This document explains an A* revision and exam-technique approach for AQA A-Level Law, with particular focus on Criminal Law structures, case learning, scenario application, exam technique and repetitive active recall. It covers the author’s progression from As and Bs to an A*, including resource-building, flashcards, blurting, past-paper practice, handling forgotten information and avoiding common mistakes. The guide is based on the author’s experience sitting the May/June 2026 examinations and is presented as a personal revision and exam-technique guide rather than a replacement for the current AQA specification or official assessment materials.
