Statistical Screening Purpose of screening. Impact of screening on the distribution of grades and grade boundaries.

General Observations Larger entry than for previous series, more centres new to WJEC coming on board. Overall the standard improved considerably from the January series. Some candidates did not answer the required number of questions - still rubric errors. Weaker candidates presented pre- prepared generic answers.

General Observations Some candidates ignored the stimulus material provided in LA2. Generally well tackled, despite ongoing problems with some aspects of the specification e.g. human rights,, and the Supreme Court. General lack of legal authority and supporting case citation.

Tackling the Specification The ability to answer the question directly is very significant. Essay writing skills will need to be emphasised. Candidates must read each question carefully before choosing. Both parts of questions MUST be attempted.

Specific Weaknesses Mis-reading of questions - read the questions carefully, noting commands. Clear understanding of command words is essential and some candidates failed to fulfil the assessment criteria because they failed to respond to the command words.

Specific Weaknesses Time allocation; still evidence of over and underwriting. Not defining key terms. Limited deployment of paragraphs. Repetition. Dated cases / lacking in legal authority.
