How did people find this paper? I thought the paper would be difficult but it was easy.

That's good. Do you remember the two mark questions for mass media and social inequality?

i dont know about social inequality but the mass media one was 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage of young people using social media more...
I never remember the questions after the exam lol . I couldn't even tell which topic was more difficult because i didn't exactly go in order.
ohmygod i answered the first question about which ethnicity was more likely to commit crime the moment the invigilator told us to stop writing ..i could've easily lost 1 mark :frown:

Found unit 1 alright but unit 2 quite hard! The 12 marker on unit one about marriage still being important threw me! In unit 2 I basically guessed all of the 12 markers - anyone else recycle copycat violence and desensitisation for 2 consecutive questions??? The one and two markers also seemed really hard this year? I also was shorter on time than usual - anybody else?

The 12 markers were alright you know. It could have been a lot worse. Yeah some of the one and two markers were a bit difficult too

i thought paper 1 was a piece of p** but paper 2 was hard, i admit. i recycled most of my answers for the 12 markers and just did loads of reasons for both sides so hopefully i will do okay. i don't think that paper will make the grade boundaries any lower though, my teacher thought it was a decent paper and she's usually a good judge of those kinda things.

good luck to everyone anyway :smile:

I found the 2 marker about what makes a democratic society quite hard

The 2 marker was how do we measure crime right ? Victim surveys self report studies
