The exam question papers are provided as an indication as to the likely questions which may be asked and to assist the candidate when studying. Answers are not provided.

Prior to 2012 the European Union Law exam question paper was set in two parts with candidates being required to answer two questions from Section A and two questions from Section B.

A mock paper has been set in two sections with candidates being required to answer a total of 4 questions (as before).

From May 2012 question 1 from each section is compulsory and candidates will be required to answer two further questions from anywhere in the paper.

This took effect in May 2012.
