Oh right! Sorry :frown:

you would take 4 of those policies, a paragraph for each one, describe what they are and then evaluate them.

The worst part is that they can specify which year the policies should be since, which narrows it down which makes it more difficult

Just remember guys you can leave a whole 20 mark essay and still get an A given that your answers to tthe previous questions are really good. I believe its around 60something out of 90 for an A

The exam was ok but didn't really expect official statistics to come up as it came last year also you know the 12mark question about the government policies on social groups, some of us misread it as social class and talked about social classes and sociologists on that, will we lose much marks not including other social factors? How about you, how did you find it?

Can someone help me...The answer paper which we were suppose to write on your suppose to write the question number then yiur answer..i wrote the wrong answer it was like 2 paragraphs (misread the question) so i crossed it out and crossed out the number to the question but instructions said if you write the wrong number fill in the box then write your answer in the box below it..I filled in the box with black ink and wrote my answer on the other page... with the correct question number this time. will this still scan my answer?

If I only wrote about social class on the 24 marker does this mean I won't get the marks? I'm really worried :frown:

Just emailed my teacher and she said we might lose a few marks for not mentioning ethnicity or gender but we won't have any taken away either x

Was the 12 markers definitely on Social Groups? Please say yes because everyone is saying it was social class but I spoke about ethnicity, stupidly :frown:
