A2 SCLY4 Crime and Deviance Sociology Exam June 2014

It was the one I was least confident on, but still managed to do it well I think...ended up with an A*, so we both did well! :smile:

That's great!!

Yeah, it was easy! Definitely got lucky though...there were some things I hadn't revised thoroughly, but they, luckily, weren't on the paper

Wow last years paper was amazing.....wish i did it last year!

When did you start revising btw?

Religion paper was fine as well, I got over 90% on both. They were both pretty nice papers tbh! Doesn't mean yours wont be equally as good this year :smile:

Also how did you revise? Flash cards?

I had been revising over the year and then really got stuck down revising over Easter and then until the exams finished.

Yeah the beliefs in society exam was a great one too! Basically just back up any point you make with a sociological surrounding that is relevant and it will get you marks.

As for methods I used flash cards to learn them :smile:

Um basically just picked a strength or weakness of the method and said how it would be a strength or weakness for that context. If you don't link the context then you don't get many marks! I did psychology aswell so just kind of knew them already, but I imagine flash cards are good!

Really miss sociology after reading this haha. I highly recommend not skipping out revising some of the things you learnt in AS, as last years exam the final question was about feminist views (unless the course content has changed). The Rob Webb and Keith Trobe revision books are really good also :smile:

I've always had trouble with structuring my essays. What is the most effective way to structure a 21 and 33 marker essay? Roughly how many paragraphs?
