OCR sociology g673 + g674

Does anyone know if it's possible for Thursday's exam that they could ask a 20 mark question on one factor (e.g. class) followed by a 40 mark question for a different factor (e.g. age)? I know you get an option between two questions but I'm talking about the same question (hope that makes sense).

Also, I've just come across a question "Outlineand assess functionalist explanations of social inequality." - Since the 20 mark question was just on class, would this 40 mark question just be on class? It sounds rather vague.

Thanks.

Did anyone do the education questions?

Yes! I did the Functionalism one and the Policy one! Although I wasn't even planning to go near policy.
What about you?

What came up last year on g674-education????

15 marker respondent- validation within sociological research
25 marker- knowledge and understanding of focus group interviews
20 markers- class inequality is functional for society
-males and females continue to be unequal in the UK
40 markers- gender is the most important form of social inequality
-class inequality exists in the UK

Thank u so much for this. Do u know the other two questions that came up too as an option?

Yes! I did the Functionalism one and the Policy one! Although I wasn't even planning to go near policy.
What about you?

What policies did u include for the policy question

The Education Reform Act
Sure start
Bursaries etc

I didn't know many at all! I didn't plan on even answering a policy question

Oh I didn't add education reform act...I'm so stupid I thought it wasn't relevant. I added in quite a few but only wrote about 2 sentences for each and then started to talk about chubb and moe and New Right even though I think it's wrong...I just needed something to fill the lines lol

On to the next one! Here's 2015 G674 paper for those interested. If you guys let me know about what your/your teachers predictions are, i can do a prediction list for G674 too.

Okay so from looking at past paper questions + my *****y teacher's predictions + predictions from this thread, for G673 the topics that may come up, ranging from most likely to least are;

- Age and Crime (has never come up)
- Ethnicity and Crime
- Policies for solving crime
- Self - report studies
- Class and Crime (links with marxism)
- Official Statistics
- Subculturalist explanations of crime
- Victim Surveys
- Functionalist explanations of crime (god i hope not)

Ones i'm not sure about;
- Police and courts construction of crime
- Victimization
- Location and Crime
- Feminist solutions to crime???

If you guys have any suggestions and modification let me know! I think i should do one for G674 too.
