In Unit G151: English Legal System Section B, you have a choice of two questions — either question 6 or question 7. You must answer at least one question from Section B. Each question is divided into two parts, part (a) and part (b). Part (a) follows a typical descriptive question (like that in Section A), where you are asked to describe how something operates, e.g. the police’s powers of stop and search or sentences available for an adult offender. Candidates who score highly on the Section B questions are able to write in depth and at length, and in many cases in quite sophisticated detail.
Timing is crucial for G151. As it is a 2-hour paper worth a maximum of 120 marks, candidates are strongly advised to spend no more than 30 minutes per question in Section B, in effect a mark per minute. You should work through the specimen question and use previous mark schemes to practise your answers before the exam. It is also worth noting that the mark schemes are not prescriptive and that a response can achieve marks in the top band without citation of all the suggested points in the mark scheme.
