AQA A Level Law Paper 2 2025 Mark Scheme

Get the official AQA A-Level Law Paper 2 mark scheme for the June 2025 series (7162/2) — the final v1.0 examiner-approved document used to award all 100 marks in this paper .

This mark scheme provides full answers and examiner guidance for every section of the paper. *Page 4* lists all correct multiple-choice answers (e.g. Q1 = D, Q2 = C, Q3 = D), while *pages 5–8* show indicative content and band descriptors for short and medium questions such as law reform (codification, consolidation, repeal) and pure economic loss.

For extended responses, *pages 11–16* provide detailed Level of Response marking criteria for 30-mark questions, including negligence (duty, breach, causation, contributory negligence, psychiatric harm) and nuisance/Rylands v Fletcher with injunction analysis. The *Assessment Objectives grid on page 17* clearly shows how marks are distributed (AO1 = 40, AO2 = 27, AO3 = 33), helping students understand how to maximise marks across knowledge, application, and evaluation.

Use this mark scheme to assess your answers accurately, understand how examiners award marks, and learn how to structure top-band responses. Pair it with the June 2025 question paper for full exam practice. Updated for the 2025/2026 academic year and fully optimised for revision.

This mark scheme is essential for A-Level Law students preparing for the 2026 exam series, including Year 13 candidates, retake students aiming for A/A*, and independent learners studying tort law and legal system topics.

It is also highly valuable for teachers, tutors, and revision providers delivering AQA 7162, enabling accurate marking, grade standardisation, and clear understanding of Level of Response criteria. Students targeting top university law programmes will benefit from mastering examiner expectations and high-level evaluation.
