AS Level Law paper 1 OCR

The OCR spec honestly confuses me.

I am meant to sit an AS Level Law paper 1 towards the end of November so I can get my predicted grade (private candidate). I had dropped out of college awhile ago so never got to know all the topics I need specifically for the AS papers (for mocks my teacher made up her own questions).

So something I’ve noticed is that in AS you don’t get the option of 2 questions in section A right? - but my teacher had skipped a topic (access to justice) that means I should revise as it could come up or…?

Also can someone who does/did A Level law OCR write down a list of all the topics I need to know for the AS paper 1? Eg section A: Lay people: juries and Magistrates, civil courts and appeal etc…

And if it’s not too much trouble, as section B in AS is really short (only OAPA problem and evaluation) is there anything else I should know? Like the basics (actually Reus, mens rea, omissions etc)? And if so what kinda questions could come up? Aren’t these things more like some extra knowledge I need to know to include in 20 mark problem questions in A2?

So I most likely need a structure of the whole paper, past papers I found for AS weren’t as useful and the A Level ones…

Would appreciate any help!

Never mind! Just saw the Quizlet link😭would you say it helps you memorise? I was sort of apprehensive because I always heard that paper flashcards help you memorise better.

Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate this xx

hi! its alright hehe i did use the specification website - quizlet helped sm cos it was less time consuming some people like writing down tho x i would usually argue in the scenario questions which section it is so like s18 or s20 (arguing gets u more marks from what ive seen im predicted A*'s) like if your arguing like it could be s20, however it could be s18 because of specific intent - like stuff like that. xx if you need any more help just keep replying to this thread or my insta is aleishaamarshh :smile:

What did you use to create those quizlet other than the textbook. Also how do you know which topic is for which question, I had a look at your quizlet, the notes were there but if I memorised them like that I would never know what piece of that I need for a question. And did you go straight to quizlet ot make notes first
