Structure will be the same, but you can almost guarantee the questions will be much harder. :\

I think MC was hard, but the essays were quite general. I'm hoping for the same, well for the essay side of things. MC - come at me!

MC - easiest thing out.
Short answer - predictable.
Crime essay - not the best but should pull a 13
Options - were very generic questions

Overall, exam seems way too simple for a CSSA paper. Probably because they had to base it off the specimen HSC paper.

totally agree. MC not a tricky question amongst them. short answer very predictable. i thought crime essay was also predictable. Options were a little more difficult with time on world order but overall one of the more simple exams of the trials

Easy multiple choice.

The short answer questions were straight out of the 'learn to' statements in the syllabus, easy.

The crime 15 marker was good, I incorporated the stimulus pretty good, and I addressed the question.

The consumer and family questions were very generic. No question was specifically based on contemporary issues, hmm...

Btw, did anyone notice that section one, at the top it said, "Section I - Law and Society", Lol goes to show the lazy legal examiners use the same template year in, year out! :p


My teacher marks really hard (highest mark in last year's CSSA was 78/100, and in the HSC our highest mark was 97, and that wasn't even the guy who came first in CSSA), so I'm hoping to beat last year's highest, because this exam was a breeze compared with last year's CSSA. Unusually easy CSSA's this year - English, Math, Legal. But Ancient was a bit out there, it's unusual there not too bad this year!

Hopefully Extension Math and Extension History will be easy too! ZOMG Can't believe trials almost over :p

Yeah I noticed that. But my school did too, and whited it out on each individual paper. But dodgy whiteout tape = easily seen through :)

Re: CSSA LEGAL STUDIES - Thought?

Mauricee I know you haven't done the paper, so rather than fishing for questions, why don't you actually study. Or do you need that advantage over everyone else?

(For others, this was the PM I received. Soz, just if this happened at my school and I lost ranks because of it, seems a bit unfair)
hey i wanted to ask you if you could please tell me the questions for the cssa legal studies in particular the human rights short answer the crim 15 marker and the consumer essay it would be greatly appreciated thankyou nd btw any hard mc ur remember

I thought it was a fair paper. MC wasn't that bad. Short answers were predictable as you guys mentioned. I was aiming for the Crime question to revolve around sentencing... but i guess that was the specimen paper. Young offenders was alright. World Order and Family were okay too. Broad questions.

Re: CSSA LEGAL STUDIES - Thought?

yeah I was very very happy with the way I went :). What did most of you cover for the crime question? I'm not sure if I had the right context :p. Also, what did everyone write for the family law essay?
