Edexcel 6GP01 Government and Politics Unit 1 Exam 20/05/2014

Hi TSR,

Haven't seen an official thread for this exam yet so thought that I would start one. Are you guys feeling confident?

Any predictions on what may come up?

Well, only revising two topics out of the four just so you have better knowledge. My favourites are democracy and pressure groups.

Doing this too, last year's paper was so good! Honestly you can't get a better paper like that, and now it's highly unlikely that the questions will be just as good. I have this gut feeling they're gonna be mean

Thanks!!
My 3 are Elections, Parties and Pressure Groups, the questions on Democracy normally throw me out… but on the mocks I got 77/80 and 76/80 so I think I'm ready

I'm doing democracy and elections. I had pressure groups as my back up, but I did past exam qs and gave them to my teacher to mark and I kept getting low marks so I'm just abandoning that whole topic and focusing on 2.
Parties + elections, democracy as back up. What questions do you think will come up?
