Predictions for Unit 2 Education on Tuesday 24th May 2016?

I got an A in the families paper last year, and a C in the education paper so need to boost my grade in this second paper.

I'm guessing government education policies won't come up as the 20 mark essay as it came up last year.

What have your teachers been saying?

What have yours been saying?
I really really don't want demography to come up
a question on family diversity hasn't come up since jan 2013, so it could also come up

Is anyone doing SCLY1 culture and identity, and SCLY2 education as re-sits so old specification???


I'm retaking culture and identity, I think leisure and consumption, the different perspectives functionalist, Marxist, feminist. Go through socialisation - they could also ask the role of culture in society today.

Do the AS exams from the new 2015 AQA specification actually count towards your overall A-Level grade?

No but this result is what goes on your UCAS form. This will be the result that your chosen university will look at. So it is important to try your best at these exams.

Have any of you started making revision notes? I feel like my notes are too long. For example, for theories of education, I have a three page word document of the entire thing but I do feel like that is quite a lot.

Are you sure? Our predicted grades go on UCAS, teachers will use these in contribution but our efforts throughout the year will also count, most people dont do as well in AS as they hope.
Guyssss, I'm currently stuck on this Q, how would u answer this? There's just not enough information to answer it in my opinion - (I'm doing the old spec, AS unit 1 family)

Examine the effects of migration on family diversity within the UK (24)

Thisss
I'm doing the old spec but i can't see how this can be a 24 marker
The section is so small. I really hope demography doesn't come up.

Seriously I'm gonna fail if that comes up

How would you answer that question?
Should really have done well in last years paper cos that was kinda an easy paper

I have a feeling feminism will come up but I'm praying demography doesnt. It came up in June 2014 right...they could be nasty and repeat though

I honestly have no idea on how that question needs to be answered, I'm kinda stressing over it as a girl on student room predicted migration as one of the possible topics that could be coming up....
I basically flopped my AS sociology from 2014 but daftly carried on without resitting them and got good grades for A2 but my AS grades pulled my overall grade down...
