    How to get an A in General Studies A2 exams???
    To do law LLB at uni of Liverpool or Sheffield uni they accept an A in General studies.

    The AO's are very vague so please redefine them for me, I'd really appreciate it!
    The AO's for AQA General studies A2 are:

    AO1 Demonstrate relevant knowledge and understanding applied to a range of issues, using skills from different disciplines.

    AO2 Marshal evidence and draw conclusions: select, interpret, evaluate and integrate information, data, concepts and opinions.

    AO3 Demonstrate understanding of different types of knowledge, appreciating their strengths and limitations.

    AO4 Communicate clearly and accurately in a concise, logical and relevant way.


    I really want an A to get the stress of my back, please helpppp.

    AO1 wants to make sure you've revised whatever is in the textbook.

    AO2 wants you to compare information in a reasoned and logical way to sustain an argument.

    AO4 is just saying to use correct spelling, punctuation and grammar, with clear paragraphs and a clear structure throughout the whole paper.
