16th May Citizenship unit 1 Edexcel

So, how did it go for everyone?
I think it went okay, I thought some of the source questions were worded differently from past papers but apart from that it was fine. Also, is anyone doing unit 3 option B on Thursday, and if so any tips on answering the 15/12/8/6 markers? I haven't got a clue.

At least you got onto the essay question, I done newspapers as well! I got stuck a bit though, I didn't really like the points they gave they were hard to expand on. I just hope Thursdays exam goes well, what option are you doing?
IT WAS WELL HARD!!!

Whose doing Option 3C Edexcel on thursday. (MESSAGE ME I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REVISE) I might not even bother revising after the first exam.

I said he could of boycotted because it would of good more attention (or something like that). I said his way of protest was unsuccessful because it would of cause disturbances and might have been arrested - I wasn't sure on that section tbh

does anyone know if you would get marks for when the question asks "state two" but instead you stated more? but they weren't the first two?
