Bump!
This exam is freaking me out... I have a massive issue with the time limits on the scenario questions. On non-fatal offence and murder scenarios I just can't finish in time.
What on earth am I doing wrong?
It's not like i'm a bloody idiot either, I got 4 A's at AS in History, English Lit, Politics and Law 0.o

I have my biology exam on the same day as law 03! For some tips, I've been told that in A2 you don't need to add case facts just make sure you outline the principles of all the cases especially the non fatal offences. And make sure for the
Murder questions you really apply the mens rea, its all about application (maybe you have already been told this)

how do you find contract compared to criminal? is it harder? i seem to find topics like that really boring!

Where in criminal law you have interesting (athought occasionally morbid) cases on which you can have a class discussion and suggest law reforms and such the contract law cases are just 'this happened, they sued, end'.
I hate contract if im honest which might be why im dreading the exam so much.

i think everyone should do contract first cos atleast that way if people dont get the grade they want they have the option to re-sit, oh well i suppose i'll just have to work extra hard & try to make it interesting
good luck for ur exam!

Tell me about it! Which exam do you have to do first? I have do law so my hand is going to be dead for the biology paper! I'm okay with law but sometimes I struggle with trying to work out if it's a murder or manslaughter from the scenarios.

i absolutely love the criminal stuff, which actually helps me remember most of cases
i think everyone should do contract first cos atleast that way if people dont get the grade they want they have the option to re-sit, oh well i suppose i'll just have to work extra hard & try to make it interesting
good luck for ur exam!

I'm less likely to remember the stuff i dont like.
However The uni i want to go to have said they'll accept with A*BC instead of their offered ABB so im going to really buckle down regardless of the fact that contract makes me want to kill myself...and everyone else :P
