Study options and assessment

73 original lessons provide 219 guided, independent and application tasks. All 53 syllabus section entries have linked teaching: 25 AS entries and 28 additional A Level entries. Contract has 20 lessons and tort has 19. These are teaching foundations, not a fully validated exam-preparation programme. Original educational scenarios about the law of England and Wales, checked on 14 October 2026. Model answers are formative reasoning, not advice about a real dispute, Cambridge marks or predicted grades. Read the exact statute, case and exam-year source where a rule is disputed or changes. A larger annotated authority bank, full unseen papers and specialist law-teacher review remain outstanding. June and November entries are available, including private candidates. Confirm the exam year, administrative-zone timetable and centre entry. AS uses Papers 1 and 2 in the same series. Full A Level uses all four papers together or an authorised staged route; carry-forward eligibility and time limits must be confirmed with the exams officer.

June and November entries are available, including private candidates. Confirm the exam year, administrative-zone timetable and centre entry. AS uses Papers 1 and 2 in the same series. Full A Level uses all four papers together or an authorised staged route; carry-forward eligibility and time limits must be confirmed with the exams officer.

Choose your paper route

  • Standalone AS · both versionsPaper 1: 90 minutes, 75 marks · Paper 2: 90 minutes, 60 marks

    Each is 50% of AS and both must be in the same series. Paper 2 Section A uses only its supplied source material.

  • Full A Level · all in one seriesPapers 1–4 · 90 minutes each · 25% per component

    Contract and tort are compulsory additional content. Papers 1, 3 and 4 have 75 marks; Paper 2 has 60. Their unequal raw totals do not change the 25% qualification weights. Linked teaching must be supplemented with authority reading, unseen practice and specialist feedback.

  • Full A Level · staged entryEligible AS carry-forward plus Papers 3 and 4

    Confirm carry-forward rules, time limits and the exact year with the exams officer. The published staged route does not establish individual eligibility. Complete contract/tort teaching and the outstanding exam preparation before treating the route as readiness.

Cambridge does not require previous Law study. The syllabus concerns England and Wales; do not substitute another jurisdiction's rules.

AS covers topics 1 and 2; full A Level adds contract and tort in topics 3 and 4. All section entries now link to teaching and short staged practice. A link is not an examiner-approved complete treatment or readiness certificate. The authority-depth, specialist-review and full-paper limitations remain explicit below.
