Edexcel Government &amp; Politics - Unit 1 06/06/16

Original post by xxvine

I thought I would start an official thread since the exam is approaching....

How is revision going guys...and how many topics are you learning?

heya. i studied unit 1.1 democracy and 1.4 pressure groups (i wonder if its safe to study just two units for unit 1) and all units for unit 2. im also doing the american topic for A2. im on the fast track A levels if that makes any sense to you.

Thats a lot of work lol...hows it all going? Have you got all your revision done.

I would advise learning 3 for Unit 1 incase the question is really horrible!

anyone else disappointed with the course? perhaps it's just how i am being taught but I was really looking forward to this subject last year. Find it difficult to motivate myself to revise, anyone else have that issue?

you need to have interest to get yourself started on the topics in govt and politics. if you don't possess the drive then you can do good if you have really excellent notes from someone so all you gotta do is just memorize the content and replicate it in the exams.
