OCR LAW A2 Criminal Law 2015

Will a defence always come up in section A? worried incase it won't and we haven't been taught other A questions apart from defences!

There is a pattern for that yes. But thats a bit risky from you teachers😅 i wouldnt worry too much bcus as i said a defence does consistently come up (consent is likely as a heads up) :-)

True but for example, for ELS which i was resting we only learnt 4 topics which had consistently come up in every exam and this year sentencing was missed out! Luckily i was redoing it on an A grade already (for extra UMS) but still I'm worried they'll miss defences out for criminal law this year!!

I mean its impossible to tell but we would be unlucky if they did! I have just prepared essays for most topics, like if you know everything for an essay, you can do a scenario on it. So the more you know, the more u can relax. I mean the fact an defence essay seems to always come up paired with the fact ur teacher have suggested it means i wouldnt worry

I may learn essays for Non-fatal and Theft (Robbery and burglary) for section A aswell?

do you guys think involuntary manslaughter might come up for section B?

Hey, I'm doing this exam and I have notes on most stuff (except consent) if anyone needs any. They're like booklets with "fill in the gaps" and relevant articles and case names then you have to just fill in the POL and facts.

Please can you send me your booklets?

I like robbery and burglary but the fact you have to explain theft (which is so long) makes it almost impossible for me to write in 50 mins.

Has anyone got any tips for timing?

All 3 of my teachers are examiners and they are predicting that consent, Strict liab, theft/robbery/burglary (in one), OAP and manslaughter will be v likely to come up for the 2 x 50 markers and insanity, automatism and defences are likely for the 20 marker. I know it doesn't narrow it down but they have been pretty spot in in the past. Consent will be on the paper 98% as it's the special study next year for 2016 so the examiners are probably going to throw that in on the big paper

Hi would you mind sending me the booklets please?

Has anyone got tips to structure a 50 mark essay question

Use headings and sub-headings! It's surprising how useful they actually are!
