Hi, I'm doing AS law on OCR and I was wondering if anyone had notes on the first year as my teacher is absolutely useless, when I asked her what specification we were doing, she had no clue what a specification was! All she does is tell us does highlight the same things in the text book as she had.
Any help would be appreciated please.

whats new? tell me about it. if you're going to be doing law at university, wait till you get there. depending on which uni you go to, your lecturers could be much worse.

I agree with this. While a teacher can set you along the right path (which is actually very helpful to form a basis for your learning), I find it is a very independent subject.

A-level or University law?

Where did you apply?!
And how are you getting on with A-level law at the moment?

And how are you getting on with A-level law at the moment?
I was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning of the A2 by the amounts of cases; statutes and sections within them; legal principles, reform proposals and evaluation points. Now I got used to it, and there is not a single day when I am not looking at my notes in order to consolidate my knowledge of facts which actually feels pretty satisfying.

Those universities have great reputations, they're all Russell Group, aren't they? And I was feeling that way about the LNAT but I just took the risk and 4/5 I applied to are LNAT ones! (KCL, UCL, Bristol and Birmingham - also UEA, which is non-LNAT.)
I think the LNAT went okay though! Good luck and I hope you get your first choice!
I'm still feeling overwhelmed with A2 law, honestly.
It's just so different to AS!

What did you get in your AS law if you don't mind me asking? I genuinely thought I did good, but ended up with a B (probably because of self-teaching it).

I got the same as you! A mark (or two, getting mixed up with the UMS) away from the next grade boundary so I was really upset, especially since it didn't change with a remark.
Aiming for an A* this year so will REALLY have to step up - not feeling as motivated as I should though, which is horrible. What are you doing differently this year to bump up your grade?

Hope this year OCR would be reasonable as to marking our papers, about 8 people applied for a remark last year and in average their UMS rose by 6
which just shows how negligent OCR were. I however didn't want to risk it, and I am retaking Sources of Law anyway.

Instead of starting my revision in April (as I did last year) I am already going through all my notes and testing myself on cases regularly, it is more like a very casual revision, but it really helps for the content to stay in my mind so when exam time comes I wouldn't need to start from the scratch.

do you have links to resources, notes, answer structures for both contract and tort? do you think you can email them to me so that I can take a look? i too have had a couple of teachers come and go so I'm actually self-studying law on my own. I can't private message you hence this post on the public forum. thank you.

I've started revising and I still feel like I'm going to be unprepared for the exam, I do need to remember more cases to improve. I'm on WJEC, I don't know how different it is to OCR!
Anyway, good luck with your retake and the A2 exam, you seem set to do well as you sound studious and committed - I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well!!

I don't know why, but it seems like the majority of A-level Law teachers are like that, or maybe that is a problem with the subject. I essentially had to teach it myself in my AS year.

Should I drop or self teach myself?
