Legal Studies: Wtf? (1 Viewer)

[townie]

Wat the hell was with the legal test, they completley CHANGED Section 1 and what questions were asked. Section 2 used a NEWSPAPER article, which it has never done and had a TWELVE mark question.

did anybody else find this absolutley shocking?

 

[ar5ena1]

different yes, where is the l/s board is what i want to know.

Change is good but in this case not so good. That 12 mark crime question screwed me up a bit. I left it to last and dribbled on about stuff most probably irrelevant to the question. Oh well. Section III was pretty good though.

No too hard. M/c was fucked as usual. Short answes I was expecting Human Rights but handled them well. I had prepared essay plans for both Family and Workplace - exactly the same quesions (conflict/cooperation). So not too bad, but I think heaps of people would have struggled but I'm expecting 90+.

multiple choice was a total bitch.
the section one thing was probably quite likely, theyd asked all the law in society multiple choice stuff and all the short answer human rights stuff so i guess it was time to swap it around.
lucky for nsg, the twelve mark crime question was in our trials.
and when are they going to stop asking effectiveness?!! i was so hoping for law reform.
plus i thought the newspaper format was fine.. different, but no problem.
but multiple choice took it up the ass.

short answers and the last two of crime were a bit screwed but the essays were ones we had basically odne before

YAY ITS OVER

pre planned response will own you, read the markers reports from previous years.

pwned.

 

[~*HSC 4 life*~]

yay its over! i liked the exam, except for mark allocations

 

[luke323]

Short answer sucked and 12 marks for crime question was a bit over the top.... essays questions were to be expected and i fucked up with multiple choice.. all in all not expecting some of the shit they put in there!! oh well there goes my HSC!

 

[ar5ena1]

MC was hard my answers were:

1. C
2. C
3. A
4. A
5. B
6. D
7. A
8. A
9. A
10. D
11. B
12. B
13. B
14. C
15. B

Short answer was a bit bullshit especially the second one. Otherwise ok. Hopfully 90+ depending on how badly i got screwed in MC.

 

[luke323]

im aiming 80 +.... how many pages per essay did ppl write??? also how many pages for 12 mark crime question?????

 

[ar5ena1]

Crime: 15
Family: 12
Workplace: 11 (ran out of time!!! noooo)

 

[luke323]

cool... i did 10 10 and 10
ran outta time also...

 

[vanbanned]

....They werent pre planned essays, they were just plans and to the exact same questions. They won't own me......And how the fuck would they know. I didn't write "These are pre-planned essays. You own me."

Crime: 12
Family: 13
Workplace: 13

...10-11 words per line.

I found the paper quite unexpected, but I'd been scared that they'd decide to change it all for us so not completely horrifying. I guess I braced myself for it. I hated the multiple choice though. Randomest questions ever!

My teacher was not very happy. It was a strange examination but I don't think it was that bad.

The 2x5 mark questions was a good idea. Mostly because I knew the answers to those

 

[MiuMiu]

Don't judge potential marks by page number, I wrote bout 7-8 for each extended response last year and got high 90s

 

[townie]

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

 

[dezzy]

my teacher was disappointed

exactly ^^

i believe quality over quantity. this boy in my class who is coming first had 6 booklets, so i can imagine how much he wrote...

i write enough as i need & i'm happy with how i approached the exam, considering i'm not a "studier".
