Legal Studies: Wtf? (1 Viewer)

[LadyBec]

My teacher wasn't happy with the wording of some of the questions.
That 12 mark question SUCKED, but appart from that it was alright

 

[Ziff]

My theory is: the standards packages say the exemplars and B6s are into 2nd booklets, so do that

 

[Butterfly Kissz]

yeh, the exam was weird in that regard...

but what was funny was- i told my friend just before the exam.. i bet that there isnt gonna be a section on human rights where we have to do short answers on it this time..
and not only that, i went further to say that i bet it will be on the whole law and justice thing focussing on the notions of justice!!!

shes like nah! they cant do that!! and i was right!!!

ooooo i have the gift of foresight!!!

but twas very strange.. i must admit

 

[-Recoil-]

Yeah I was thinking about looking into the differences of common and civil law systems (luckily my friend asked me ages ago about it and I remembered most what I'd told him), but I so didn't think it would come up because I don't give a shit about civil systems, being an Aussie and all. I'll probably only get 3.5/4 marks for it though.

Hmmm..sounds like it was a hard test. Well, not to worry.
Just remember, I contributed to your UAI. (even if it was adversely).

i dont know what my teacher thought, but he busted me and some classmates leaving early, whoops, lol.
its over! woo!
i thought it was crap. did terrible. essays were ok, expected, but the rest was b.s.

wrote
crime: 10
family: 20
world order: 20
there was no human rights short answers which kinda sucked coz i studied for that..
crime was dodgy at times.. but overall it was ok

 

[dark`secrets]

lol the test was so completely different from the one's i did for trials and stuff

 

[dark`secrets]

i demand the SMH read this thread and print our complaints! does anybody know wat their teachers thought?

same, my teacher thought it was the shittest exam LOL!
(sorry for the double post)

I was definitely expecting to give an example of a contemporary human rights issue, I was positive I would get full marks for that question, for those who read my blog, you would certainly know this, lol

 

[Lhyviathan]

My teacher reckoned maybe 80% of the state would fail/do badly in the short answer section...

... Which makes me glad I'm sitting NEXT year's paper. ^^

 

[MouNtY]

i did:
6 pages for crime
8 pages for consumer
8 pages for family

only reason i was pissed off wit the exam was because there wasn't a human rights question.....and i spent ages preparing for it.......but i used it in my family essay so i'll get over it

 

[skittlebrau]

I didn't see him, but apparently my teacher was furious about the whole thing!

 

[Atticus.]

i was pissed off wit the exam was because there wasn't a human rights question.....and i spent ages preparing for it.......

are you kidding? the whole multiple choice was basically on human rights... i found them so tough but i thought the crime was easy... rest was hard... my legal teacher apparently wasnt impressed

 

[Ziff]

All legal teachers were pissed off, like, very pissed off from what I heard...

 

[kelboo]

That's because it was a SHIT exam in general. the only questions I was fully and completely prepared for were the 2 focus studies, because they are usually simple and very easy to predict.

 

[nuffy]

it was a damn tough test whatever anybody says - and the focus questions were very different from previous years so i woudn't say they were predictable.

My teacher's comment "Hardest legal studies test i've ever seen"
Other teacher from school "Hardest test of the HSC this year"

 

[Tabris]

Heres what i think

Section1:

That was the hardest MCQ ever, comparing it to the 3 previous tests, this was the hardest, some answers were strongly linked and hard choices, from the looks of the MC answers thread, lots of people got different answers

Institutionalised inequality? done that before, but didnt expect 5 marks,

Inquisitorial and adversarial system was a bit of a shock

first time in 3 yrs they didnt include HR

Section 3

First time they had a an article, first three questions was alright but the 4 th 12 marker was absolute shit, reminds u could write countelss stuff but no time

Section 4

Ok, both were pretty good questions for once straight out of the syllabus

A of consumers and B of family were pretty good


Overall:
That was the hardest legal test, nothing like the trials 94% internal assessment just got dragged down.... shit test

 

[Butterfly Kissz]

they definitely tried to throw us off this year.. for many the exam structure was quite unexpected.

but like i said b4, i kinda half expected it with my premonitions and all... hehehe but still- i had the feeling it wud change...

mine wasn't, we were all pretty pleased with that exam
