Don't know which exam board i'm with! Only revising constitution, parliament and PM & executive. Our teacher didn't teach us judiciary.

Anyone know what came up in Jan and what is likely to come up?

I think i'm pretty screwed.

I'm with you on this, I don't like the way the questions are phrased. I often know the stuff, but don't know what they're asking for, if that makes sense?

I've found it useful to look at the past papers and then look at the mark schemes, because they tell you exactly what they're looking for, so it gives you an idea of how the examiners are thinking.

What I've noticed is that for questions b and c, they're looking for an understanding of the institutions, theories and people involved and then your arguments or explanation (whatever they ask for). Also, think of the relevant keywords and get those in there.

I know what you mean, and sometimes I've found the mark schemes ask you for something that you wouldn't even normally think to include or think is relevent, alot of 'thinking outside the box' (aha) is required i'd say.
and I agree with you on the b and c questions.

Guysss, here's something that may be useful..

For the past two papers the Judiciary has been coming up as a 40 mark question and the cabinet as a source question; so for tomorrow's paper I think it's highly likely that the Judiciary will be a source and the cabinet a 40 marker.. The constitution, however, could come up on either..

Didn't check for Parliament because I'm not revising that topic (:

This is only relevant to those doing Edexcel btw

Im going to spend time until 3 memorising everything ive made notes on etc
Then from 3 to 6 im going to attempt to learn from scratch judicary as i have only revised two topics
Do you think 3 hours is enough time?

I presume you're doing Edexcel? I'm doing AQA but my notes on the Judiciary might be of some use to you.

i think 3 hours is fine.....but i would recommend Pm and cabinet and not judiciary because its completly different...but if u start reading PM its relevant to parliament and some of the stuff u knw already also its easier and much shorter good luck
