Basically. I have my General Studies exam on the 10th and if I don't get a C in it, I can't get into the Uni I want to.. they're counting it for UCAS points as I failed my History last year. Anyway, I'm so confused.. how do I revise? I have the Edexcel book but if I don't get an E in the AS, I can't do the A2. I'm so worried you guys

I got a D in without doing anything, at AS so if you do little revision you should get a c

Thanks.
Just, I'm worried like the big main question will be politics, because I am so bad at that and as much as I try to understand.. it confuses me even more.
Apperently people get an A on one paper and a U on the other?!

I suppose I had an advantage for the politics one as I do politics a level, but I don't know about the A and U

I didn't have any lessons but I got 100% in all of them. Download the syllabus and then google the areas to each topic and find relevant news articles. Condense them into like 4 lines that you can remember. I watched a BBC documentary on Matisse and I learnt about the influence he has had on society, such as Miffy and the 2012 Olympics sign and bringing colour into our fashion. Just learn some facts, or think about how someone else would say. The bottom line is, is that these examiners aren't google and they aren't immortal, so if what you put is inaccurate but it sort of specialist, like the ideas of a philosopher, and it's not that obvious it's wrong stick it in. I hope your exam goes well!

Pour over the past papers too! They tell you exactly how many points to make and you can pick out patterns, like if they are looking for opposite opinions or supporting ones.

No but past papers I looked at had quite a bit of politics in them, I think it depends on the paper so could have a bit of politics, a lot of politics or maybe even no politics
