Honestly, no. There isn't much point speculating what the questions could be for this paper.

Fingers crossed there's something to do with forest laws, conscientious objection, capital punishment, vagabonds. I'm doubting there will be witchcraft in this paper though.

How come you don't think witchcraft will be there?

It seems almost too obvious that it will come up, if it does I can safely say it won't be the 16 marker.

Sorry, \I have some more questions!
In the industrial revolution, how did the punishment of women change?
Did prisons change more in the 19th or 20th century?
I was thinking the first question could be to do with Fry's impact. For the second one I thought the 20th century because hard labour was abolished??

I would say, for the second question, that prisons changed more in the 19th century. New prision were built, like Milbank Prison in 1819 based on the ideas of George Paul, a prison reformer. Plus, Elizabeth Fry worked towards improving conditions at Newgate etc in the early 19th century.
In 1823, the Gaols Act was passe.
The sperate and silent systems were also introduced in this century.

In contrast, you could talk about how in the 20th century, executions were moved into prisons in some places, and then how life-sentances replaced capital punishment so new high-level security prisons were built.
Don't forget to write a conclusion stating which century you chose and why and keep linking back to the question

Hope that helped 😄

Does anyone have any really hard exam questions that might come up for this exam?

You need to memorise dates. I've tried to memorise 1 side of A4 so far and it works.

Could you possibly post a picture of the dates you learnt? I need to cram some dates in, but I don't know which ones! :smile:

I would also find this extremely helpful if you could do it! :smile:

I did a past question and really didn't know how to answer it:

To what extent did royal control over law enforcement increase during the period from the Norman Conquest to the end of the Tudor period? (16)

Any ideas?? Thanks :smile:

I was wondering if anyone can go through the exam structure for me as I am a bit confused on how the paper works.
How long do you recommend I spend on each question and how much shall I roughly write?

Also in which questions do I need and conclusion and need to state the origin, purpose etc

Thank you :smile:

This year, the course has changed, so on tomorrow's paper we will have two 8 markers, a 6 marker, a 12 marker and a 16 marker which also has 3 additional marks available for SPaG. This still adds up to 50 marks in total. (+ the 3 for SPaG!)

How long you spend on a question depends on how much you write. Let the booklet guide you - they'll give you enough space to write a long enough answer! Try to spend the longest on the 16 marker though, because this is worth the extra marks for your spelling. Make sure you check it through at the end.

You'll need a conclusion in the 12 and 16 mark questions, but they wouldn't go amiss in the 8 markers either; it just depends on how you are doing for time.

Hope that helped! Good luck!! :smile:

That's a really nasty question...

Look at role of the king on law enforcement between the Norman and Tudor period, and simply describe the changes they made an how much overall it changed. What changed and what stayed the same? Topics to talk about are Forest Laws, English Common Law and types of courts.
