    For Q2 I wrote about assault and battery - doh! But overall, quite a straightforward exam if you know your stuff once you've gotten your head around things

    What things did people mention for Q2? I want to see what I missed out on...

    What the?!
    I had the same structure and everything, Q1 on development of law, Q2 essay and Q3 problem Qs. Did the colleges get to pick or something because ive never even heard of all this offences stuff yet I did OCR special study this morning, on exclusion clauses. And it was terrible, I hoped to come on here and see loads of people moaning about how bad it was, to make me feel better about it! Lol

    There are different Special studies thats why, and most people here did the Criminal law one :p:

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, the criminal law one was just as bad. i hated it and thought it was absolutely terrible! I know how you feel, it makes it worse when everyone thought it was good

    I know right! You were supposed to identify the offence and then what? i just went onto required mens rea :P and whether consent was available ( BUT that probably wasn't required ) so I felt like for 10 marks I could've written so much more!

    Just needs practice. Look at the mark scheme when it becomes available. You can do it, its just starting off to revise that is the biggest challenge.
