Hey,
im currently in yr 13 studying a level law.
it is my least favourite a level so im probably going to be biased but i do think there is a lot of content which u have to revise word for word.
but there is less evaluation than my other a levels.
but i think if u really revise the content and class work its straightforward :smile:

would you say a level law is hard and isn't the revision guide a lot.Is it hard to structure essays in law?

its definitely hard if u don’t revise as you cant make stuff up and put it in ur own words.
my teacher doesnt let us use revision guides so im not sure what theyre like but the booklets we use for each topic is very detailed.
the structure isnt too hard tbh u get the basic A01 questions and then for scenario 20 mark question you have to do A01 and A02.
and u get 20 mark evaluation questions.

yhh my law teacher makes his own booklets they are more simplified and easier to follow cause it basically tells you how to answer a question word for word to get full marks on the exam questions
Apart from law what else do you do.How do you find law as a subject.

my other subjects are Sociology and Psychology.
Law is definitely my least favourite like if i could go back and change it i definitely would but its helpful in a way as it relates to my university course.
How do you find sociology i know there's a lot of theories to remember but is it hard to structure essay questions.Some people say sociology is easy but I have no clue.

I find it my easiest A level, I think because you don’t have to know stuff in *that* much depth so as long as you look over anything you don’t understand, you should be fine. Its a memory test more than anything.

sociology is my favourite out of the 3, it is a lot of theories but once u fully understand it its pretty easy to understand and i find it interesting so i enjoy the content.
i find the structuring is pretty simple like for the 10 markers its 2 detailed paragraphs.
and for the 20/30 markers its a intro para and usually 3 or more main paragraphs with evaluations at the end of each and then a conclusion paragraph.
pretty straightforward especially after practice and some quetions come with an item which u quote in ur work and these are always helpful it making it easy to structure your answer.

It seems like a lot to remember the revision guide seems so big.
