Well you need to get started on your notes
Revise them as you along
Eg when youve covered one topic go over it and do past papers on it
That should help
And keep regularly going over your notes rewrite them and do mind maps stick them on your wall

Yeah Ive started my revision now, im doing mindmaps and then all the topics that link into that main topic if that makes sense..Like parents and children then i draw arrows off to loneparent families, reconstituted families ect with all the info about them. How do you get the high grades?

That sounds good!!!
I did note cards and just past papers the more you do the better
Also getting a good revision guide is useful
Try the " succeed at as sociology" type it into amazon it's an amazing book

This is the easiest sociology exam you'll ever take, so make it count!
I find condensing information from the text book and putting onto a powerpoint helps me :smile:

Why don't you revise one topic then do past questions on it
? That way you'll have time for both

Putting it into a powerpoint just makes them more easily read and I don't really like mindmaps :P

Anyone know the grade boundaries for this exam?

Looking at past papers, I see them to rougly be:

45 - A
40 - B
35 - C

If anyone could confirm this, it would be great!
