AQA law AS

I really dont know how anyone can write 11 pages on Module 2. Our law teacher must be quite poor. For the factors that a judge needs to take into account we were only ever taught 5:

1) What is the max. sentence available?
2) Does the Power of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 apply?
3) Were there any aggravating or mitigating factors?
4) What do we hope to achieve by punishing the defendant?
5) Is there any discount available? Max. 30%

Seems like the grade boundaries for an A are really low, or is it just me?

Sounds like you got 10 - well done ! 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 Everytime I leave revision til last minute and end up feeling like this, I swear I'll never do it again. Ha.

That's fine, it wanted you to list the aggravating and mitigating factors, like racism, commited on bail, bad criminal record vs showing remorse and pleading guilty etc...

Stuff like aims and level of sentencing was irrelevant but enhansing.

I'm pretty sure stuff like the PSR, antecedents, witness impact statements and plea in mitigation could easily get marks. I also included stuff on the CJA1991 regarding sentencing (tariffs, etc), but not sure if that's as relevant.

I had 5 mins to apply duty, breach and damages to the tort case - only had time to rush through it naming the questions, factors involved etc and v briefly why it satisfied each. Do you need to use cases or acts in application, or is it ok if you just use them in the 15 mark explanation?
