Edexcel A2 Government and Politics (U.S. options)

Original post by Olympiad

Hey!
Does anybody by any chance have a document with every past question along with their mark scheme? (for Unit 4) would be very useful!

If not, maybe we could team up and make one? By doing a few papers each? It would take ages if one person did them all!

It really would not take long at all.... You literally just copy and paste a few questions from like 5 papers.

I did it last year and took me ages, there more than 5 papers! And lots of questions on each paper.

Edit: also, because the mark schemes are in PDF format, you can't copy and paste. You have to screenshot and crop.

I have literally done that with both unit 3 and unit 4 and it did not take me long at all.

There's 9 papers, 8 questions each = 72 questions in total.

That would take at least an hour.

Fair enough it didn't take you very long, but from previous experience I know it will take me ages, sorry not everybody is as fast and perfect as you Domante.

I posted this to ask if anybody can help me / share their document - no point on saying you made one just for the sake of it and then refusing to share.

to all those who are wondering...yes it is possible to do last minute revision, (ie. begin revision 3 days before the exam) and get an A. I did it but I only learned to 2 topics for unit 4c... not something i would advise because if the topic doesnt come up then you are screwed. anyway, good luck people and dont get too stressed!

Omg guys I feel your pain. Revising 3c right now and I'm so scared. So much to remember. And to the person that posted about the U.S. Smoke filled room blog either on this thread or the other one, God bless you. I've been using it to revise all day and it's been so helpful

Glad to hear it's helping people. I'll be uploading some more content tonight on the site, probably something to do with whether or not Obama's administration has failed at immigration reform and some stuff for 4C like to what extent is Congress the broken branch of government, etc. I'm trying my best to add something new to the site every day.

That's so helpful. Thank you. It will be so helpful for 4c cos I haven't done much on it yet as the exam is later. Btw what did you get for Politics if you don't mind me asking? :smile:

Do you think revising 3/4 topics would be okay? Thanks btw haha at least there is some sort of hope left for us procrastinators!

Anyone got any ideas on what a party 45 could be? I was thinking maybe something to do with party decline/renewal? Hasn't come up since June 2011...

Yeah that's exactly what I think would come up for a 45.

In the course workbook they've got 'To what extent is it true that there has been a resurgence in the importance of us parties in recent years?' as a 45 mark. They've asked most of the questions in the work book at some point aside from this one so I think it could be fairly likely :smile:
