GCSE AQA Sociology Unit 1 exam!

How did everyone's sociology exam go??? I ran out of time and missed the 12marker :frown:((
What did everyone put for 5 mark question on education about how schools encourage social mobility?? I had no clue! i started to write about meritocracy

I also wrote about meritocracy. Should be fine... Fingers Crossed!

Overall I would say that it went well. Finished on time and even had 5 minutes to go. It killed my hand though.
Yess fingers crossed! I couldn't think of anything to write and meritocracy was the first thing that came to mind! Aha

Hopefully unit 2 paper is just as nice!

Also the other 5 mark question on educations about disadvantage pupils what did you write?xx

I feel like an alevel term might pop out of nowhere in the unit 2 paper like anomie last year but then again they could be nice

i was writing about how comprehensive schools offer the same standard of education to all of their students regardless of social class and background, so those who work harder will achieve better grades, be more qualified, have a better job, earn more money and therefore move up the social ladder, nd then i was talking about how marxism suggests that this isnt true and the rich still have an advantage

That can link to meritocracy because meritocracy is the functionalist theory that if you work hard and are talented you can progress up the social ladder which is very similar to what you said except the beginning bit about comprehensive schools.

How was it? I think that I did really well. The funny thing was that I started Power when I should have done Social Inequality. I wasted 4-5 minutes but somehow finished on time.
