I am

Did a mock on it the other day, easy as. It'll be a nice easy (non-linear) subject to get out the way I reckon.

Yhh same tbh, I was recommended to buy these books:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Revision-Notes-Government-Politics/dp/1444154877
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-Government-Politics-Student-Guide/dp/144414815X/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BXAH1YD53W997Q9K4DF

They are a good starting point for revision, oh and the edexcel textbook alongside it too.

I did the 2015 Unit 1 paper in class as a mock, and I thought it was great. Haven't looked at Unit 2 yet though.

Same. I would have loved that paper this year :redface:

Unit 2 is quite good too! Quite happy with the 40 mark question. :yep:

Re-sitting this as I got a B last year! One thing I would recommend is to use as up to date and modern examples as possible (nothing pre 2000 - unless to add context) because my teacher said that's what brought my grade down.
Use 2015 election statistics and for electoral systems revision learn examples from the recent 2016 elections for London mayor and Scottish parliament!
