For the 2015 exams crime and deviance was on 1) Marxist theories to our understanding of crime and law enforcement, and 2) why some groups are more likely to be victims than others

How do you know how many UCAS points in total you'd need for an A/A*? I got an A for AS in sociology.

I'm aiming for AAB in Soc, English Lit & History respectively.

164 points for Sociology (A in both units)

152 points for English (B in exam, B in coursework) (how much remaining UCAS points will I need for an A, including this years coursework?

Please help.

Use this tool

You'll be able to find out exactly how many marks you'll need to gain overall to get the grade you're hoping for.

All you need to do is enter what you got in paper 1 (in the unit 1 box) and paper 2 (in the unit 2 box) and it'll show you a grid and will explain why or why not you will or will not be able to achieve an A*.

Hope this helps :smile:

I didn't take the paper but our teacher told us what came up since we're studying it. We haven't been told anything about beliefs in society yet since we haven't started it haha.

2015 crime and deviance questions:

21 markers
1) Marxist theories to our understanding of crime and law enforcement
2) why some groups are more likely to be victims than others

I've forgotten the 15 marker and 33 marker since I left my folder at school :emo:

I'll try and update you in the next few days.

Just don't fool yourself into attempting to learn all of the sociologists' names because you'll only be using 3-5 in the actual exam. If you can easily remember 3-5, then you can gradually learn more but it's not compulsory.

My teacher made us learn all of research methods in context on our own :emo:

rip

By the way, have you had your sociology mock exam yet? We had ours yesterday and..crime and deviance was something else: we got tested on the right and left realists and crime between ethnic groups, but the research method and 33 marker (about feminism) was glorious :yep:

Yeah! It was these questions:
1) Identify and briefly explain three ways in which science may have more influence than religion on social life today. (9marks)2) Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess the view that religion is 'the opium of the people'. (18marks)3) 'Religion is now about consumerism, where spiritual shoppers look in the spiritual marketplace for a product that suits their lifestyle'. (33marks)or4) Critically examine the reasons why people join sects and New Age movements. (33marks)
