Edexcel 6GP03 and 6GP04 Gov and Politics Unit 3 Exam 14/06/16 & Unit 4 Exam 16/06/16

Hey everyone!

Haven't seen an official thread for the unit 3 and 4 politics exam for Edexcel, so might as well start it now! I know its a bit early but as they say, its never too early to revise!

So I thought this would be a good place for any questions, tips or example/articles throughout the year.

Hi, what I'm not sure about is do we get a choice of papers paper 3a or 3b or 3c when it comes to unit 3.... or does each exam centre only do 1 paper and there is no choice, if you want to do a different paper (3a instead of 3b) you have to go to a different exam centre?

I hope what I'm writing make sense haha :smile:

If your tutor decides to teach options within units that absolutely fry your mind there is nothing to stop you from self teaching an option within a unit in your own time. I did this years ago in AS level RE where I got a B and I feel it served me well.

Edit: I'm saying this particularly with regards to choosing to study for options within units where better resources are available. Eg valid and up to date revision notes on the Internet.
