I feel okay about it. Especially when we have the advanced information it feels easier to prepare for it now.

I think that's what they're going to ask for the 15 mark essay. I think the question would look something like "Examine the meaning and significance of 'fault' within criminal law..." or "Examine the meaning and significance of 'fault' in civil AND criminal law...". The essay I prepared gives examples of laws that are fault-based and not fault-based and why. We don't know if they're going to ask us about just criminal law or both criminal and civil law so you should prepare two versions of the essay.

do you mind sharing a model answer so i know how to structure it, thanks btw that helps!

What I do is to break the law down (e.g. self-defence has two parts, honest belief to use force and whether a reasonable amount of force is used) and explain how each part makes the law fault/not fault-based because I find that easier. I hope this is useful.

The advanced information says "...including the meaning and importance of fault in civil and/or criminal law.". they're probably going to ask bout either just criminal law or both criminal and civil law. I don't think they'll ask you about just tort law since it's on paper 1.

do you know what grade boundaries are likely to be like? Is 65100 likely to be enough for an A? Im confident in paper 1 and 2, just paper 3 tat is difficult

Can anyone explain to me - specific intent?
Is it another word for intention that they just threw in there to make everything complex.
From my understanding specific intent - intention, basic intent - recklessness.

unfortunately went late, exam questions were so easy but i didnt have time literally only did question 11 and 10 and rushed 9 and 8, skipped the rest. I reckon minimum of 48 marks, enough for a B u think?

I feel pleased with mine - although question 10 and 11 took up most my time, more than normal!! I managed to answer all the questions and had a minute or two to check through.
I don't think it was difficult per say but I am surprised at certain things included (not sure how much I am allowed to discuss) and it felt like there was a lot of indicitative content in the 30 markers, which is perhaps both a positive and negative.
I'd rate the 30 markers a bit more difficult that previous papers but all the other questions were very easy and straight forward.
