I'm doing democracy in Scotland and the United Kingdom, crime and law and the USA as a world power.
I think voting behaviour will come up for the democracy in Scotland and the UK as voting systems have came up the past two years but idk 😕

Also, is anybody doing the new higher?

I'm doing the new Higher and am doing USA, Health and wealth inequalities and Democracy in Scotland. The section which is worrying me is the democracy one because the questions can be so broad and I am worried something will come up which I have not been taught! Is anyone else feeling like this?

Yes, and local government conflict with Scot gov, how the HOC can scrutinise the Executive, the different electoral systems and how citizens can participate in politics. Is that enough to cover for democracy or? What have you all covered for the USA topic?

We've only done voting systems and voting behaviour for democracy in Scotland...

For the USA we've done checks and balances on government, immigration, inequalities of ethnic minorities and how citizens can participate in the running of their country. You?

That's basically what my class did but I covered the extra stuff because I panicked looking at the specimen papers. I've done all of those topics too actually apart from the participate in running of the country one, what is all in that sort of essay??

Got mixed up, sorry! I meant how do ethnic minorities influence the outcome of elections. Have you done that?

It's ok hahaha! Yes, covered that too! I'm hoping soc and ec inequalities comes up! One of those topics should at least come up, hopefully. My prelim went so well because the questions were perfect, just hoping it's similar for the final exam :s-smilie:

My predictions:

Devolved Decisin Making: conflict/co-operation between councils and government
Health and Wealth: Individulal lifestyle choices and/or poverty
South Africa: Democracy Essay (Dominance of ANC/one party state etc)
Electoral Systems: Voting behaviour (media/social class)

For development in Africa it is bound to be NGO's as it hasn't came up since 2009.

Hi guys,
I'm also really worried about the exam as any question could pop up. Do you think that there is very little chance of a voting systems question and instead it will be voting behaviour for the media/social class? Also what are your predictions for the USA topic, China topic and Health and Wealth in UK topic?
Thanks guys!

I think voting behaviour will make an appearance this year because voting systems have turned up the past two years. However, any one of them can turn up so dont just focus on one. For the USA, i think inequalities/american dream, america's influence on the world or oerhaps checks and balances can turn up. Again, i wouldnt focus on just those as I can be completely wrong :smile:

Thanks a lot, this subject is so stressful right, i mean it could be any question coming up, and you have to revise about twenty essays.
