I went over class differences in achievement - external factors, so things like language, parents education and working class subculture.

But won't the Qu be like compare external with internal or what's more important
They don't ever choose just 1

ethnicity was last year so i'd say gender is more likely, well I hope so!


Hate Ethniticty
Don't want it to come up
Nor do I want Marxism lol
Research in methods is like really just common sense isn't it?

research methods are not too bad, just think of PERVERT

P - practical
E - ethical
R - reliable
V - validity
E - example
R - representative
T - theoretical

hope that helps!

they haven't come up for a long time and I find that interviews and questionnaires are easier
Hi :smile:

I've found some really useful videos and I'll link them too the topics.
Really sums it up good and asks you questions, which helps me because I forget things so easily!
They may not be useful but I think they've helped to make basic revision notes and flashcards; as well as be able to structure my essays a bit more efficiently - especially the MIC essay!

** She also has videos on Crime & Deviance which may be handy to look at after this exam :smile:**

Hope they are somewhat useful!

it came up in 2014 as a 12 mark so it could come up but gender hasn't come up since 2013 so maybe that's more likely

I would be kinda glad if that did come up lol
What about methods
My Sociology teacher predicted most of the topics mentioned ^ as well as vocational education. He gave me a textbook scan which summarises it but I don't know what type of question they would ask regarding vocational education
