Edexcel Government and Politics Unit 3B (6GP03) - 4th June 2013 (all variants)

For 15 markers where it wants to you say "Why an ideology thinks something".. eg "Why do anarchists dislike capitalism"

Can you talk about how some sub sections agree with capitalism or disagree with the statement or do you just agree throughout

Really hoping for a Conservative 15 marker on Tradition and/or Human Imperfection, or an Anarchist 15 marker on Anti-statism

Don't hold your breath, in January they asked "Why do anarchists view the state as inherently evil and oppressive?" for 15 marks and "to what extent do conservatives support tradition and continuity" for 45 marks. I was a bit shocked that was for 45 marks though!

Ahh brilliant, just what I wanted to hear! although they could change the 45 marker into a 15 marker and it doesn't rule out human imperfection either, but I do hear what you're saying. Maybe an Anarchist question on Utopianism/Natural Order or Anti-Clericalism would also suffice

How did u do in January? felt i knew all the stuff and answered it well yet came out with 10/15 in my 15 markers and 20/45 in 45 marker lol

after looknig through my paper still no idea why

Ohh anti-clericalism would be different. I don't think I'd be too fond of that haha.

I've just revised all 4 ideologies, that way I can just stray away from questions I'm not too fond of!

why are people not learning socialism? Since it didn't come up in January it's a sure for a 45 marker right!!

I'm praying for a liberal democracy question though...

I can't quite get my head around socialism, although I'm great at conservatism, so I'm going to attempt conservatism, liberalism and anarchism and just learn the links between socialism and the other ideologies e.g. modern liberalism, collectivist anarchists etc.

Fair enough, I'm not too fond of that idea as there is always one question I am forced into which doesn't take my fancy. Also, it limits your ability to link and evaluate with other ideologies.

Liberal democracy? Is that likely in an A2 paper?

Hello guys,

Should I study all four ideologies for the Unit 3B? (Socialism - Anarchism - Conservatism - Liberalism) or could I skip one as I am starting to study from tomorrow?

And if anyone was kind enough to send me some resources or revision notes that would be amazing!

Thanks

I sat it in January, and my teacher said socialism was too big to revise along with the other ideologies! I did do questions which were like 15 markers on liberalism and socialism or what not, but I did not revise it fully! And use Heywood!!!! If you do not think of what to do on a 45 marker, then look to their views on human nature, society, economy, state for paragraph ideas!!!

How did you do? I got 10/15 in all my 15 markers and 20/45 on the 45 marker. Felt i knew all the stuff + answered well and after getting my paper back, no idea what to do different lol

Try taking a picture of your 45 mark essay and I'll happily take a look

How did you do? I felt i knew all the stuff yet got 10/15 in my 15 markers and somehow a 20/45 in the 45 marker... i got my paper back but still no idea why

I got 95 UMS, which was 70/90 raw marks.

I'll happily look at your essay too
