AS OCR Sociology G671 2012

Hey

Did anyone else take the AS OCR Sociology G671 paper yesterday? If so what did you think of it? I found it okay but not great. My mind went blank on the third question about the media and age identities so I reckon I'll be retaking it in May :/

Hey, i also did that exam yesterday and that was the question I feel i lost the most marks on.. i completely blanked out! However i felt confident with q2 and q4 but i dont think i achieved full marks on q1 although it was so easy :/

Yeah I know what you mean, but I think the main essay question went well.

Thank you, you too :smile:

I actually thought I did the worst on Q1! I defined Values okay I suppose, but my examples were absoloutely appauling! 2 and 3 I think went fine, think I left out some key points in Q4 though! Hopefully I passed either way :smile:

Really? Oh well at least that question is worth the least amount of marks.
I thought question four went quite well but could have wrote more if I'd had more time. Yeah I'm sure you did fine anyway :smile:

So what topic are you studying next?

Yeah thankfully it was only worth 8 marks! So it wouldn't have made a noticeable difference...

Yeah question four went ok for me too, I managed to get down all the main points for V.R.R.G at least anyway! We shall all see in March I suppose! :biggrin:

I'm also re-taking, I got a C (1 mark off a B). I'm going in for a revision session of the pre-release this week during the Easter holiday, but so far I'm not confident with the pre-release so far >_<

Hey,

Really sorry I've only just seen your post! I've not really sure how to structure either question sorry :/

I have a definition of socialisation though - Socialisation is the process of learning the correct behaviour, norms and values of a society. It can either be primary or secondary.

Hope this helps! Good luck for the exam on Thursday :smile:
