This document contains all the past paper questions from Eduqas A-Level Law exams.
This is for the contract option (no human rights questions are included).
The questions have been organised so that students can sit 40 minute blind essays.
Updated 25/03/24 to include 2023 questions
Each page contains either:
1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3)
1x 25 Mark Scenario (Paper 2)
2x 5 Mark + 1x 15 Mark Sources of Law (Paper 1)
1x 10 Mark + 1x 15 Mark English Legal Systems (Paper 1)
There are 80 pages in total.
How I Use This
I have the entire document printed.
I then hand out random essays to students every week in the run up to their exam. They then have 40 minutes to answer the question/s on their sheet.
This means each student gets a different question. When we go through the essays they’ve been given they therefore get the opportunity to look at essay plans and feedback for several essays rather than just one.
Each essay is numbered at the top of the page. Make sure you get students to write the number on the top of their answer so you know which is which!
