GCSE AQA Law Unit 2: Law in Action 25th May 2012 Exam Paper

What did you get for the question in criminal about the girl returning to Nell, intending to commit theft and then running away? :s-smilie:

I got robbery as he used force immediately before the theft. I used the case R v Hale and the act section 8 of the theft act 1968

Is it possible for me to get an A even if I didnt use that many key cases to relate my answers to? I only used about 4 key cases and thought that wasn't enough?

You don't have to always use cases but to get the higher marks you would need authority (case/act) or both. What topics did you do?

I found them surprisingly okay, I thoroughly elaborated on my answers, however I still have this strange feeling of not having written well enough. How about you? How did you find your exam?

I actually thought it was a good exam and was happy that burglary did not come up. It was fair exam. Hopefully I get my A* which I'm aiming for.

Grade boundaries were generally low for the past few years. As far as I know you were allowed to drop approximately 30 marks and still get an A :smile:

Damn that's incredibly low, but remember its the overall mark that counts I guess

I did both Unit 1 and Unit 2 at the same time, as my teacher decided to cover the whole material first, and then when we finished the entire syllabus we were just practising etc. I'm expected A/B. How about you? :smile:

Ohh my teacher taught unit 1 first and then we did the test I got an A* which I worked really hard for and hopefully I try to do the same in unit 2.
