AQA law AS

2 and a half pages on work of Solicitor and Barrister, you must be kidding me i couldnt think of enough to fill 2 pages. You must have really big handwriting to write 7 pages on Module 3, i only wrote about 5 and a half and could have wrote lots more aswell but an hour is nowhere near long enough for Module 3.

P.S Big handwriting is always my excuse

I have medium handwriting and write a lot of words per line. People say a page from me is like a page and a half from most people.

Barrister/solicitor was 2 essays in one! It wasn't only about work, but also the blurring... easy to write a lot. :smile:

But my hand is DEAD after 10 exams this summer.

With precedent was I right to talk about other things besides law reports, ratio and obeter?

Well i talked about the importance of reports, ratio and obiter. But when its so specific a question i never know whether to write about other things such as the Court Structure. How many marks was that question?

15 marks, and I'd done half a page with the 3 things they asked. The cases I know are on court hierarchy and distinguishing, so I decided I just had to put those in, and hope it's relevant!

I did module 3 today.

Blimey the offence was a bit drastic! first smacking the bloke over the head
and then cutting out his tongue! :eek:

AND ALL THIS WHY HE WAS ASLEEP!

Wasn't too bad I didn't think although they wanted DUTY, BREACH AND DAMAGE all together for 15 marks.
These subjects can go on forever! I could of wrote about just one of them and got 15 marks I reckon!

Yeah, I would usually say a lot about one offence and a little about a second it could possibly, but there was no way this was antyhing but section 18 GBH! I said maybe section 20, though that's not true... but they like you to say a second possibility.

I dunno about 15 marks for duty or causation, for breach it might be possible. I did write a lot on that but I ended up listing the cases instead of describing them, just to show I'd spent all those hours remembering them! :p:

Well, I did get into the supplementary sheets on all 3, so the quantity is good, certainly. On module 2 judges though, I got stuck- it asked about appointments, and after you've talked about secret soundings and open competition, how much else is there? Grrr.

Module 3 (done second, for some reason), they asked before hand to "turn over the question paper, and check it's a clean one". Idiots. I spent several minutes checking that it indeed had no other markings- in fact, I checked each word individually, and had an answer formulated whole minutes before the actual exam. Who the hell would've used them anyway?

You could have an answer formulated for unit 3 about a month before the exam :P

Hmm, touch and go really - I'd be over the moon if I managed to get a C on it but I don't think I put enough in :frown:

- as long as I get a C / D / E I'll just carry the course on and re-sit the lot in January. :frown:

- I won't leave revision till last minute again, well not for law anyway. :wink:

One good thing though is that was my last exam for now. *woo* :p:

OMG IT'S OVER :biggrin:

I am so knackered :frown:

I hate those hour time limits they're not enough

Module 2 - lovely questions, we were lucky there - I found it hard choosing as 4 of the 5 were easily do-able, but I went for lay people cos I knew some nice quotes for it, and ADR cos I was running a bit short for time and advs and disadvs can be covered in under 10 mins. Think I wrote 11 pages but at least I kept within the booklet this time lol.

Think I did well on that one but module 3 was harder because the time limit is ridiculous; I was in such a rush that for "factors to take into account when sentencing" I totally forgot to write all the stuff I learnt this morning on aims of sentencing, statutes etc :rolleyes:

- sooooooo frustrating! Just wrote about pre sentence reports, aggravating factors (e.g. premeditation and weapons use) antecedents and plea in mitigation - will that get me any marks or was it irrelevant?? anyone got any idea how many marks you'd get for that? Maybe 3 or 4 I thought.

I got section 18 GBH too. The tongue thing was absolutely gross :eek:

everyone looked so digusted at the beginning! Did a rubbish answer for the last q as only had 5 minutes due to descriptions of duty breach and damages taking FOREVER, even though I wrote a really abridged version - ditto for the strict liability and omissions q, tis just mean to combine stuff :wink:

Well if you get high marks on mods 1 and 2, I suppose you can afford to lose marks on 3.

Well done everyone sounds like everyone here did a really good paper :smile:

Anyone else practically fainting with relief that it's over?? I spent 5 days learning both mods from scratch and feel half dead now

Can someone explain the marks for me. I don't get all the scaled and boundary whatever... :confused:

All they wanted was aggravating and mitigating factors. Saying a few will get you about 5 marks, I said a dozen aggravating and half a dozen mitigating ones...

I did about 4 sentences on the levels of sentence, like discharge, fine etc, then a small para about deterence vs rehibilitation.

But it wanted the factors to take into account. You did that then you get a lot of marks, the rest may enhance it by 1 or 2 marks.

So sounds like you have 6/7.

Had my re-sit of Sources of Law today.

My my, AS level is such much easier than A2!!! It was almost like a homework excerice compared to what we get now! Confident i done well, and i answered the questions on Delegated Legislation. Now i got Contract 2 & the Special studies paper to wait for.

Highlight of my day: Watching the look on the first year's faces as all the second years left after 1 hour.. lol.. priceless

**edit oops... i do OCR.

Sounds like you got 10 - well done :biggrin:

! I was just in such a rush (was running behind on time as usual...) I couldn't think straight! 6-7 marks would be fabulous I hope you're right - I didn't think it would be that many.Hopefully I'll only need 60-80 marks on that paper which helps, and I think my tort 15 marker went well, so fingers crossed.

I can barely move my limbs :eek:

Everytime I leave revision til last minute and end up feeling like this, I swear I'll never do it again. Ha.
