[PringlePop]

I did this last year and it was quite long, IMO. I wonder how it was this year...

[jaccerz]

[karishmajessica]

Screw last year's exams! I hope this year's is easier, for their sake....

[Mime]

[lachymm]

This exam was easy as piss

[saaaaaam]

Which court hears culpable driving?

Other than that I really liked the exam

[traciet]

The exam was 3 'til 5:15 this arvo Just got out now.
It was friggen awesome! I'm unsure of whether I covered enough points in a couple of the extended response questions though... Question 11 (Part A) was perfect! My teacher predicted it exactly, which was helpful.

Culpable driving is heard in the County Court, this is one of the main criticisms of the courts.

Good. So long as other people put County too.

I absolutely loved the extended response on the adversary system. I didn't think they would put it on there though, so that was a nice surprise.

Strangely, it was the 1 and 2 mark questions that got me. Like the rights of the police and the individual. My teacher spent no time on these and basically told us to go memorise three of each. Which was fine except the ones I had learnt were all from before an arrest and the question asked for after. So I made an educated guess. I hope they're right.  

[AVeryAverageUsername]

Ah crap. I debated whether it was County Court or Magistrates'. For some reason the next question about 'who would decide' set off alarm bells but didn't convince me to change.

Reckon there could be a technicality that most culpable driving would end up indictable charged summarily? XD

Other than that, like andy said: first exam I'm proud of.

Edit: Excuse the question I really should have learnt in Year 11 but are culpable driving and culpable driving causing death the same thing? In the end that's one of the factors that convinced me to pick Magistrates'...woops XD

[babygurl]

A+ cut off? Do you think it will be higher than last years??

[Abdi]

It was awesome as....
