Edexcel Government and Politics A2 2016 - Unit 3 and Unit 4

Hey how you doing?

Hows revision going? Have you been given any predictions yet?

Hi revision is going okay i think im just struggling on socialism its too broad of a topic , no i haven't have you?

No at all
I wonder if liberalism will be the 45 marker?
I have been told anarchism is likely to come up
Have you got any essay plans for anarchism?

Tbh no i dont just because ive done alot of 15 markers for anarchism as theres alot of past questions on it?
Im banking on conservatism coming up as its the easiest topic for me

A 45 marker on Conservatism would be a godsend, tbh.

I find conservatism hard
How comes everybody seems to find it easy lol?

What do you struggle with?

yeah, I feel ya. I just spent the whole of today wracking my brains around global economic governance (my least favourite topic), and personally I feel like I've covered a lot, but overall, made little progress :'

sometimes you might only need to focus on one main strand - The New Right (neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism), whereas in other cases you would just talk about each strand in order;
1.pre 19th c
2. traditional/toryism
3.one-nation
3.The New Right
in essays questions, for 'to what extent' questions you should match the strands of the ideology that would agree to a large extent and those that would disagree only to a minor extent. For 'dicuss' questions you need to show some strands of the ideology do agree with the statement whereas others disagree. Also remember to be synoptic - i usually sometimes compare conservatism with fascism and contrast with anarchism and liberalism

For 3D 45 markers, I'm prepping myself thoroughly for World Order and EU& regionalism

I predict something either on US hegemony or with factors of power (military/economic/population/geographical location etc) or it could be on multipolarity and anarchy- be prepared for any.

for topic 4, I predict something like...
to what extent is the EU federal?
or
EU exceptionalism (its unique model being able to be implemented in other regional bodies)

I'm more nervous about the 15 markers. I tend to do well in 45 markers, but can never think of 3 fully developed points, always 2 well developed and 1 weak point.
So, for 15 markers, I think for topic 3, they might ask something on the UN, seeing as last year they asked about the IMF and they have already asked about the other economic institutions

Just the structure of the question
Are the main strands to talk about
One nation
Neo liberalism
And neo conservatism

Guys please please please someone help me.
Does anyone have any essay plans?
I'm having panic attacks over these exams so any help would be great
