll have done really, really badly this year; and won't get into Uni! That said, I'm not complaining - I only need roughly 65% this year to get an A overall; which is a nice thing to remind myself of when I'm stressed with revision.

I do English Language and Politics too - hopefully should keep my A in English (as I got a v high mark last year); but need to get a B or above in Politics for Uni; which is a bit risky. Just got an A last year, so *hopefully* I can do roughly the same this year.

Word of advice - if you have time, try to make revision notes as you go through your A2s - it will be a godsend when you're trying to revise - you learn so much more in A2 than AS!

Anyway... revision calls!

Hope you get the results you want x x x
