My teacher has decided that she has set us 8 A-level exams for 2 topics. Is she even allowed to do this? I am explaining very late as exams are due soon but in the real A-level exams we only get 3. How is this fair?

8 x 3 hours exams? Not very likely.

On 2 topics? Do you mean Criminal Law & Tort law. I think you have gotten confused. She has set 2 tests which consist 8 topics in both crime and 8 topics in Tort. I teach law so that’s what i believe the teacher had done. It’s impossible to set 8 questions on 1 topic like ABH (which is one topic). What I believe the teacher will do is set the Criminal paper and in that criminal paper there will be 8 topics so murder, GBH Defences, and various substantive topics in the criminal law paper. Feel free to ask me anything you need clearing

Nope she explicitly told us that we're sitting 8 papers, 4 for Crim 4 for tort.
We haven't a clue how this is being done and we have asked for it to be separate but she did confirm before half-term holiday that it is 8 papers. Which is why I put this up and yes on criminal and tort. Thank you for giving me your view as a law teacher however

In fact this is a very clever way of assessing how good you are at problem solving, how much you know the law, and how much you know cases and the structure of each question. So, that the grade you get in the papers is a clear indication of how well you know the content across the 2 years rather than just fluking 1 paper for crime hoping that topics you haven’t covered won’t come up. In fact, I may implement something similar to my students

I've only done my criminal paper so far, I think we did the 2020 paper and I thought it went well! I usually prefer criminal so I'm a bit worried about what's coming up on the tort paper but if it's similar to the criminal paper, it shouldn't be too bad! Has your teacher created their own questions?
