You are super!(Original post by JessChappers01)
To everyone doing fault!
This is the essay plan i follow when writting my response and when i did a past paper essay on it my teacher gave me 27-30 so hopefully its all useful to you
(btw only just managed to figure out how to attach things on here!
If anyone has any Law&Morals and Balancing conflicting interest plans id appreciate it (im struggling more with law and morals)
have you written yours based on this then? How long does it take you? In really really worried about timing! Prefer to spen longer on the other part so I'm trying to get my essay written in 45 ish mins!!

but yeah 45 mins sounds like a decent ammount of time to write a quick plan at the top & write a cracking essay

Re: AQA Law Unit 4Oh dear(Original post by .gina)
Nobody in my college got higher than a D in Unit 1 last year, because they thought it was a good idea to hire a solicitor with no teaching experience. If the exam was about incest we would've all got A's but it didn't work that way XD
it annoyed me so much though cause i even got the paper back and it appeared to marked extremely harsh! Like one question i had done before i did the exam my teacher marked it gave me like 9/10 i think and the one i did in the exam was word for word and only got 6 or 7 marks! And the teacher i had actually marks pretty harshly!
According to my teacher though some of the markers of the law papers are pretty thick -
Re: AQA Law Unit 4Thank you for this(Original post by JessChappers01)

I can post my law and morals essay for you if you like where I got an A? I can't remember the exact mark as I'd have to fish it out but that might help?
Also has anyone got either an essay plan or marked essay for law and justice? -

Good! Thanks for the essay plan - puts everything i had in my head so its not in an unorganised mess
I do have an essay plan for law and morals (i personally dont like it) but ill type it up tomorrow for you cus im just writing my judicial creativity essay and dont really want to confused them if that makes sense?
Just having a break atm getting a headache and eyes are going weird! Not looking forward to the clash on exam day. I hope they let me choose which one i want to do first

Re: AQA Law Unit 4I think the problem with law is there are so many examiners so you never know if you're gonna get a lenient or harsh one. I think I got a lenient one for Unit 2, as I didn't even answer a question on damages (it was a resit, so this year it was 8 marks) yet I still got 81/100 UMS which seems a bit odd to me lol.(Original post by Clare1994)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4Haha jeez i think i got a harsh one in jan again the question i thought i did the worst one was the one with the highest marks. Also think it was marked harshy cause there was so much you could write! I managed to answer every bit of the first two questions including every part of law included and could of possibly written in more detail in the time but they still got the lowest marks i was like WTF. I knew there were more points i could put on the last question but had forgotten and it was still the question with the highest mark.(Original post by .gina)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4Haha don't worry, I find the main problem with Unit 3/4 is the application part, they seem to want you to go really in depth and consider "what ifs" :/(Original post by Clare1994)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4Some bits are clear you can only do it if there's something nto actually discuss haha.(Original post by .gina)

I don't usually mention the other side but i always explain the points of law and why it should fail or succeed and argue that point i just don't mention the other possible side. Like i'd mention this bit is not clear cut but i believe it will fail or succeed for this reason -
Re: AQA Law Unit 4How have you done in your other law exams if you don't mind me asking? I don't think I'm going to do so well in this one because it's two exams stuck together :/(Original post by Clare1994)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4Alright two As last yr and B in the summer basically need to just get a A in this last exam and i'll have one over all. Meant to be aiming for an A but tbh i don't care what i get as long as i get into uni haha Have to get a B but shouldn't be too much of a problem unless i majorly scuff up the paper. It's just the 35 essay that bothers me don't know how to learn it all!(Original post by .gina)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4I don't sorry, just copying out of the AQA book!(Original post by Clare1994)
Tell me you have something useful that i can use for law and justice! It would save my life! haha
It's so mindnumbling dull, he didn't even have any powerpoints! -
Re: AQA Law Unit 4Yeah I was planning on aiming for an A but I need 85 UMS and I don't see it happening because of concepts. I said to my mate the other week that it'd be so much easier if they hadn't combined them :| I'll be happy with a B, that's all I need really but it'd be nice to get higher(Original post by Clare1994)

Re: AQA Law Unit 4
You can use negligence instead of product liability though cant you? Im sure thats what the mark schemes say! Although they are shockingly awful mark schemes. :/
If i write just an essay for each bit, can i just write the same for whatever questions? Theyre pretty much the same arent they? Getting quite worried. :/Last edited by Jellybeany; 14-06-2012 at 12:02.
