Complete AQA AS level Law Past Papers
We’ve worked with teachers and higher education representatives to develop our new qualifications, refreshing and modernising the content. To support you and your students, we’ve taken a fresh approach to the structure of the specifications, creating a clear and straightforward layout. AS and A-level Law students will develop a variety of transferable skills such as analysis, reasoning and problem-solving, alongside the ability to construct legal arguments.
Why choose AQA for AS Law
Studying Law gives students an understanding of the role of Law in today’s society and raises their awareness of the rights and responsibilities of individuals.
By learning about legal rules and how and why they apply to real life, students also develop their analytical ability, decision making, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All these skills are highly sought after by higher education and employers.
We’re confident that you and your students will enjoy this specification. We created it with help from teachers and subject experts and we’ve kept the content that you and your students enjoy. We’ve included some new case studies and theories to keep content fresh, relevant and engaging.
Topics are clearly structured and include:
- The nature of law and the English legal system
- Private law
- Public law
- Legal skills
Clear, well-structured exams, accessible for all
To enable your students to show their breadth of knowledge and understanding of legal issues, we’ve created a simple and straightforward structure and layout for our papers, using a mixture of question types including multiple choice, short answer and extended response questions. Assessment remains 100% exam-based.
