What did everyone do? I did elections and parties, by far the two best questions


I did elections and literally had to ask for more paper because I wrote so much for the 25 marker!!! Also I did democracy but struggled so much with the EU question!
this is not aqa right

That question was hell and not what we predicted 😂 I wrote about devolution as more reflective, however turnout is low. EU has party list = proportional, but then it's unelected unnaccountable. Then I said Devo and EU are bureocratic messes & constitutional crisis (west Lothian question), but referendum will allow more effective representative democracy...

Where was the direct democracy I wanted 😢😢

Ahh yeah I wrote about the west Lothian question too!!
I was half right about representative democracy come up in some form 😂I know they could have made it much easier...but as its a new question I think they'll be more likely to be nice?

I doubt it lol I bet we destroyed that question after all...they might be generous with the marks as its a new question as well 😁

Is there an unoffical mark scheme? Or can someone predict one? (Grade boundaries included?)

Yeah that's true and since it was 'to what extent' you only need 4 main points and for it to be balanced so not bad

Yeah exactly if you've got that you've practically got it in the bag, what other section did you do?

I did elections, saw assess advantages of them...I got inside happiness from destroying FPTP, what about you?
I didn't do a conclusion on my final essay in the exam and I'm kicking myself but I misjudged the timing, how many marks do you think that would cost me? 6?
