When we checked the paper I nearly died. Then I realised it wasn't as bad as I once thought lol. Wasn't expecting transnational crime specifically though, that was a bit surprising

I quite liked the paper. Good to see domestic violence was assessed. There were some interesting multiple choice questions.

Multiple choice was brutal. The rest was easy. What did everyone do for crime? I did drugs, taxation, child abduction and human trafficking, though the first two were poorly done.

World Order and Family were really easy questions. Multiple choice were mainly alright, some curve balls.

Short answers, pretty easy i was lucky as we did Slavery as a class for our contemporary issue. Also AC3 helped lol.

Crime essay wasnt too bad but now i think i went horrible. I dont know how much people wrote but i did like 4 pages just on human trafficking and drug importation etc. How much did you need to write about? Legislation and cases were pretty easy to incorporate into that i found.

Thought the Family question was great, annoyed that Workplace asked for Discrimination specifically, only wrote like 1.5 pages..

The multiple choice, human rights and crime tho.. wtf
When i saw that crime essay i was like fek and did my option essays first. Last 40 minutes of the exam time i drafted for the first time in my life lol because i didnt know what to say

Got rekt in multiple choice LOOL. Oh wells. I'll never see my legal teacher again anyways :)
Was quite happy with crime question - for some reason i got a feeling that it wasnt going to be young offenders and thought it was going to be related to international law so i took the risk and didnt study young offenders at all. Paid off.

Family and World Order Question was pretty generic so im happy with that. Used a total of 7 booklets for this section

Finished 10 minutes early :D I didnt feel rushed at all which was good.

Also got screwed over the first short answer about the Australian Human Rights Commission so wrote some bull crap :L

LOL yes its always good to mention domestic and international measures especially since the topic was about international crime. gg

Just curious, how did you guys incorporate ICC for transnational crimes? I decided to steer clear of it as I wasn't too keen and could only think of crimes against the international community that had been heard there, and not TN crimes.
