Edexcel A2 Government & Politics topic 3D and 4D

Hey guys,

so there has been a couple of threads on the route D here, but they are all under the old specification.

Is anyone else taking the Unit 3D exam in January? And if so, what do you use to revise ? (since there is no official textbook, obviously).

Feel free to discuss here anything about your A Level in Politics, too :-)

I'm taking both as a resit student in Jan. The lack of textbook was partly the reason I flopped last year. I'm using a variety of sources to revise
a) class notes (obvs)
b) notes I found on TSR around a year ago from someone who did this (they were in the poiltics forum but don't know if they are there now)
c) notes from the TSR wiki- go and check them out- they have some good stuff on the globalisation argument and the EU amongs other things
d) the markscheme answers for the spec paper and the 2 papers which have been done so far (i had to ask my teacher for these though)
e) the internet for specific examples

remember very few people do Route D (I think because its the hardest one)

This exam is on Monday. I'm soooo scared! I have the ****test teachers and learnt nothing all year. Do you guys think I'd be ok by just learning the chapters on Power, EU, and the UN from the Andrew Heywood textbook??

Sounds to me like you haven't taken much responsibility for your own learning - your teachers don't sit the exam for you!

If you've got the textbook, I guess a weekend of studying key chapters might help, but it's unlikely at this late stage.
