gotta love massive fucking mindblanks that lead you getting 6/50 if that for section 3... fuck it all...
section 1 was good.. section 2 was fairly straight forward...
just forgot everything that i needed to know for the option topics...
so much for being confident

Section 1 was nice - multiple choice generally easy, and loved the short answers.
Section 2 was fairly good, a bit longer then most... Didn't really like the last bit, but it wasn't too bad.
Section 3 - Family - Options were terrible... I done (a) mainly because I had no idea what (b) was asking. Maybe 18-20/25 or so... Had a mind blank.
Section 3 - Workplace - Didn't like (a) but (b) was very nice. 23+/25 as long as I answered it right... "Changes in Australian Society" refer to changes in social values and physical changes, right? And was I allowed to talk about areas where society has changed but legislation hasn't?
Hopefully a band 6, but I wouldn't be disappointed with a mid-high band 5.

I thought it was an alright paper.
I think the paper was pretty good overall..some of the multiple choice questions were hard, but fairly straight forward. Short answers were almost perfect. for Section III ... I liked the Consumer questions (i did (b)) but didn't really like the family ones

I found the multiple choice to be pretty good, maybe a few weird questions towards the end but that hardly mattered. Short answer was again, good.
Crime... Took me a while to think around the "commitment" bit, but that 'while' was all the time it took for me to get up to it after reading time anyway.
I did b for workplace, thought it was pretty good.
a for consumers, and while I got the content in, I had a mind blank on any cases/legislation I'd be able to use for it.
I'm fairly confident, hopefully a band 5+, but I did finish in 2 and a half hours.

Yeah overall I'm pretty happy. It's probably my best HSC paper so far. I definitely wrote the most for Legal than any other subject thus far.
Law & Society and Crime were very straight-forward. No problems.
For Consumer, I did (B), which wasn't too bad but I guess it could've been better.
For Family, I did (A), which was excellent. I was pretty much laughing all the way through it. Couldn't have asked for a better question.

I thought it was a good exam overall.
me too, the multi's were fucked, some were way too ambiguous
Crime wasnt too bad, took a while though, i focused on factors that cause criminal behaviour for that last question as a reason for low commitment, what do you you think?
Shelter not bad, but too broad, had way to much to write about
Workplace, no effectiveness, had to scrap together 7.5 pages of law reform
overall it was a different paper, not sure how i went, it could have been easier
