Edexcel Govt and Politics Unit 1 and 2?

Omg thanks
It seems your on course for an A!
I think constitution will be the 45 marker and there is only so many questions they can ask....?

Thanks you're too kind

I would breathe a sigh of relief if the Constitution was the 40 marker! It is definitely the most interesting topic in Unit 2 and therefore easier to learn. But even so most of the examples I listed can be used in all topics particularly the judiciary.

I know it's not a question directed at me but...

Personally I'm doing Parliament, Constitution and Judiciary.

I'd rather learn three topics really well rather than four topics adequately.

Find judiciary hard
Gonna do PM instead

It's a bit difficult at first, yes, but once you get the hang of it it's very easy actually. Lots of modern examples to use, and links very well to the Constitution topic.

I found PM and Cabinet more complicated, for EdExcel it is IMO the bulkiest of all units.

hmm maybe
what about parliament?

Are you learning all 4 topics?

I hate unit 2 as well
Hate parliament and PM

Yeah you are right. Usually its about 70% for an A, so hopefully it wont go above that.

What do people not understand about it being one point I wrote...

I needed clarification for one point, which in the end was right and I got full marks in my essay

But yeah you have to remember there's no right or wrong answers, excluding facts. Some people, including my teacher, feel judicial independence only appears present on the surface but there are things that undermine it.

There are many holes in your argument. JAC appointments can be vetoed by government, politicians are interfering with the removal of judges, the BoE is controlled by the government and the SC being in separate building does not increase independence. It was merely a symbolic move.

Admittedly I am being picky, but in my opinion judicial independence is such an important concept to the judicial system, you cannot claim it has been achieved or even been improved when there are many flaws.

Is anyone retaking Unit 1; Democracy + Pressure groups??

What do you guys think will come up this year? It's so hard to predict!

I want to find out too!

I've noticed that if you manage to make practice answers for every 25 marker then you're sorted for the 10 markers too!

My prediction is probably ways to strengthen participation or referendums possibly?

I dont know though, do tell me what you predict!

Referendums for democracy, I'm 90 per cent sure

Hasn't been a referendums question in some time + EU referendum means it is a good time, even if they plan out the questions in advance the Tories made it known it would be 2016/2017

So what....for and against?

well, you can't predict that

plan for all possible command words

what else can they possibly ask apart from that or direct democracy ?

For 25 markers right its 2 for and 2 against and then conclusion? Only 25 mins so that seems logical right?
