I feel exactly the same, i've been revising for hours and seem to get nothing in, it really ruins my entire mood i def didnt feel like this last year or any year for any exam, it's so difficult


I agree! It's so hard! Last year I had a method of how to answer and deal with questions and I was so prepared and confident, this year it's the complete opposite. I can already picture the bad grade I'm going to get for this when I open my results.

I'm struggling all round tbh, today I woke up at 9 and started revision and literally got NOTHING done, no improvements at all. I've been trying different techniques to learn it all but nothing works I've just been in a upset mood all day and gave up at around 11pm I've learnt the content but applying it to questions it what baffles me.

I have such a bad feeling for these exams, I did not feel like this at all during last years.

Up until now I was intending on learning all four, but today I realised its going to be too much for me. So for unit 3 I'm doing anarchism, liberalism and I'm stuck between conservatism and socialism. For unit 4 I chose nationalism, feminism and multi cultiralism.

What are you learning.


Doing the same

missing out sociliasm too much to learn and content

I find unit 3 okay....
You know for the question....is conservatism a ruling class ideology.....

Would you bring up to date examples like the universal tax credit and disabled cuts by the Tory party?
Does anyone have any examples for pressure groups they are willing to share.

I got a B overall and was just a few marks off an A so I'm resitting unit 1 on the 6th I haven't done any revision for it since my entire time is going on unit 3 and 4. I really don't want to fail.

Okay so I think what everyone needs are some good essay plans to the possible questions we can be asked.
We didn't really do any apart from one socialism one which I am gonna tidy up and then I'll post it on here but anyone else got any good essay plans? Or any advice on what they are looking for to get the top grades?

Will post them as soon as they are worthy I promise.
I think for the 15 markers we can get away with learning what's on the mark scheme as it's just straight up knowledge with no analysis. I am gathering all the past questions asked so everyone knows what has/can come up
It's the 45 markers in m struggling with be use the mark scheme gives very little in them.
