I think I will be doing the same

Making notes in condensed form is the only way I know how to revise tbh

Eh.....?
It was just a natural frustration that I poster on here....

Is there a rule that everything you post has to be helpful.....

What a bizarre post.:confused:
Does anyone know how to include current examples into our essays?

And could someone post an example so I properly understand? Like the food banks thing (I'm a bit slow). My teachers (had 3 for politics) never taught me how to do this!

sorry i quoted the wrong post :')
Hey guys, i'm doing four subjects and I have to drop Politics next year because my teacher is retiring.

My Politics exams are after the half term whereas all of my other exams are finished by the 20th. So I will have 11 days to concentrate on Politics.

I'm not sure whether to revise more for the other subjects at the moment or revise them all equally?

What's your advice? and what would you do in this situation?

You have to drop it because your teacher is retiring? Is that even legal? I didnt know they could do that!

we were informed at the beginning of the year that this subject would only be for AS because the college can't find a Government and Politics teacher in time for A2. I didn't think I would enjoy Politics as much as my other subjects (Lit, History, Psychology). I'd much rather drop literature though! Can you give any advice on my question?
I'm planning to revise only 3 topics for unit 1 (skipping political parties)

But for unit 2 I don't see any way to not revise all 4?
Say you revise 3, and 2 of those come up in the sources section - then you are forced to do the 40mark question on the topic you have left, even if the question is naff?

Yeah there's too much to remember and they are all really similar nowadays anyway.

I'm really dreading these exams, I've been doing well in class - getting high scores and such but time conditions and the fact that everything is from memory really puts me off!
