Confusing you with someone else. Inbox me your email and I will send u what i have

Send me your email address. Thing is sociology is a very theoretical and discursive subject. Break your notes down into smaller sets of notes...umm mind maps, record yourself speaking about them onto your phone? The thing is A levels are hard work, some more than others.

hi well done on your grade! I was wondering if you could let me know how you revised for AS, doing the same topics as you, and how you organised everything to revise? My exam is in May and i have no idea where to start or how to plan my notes etc :'(

I thought so, AS was good and easy to understand if you are into politics/debating etc and as long as you could argue two theories against each other you are pretty much on course for a good grade! Families and Households I especially liked, really interesting when looking at the population and why there are more single parent families now than the 1950s for example, the reasons for this, and people's/groups' views on this! For example Charles Murray, a New Right theorist, believed it was because of the 'nanny state' which provides benefits and encourages people to give birth out of wedlock etc. as they know they will never not be provided for.



Unfortunately I don't revise through rhymes etc. I just made a grid of the four main views on suicide (Durkheim, Taylor, Atkinson...there's one more but my memory fails me ) And looked at their main points and studies, and literally revised from there and eventually when I thought of one I could see the opposite point in another theorist and I could remember the grid etc.. May not be too helpful but with something so confusing as suicide, I just found getting down and repeatedly copying out the notes of each theorist helped me as it turned into a routine that i couldn't really break haha xx

Hello guys. At the moment i'm currently studying Sociology Family & Household and Education with research methods and i was just wondering how can i revise for my upcoming exams in May. I'm really scared that i'm going to fail as i am not use to answering the questions in such small amount of time. Also, each practice exam that i have done, my score for the 24 and 20 mark essays hasn't improved. I was just wondering, if there was any advice you could give me on the structure of how to answer the essays. I'm currently getting D's/C's on my practice exams. However, i'm scared that i'm going to get a U/E/D grade in the real exam. Please help!
