National 5 Modern Studies

I had the same answers to you for KU questions

Literally the same answers? Or similaR? Nice one anyway

How many paragraphs did you need for the selective in the use of facts question ?

Or lets just say all of the source questions ?

My teacher has taught me to do 4 for Selctive, 4 for opinion or 3 and 3 for conclusion

I did 3 for selective in the use of facts.
4 including the what someone against me might say paragraph
3 For the conclusion one.

Is 3 for the selective in the use of facts question correct ?

Literally the same answers? Or similaR? Nice one anyway

How did the exam go guys ? I sat modern studies last year.

I found it ok hopefully I get that A

Yeah I got an A last year, which I was very surprised because I studied the night before the exam and the A mark was at 79% last year.

I thought it went fine but I really struggled with timing and i filled up all of the booklet and then needed two of the extra paper sheets 😂 I finished just as they stopped us

When you finished the exam were there some questions you were unsure about or did you feel you did great ?

I'm just wondering because I want an A but there is one question in particular that I think I may have messed up.

Same lmao in all the writing exams I keep asking for more paper and finsish at the very end. God help me for higher

That was quite straight forward I thought. The options question was a little meh, But overall not bad.

Democracy in the UK:
1) For this I wrote, canvassing door to door and handing out leaflets.
2) For the disadvanatges of FPTP, I only wrote 2 points, But I'm confident they are enough for me to gain full marks. Talked about wasted votes and unrepresented.
3)The selective use of facts wasn't too bad.

Crime in the law:
1) Chose the police, talked about crime prevention, patrolling and attending high profile events like celtic vs rangers or the manchester derby.
2) Talked about how crimes like rape can have an impact psychologically and how assault can have a physical impact.
3) Up to this point, I had all the time in the world, However The option question for me killed a lot of time, and I found it quite hard to process the information.

USA:
1) The right to vote, the right to join a political party
2) Political influence of america and economic influence.
3) First conclusion - Japan is a safe place.
Second conclusion - Due to the increase in the elderly population, less young people have houses.
Third conclusion - South Korea is the country that is similar.

it was advantages of AMS, not disadvantages

Yeah I remember last year in my Modies exam i had to ask for more paper, I was writing so quickly and just finished 5 minutes before the exam finished.

Wondering if anyone can answer this, I finished the exam rather early so I went through it and added extra paragraphs so when it asked for 2 I gave 3 thinking that I'm reassuring myself marks but I've just been told I will have marks taken off me for this, is this true?

No, whoever said you lose marks is wrong. Click on the link and go to the last page for all the info but what happens is they just mark your best 2
