Any one??????????


I don't see anything wrong with that but i focused more on factors within the school like labelling and sub cultures and for against i talked about home factors like language and material deprivation

Unit 2 if anything should be ok considering that this year's exam wasn't that hard tbh.


You never know. There might be a plot twist.

Would I lose marks for speaking about gender and ethnicity ?

Would I lose marks for mentioning gender and ethnicity hence it did mention social class?

Guys you know for the five mark about previous policies that helped people to stay in educational achievement would i get any marks for talking about EMAs helping materially and financially deprived children ??? I mentioned that it wasn't successful because people may have spent it on things other than stationary and stuff for school - at this point in the exam my mind was drained so i chatted nonsense but is this a valid point

I talked about labelling and material deprivation as well :biggrin: Labelling is literally the best thing i can write about to gain me lots of marks because it's really easy to remember. Also material deprivation is simple.

No because that is the other side of the argument and to get full marks , you have to do two points agreeing and two points disagreeing or 3 for one side, 1 on the other (4 points in total)

I wouldnt think so, in my conclusion I said "and some sociologists would say gender, ethnicity and social class are significant factors..."

I think as a whole the exam was easy.
But I'm still beating myself up about the things I got wrong. Like the Social Mobility question; idk how I forgot about meritocracy. Instead I made up a whole load of bull about how scholarships can encourage social mobility in schools. That's 5 marks gone. Then I also kinda messed up on the families 12 markers about socialisation. Shouldve chosen the other one. Oh well, still got thursdays exam...
