It would be impossible for us to know without telling us your UMS marks exactly.

I believe my UMS marks were 86/85 (these come from my results paper if that's where they're found)

You would simply need 75 UMS points in each paper to get an A. Or the total UMS points to equal 149... I'm 80% certain

I'm not "naturally clever" at all!
Yes, although not as much as this unit.
I found learning the books provided was the best method for me

Although there is a natural inequality between all of us in intelligence terms. We all have an equal standing at success in this exam. It all simply depends on how much work you put in, and how willing you are to delve deeper into the subject. Intelligence may help you grasp a theory or concept better but if you are willing to work hard, you can do far better than a person of greater intelligent than yourself.

I very much agree!
As long as you put in work there is no reason why anyone can't get a decent grade. Although even then there are some variables that are out of your control, such as stress that day (I personally have two exams on the days I have politics), what questions etc.

Just a side note is everyone only concentrating on three topics? I think I'm concerntrating on all four for unit 3 but 3 for unit 4

Reply 108

Yup solely going to concentrate on 3 for both units, but I will revise fairly easy sections of the ideology I won't solely concentrate on.

Reply 109

That's what im thinking of doing too, as conservative 15 markers I feel confident about but socialism 45 markets I find much easier (if that makes sense)
Which ones are you concerntrating on?

Reply 110

Unit 3 I'm concentrating on all besides conservatism and unit 4, all except for multiculturism

Do you guys find ecologism easy compared to multiculturalism? Is there a particular reason why?

Can any of you guys help with the 15 markers, exam technique?

How do you tackle the question?

You still using the Heywood book as the main source of revision?

Currently I'm using the Neil McNaughton book as the main source with the Daniel Woodley book (Political Ideologies) if the main one has something missing in it.

Dang my teacher told us we only needed the Heywood book...
She is so rubbish but she never mentioned McNaughton....

Is the Heywood book sufficient?
