Hey everyone,
Not sure if people have realised that the examination specifications have been released for the new legal studies study design.
Main points:
-Total marks allocated for the examination will be
70.
-There will be one extended response question worth 10 marks at the end of the examination. There will be
no
choice of topics for students. This question will be drawn from Unit 3 or 4, or both.
-The examination paper may include questions which refer to stimulus materials such as newspaper articles,
extracts from reports or case study material.
What do you all think? Personally, I am slightly annoyed. I hate being rushed for time and 70 marks in 120 minutes seems pretty tough (especially seeing as the sample questions don't look any easier/quicker to answer than in previous exams).
