Many students were able to use paragraphs, where appropriate, as well as key words to signpost responses. For example, when responding to ‘analyse’ questions, students used phrases such as ‘moreover’and ‘this can be seen’ to transition from explanation to analysis. Additionally, students demonstrated a good understanding of foundational concepts such as burden and standard of proof, the rights of the accused and class actions.  \nAreas with potential for improvement included:  \n􀀁 demonstrating understanding of the division of law-making powers, parliamentary committees and Royal Commissions, and the checks on the law-making powers of the Commonwealth Parliament  \n􀀁 carefully reading questions to fully understand their scope and limitations. For example, in Section A Question 3b. , students were required to analyse two factors that may affect the success of future constitutional reform through the referendum process. While responses identified relevant factors, many did not link these to the success of future constitutional reform  \n􀀁 accurately addressing the specific command term within each question. For example, responses to Question 3c. often explained how the Australian Constitution acts as a check on the law-making powers of the Commonwealth Parliament rather than discussing the necessary points  \n􀀁 avoiding inclusion of unnecessary definitions that are not explicitly required by the question. Where needed, definitions should be incorporated implicitly into responses rather than rote learned and included in a separate paragraph  \n􀀁 making effective use of stimulus material beyond simply incorporating names within responses, and where appropriate, identifying connections between sources and using multiple sources to strengthen a response  \n􀀁 providing the specified number of reasons, differences or features asked for in the question, and ensuring these are clearly identified in the response. For example, Section B Question 2b. asked for one role of the lower house of the Victorian Parliament. Where more than one role was provided, only the first role was marked  \n􀀁 providing comprehensive and detailed responses. Students are encouraged to develop a strong understanding of the relevant key knowledge and key skills to ensure they can provide detail when required  \n􀀁 using cases, evidence or data studied throughout the year to substantiate or expand on points where appropriate – particularly in response to questions in Section A. For instance, examples or evidence could have been used to enhance responses to Section A Question 3a. (reasons for constitutional reform) and Question 3c. (checks on the law-making powers of the Commonwealth Parliament) .  \n2024 VCE Legal Studies external assessment report  \nAdditionally, examination techniques that could improve student responses include ensuring handwriting is clear and legible, using blue or black pen for readability, and correctly labelling responses. The examination is scanned and marked electronically, and it is therefore important that students write ‘PTO’, ‘see extra space’ or similar to direct assessors to continued responses where necessary. Moreover, structuring responses with well-organised paragraphs and clear transitions helps to ensure clarity and alignment with the requirements of the question. For example, when analysing two factors, each factor should be addressed in a separate paragraph, with use of analytic language to support the response.  \nIn 2024, 65 examinations were potentially impacted by the early publication of the examination material. After extensive analysis, only 5 exams were found to have been impacted. The Legal Studies examination was one of those 5 examination","cbCaisop8zaoygoa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisop8zaoygoa","pdf",448492,"English","# General comments\n## Areas with potential for improvement\n## Examination techniques\n## Early publication impact and panel recommendations\n# Specific information\n## Section A\n## Question 1a","[{\"question\":\"What legal concepts did students generally understand well in the 2024 VCE Legal Studies examination?\",\"answer\":\"Students showed a good understanding of key legal concepts and command terms, including burden and standard of proof, the rights of the accused, and class actions.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main areas identified for improvement in student responses?\",\"answer\":\"Key improvements included understanding division of law-making powers and related parliamentary checks, reading questions carefully for scope, accurately addressing the command term, avoiding unnecessary definitions, and providing the required number of reasons, differences, or features.\"},{\"question\":\"How did early publication affect the examination results in 2024, and what did the Expert Advisory Panel do?\",\"answer\":\"In 2024, 65 examinations were potentially impacted and only 5 were found to be impacted.
