I got an A in this and didnt go to a lesson for 10 months, yet all my friends who went to every lesson for EMA purposes, get U's.
Revising is pointless for general studies, it will be on something current in the news, or something completely random that is common sense. Its easy! And completely pointless! Dont waste your time on it! :biggrin:

Anyone got any tips? Not sure about you, but my
school didn't do lessons for this subject

You're not the only one. I have no idea what to expect tomorrow, and frankly I'm quite happy to remain ignorant until the very last minute.

It's probably going to be on politics and whether you think 16 years should be able to vote and also on reforming the system, I mean, elections are every 5 years or something.
so if you got 10 mins just research arguments for and against 16 year olds being able to vote, do a quick search on politics etc. bring in examples.
GS is a piece of piss. You're doing A levels so you should at least get 27/30 on the multiple choice questions, that'll get you a D all on it's own, and those 3 marks will only be lost on something silly.
Just remember they're not trying to trick you - there wont be trick questions. Simples.
GS is silly, I don't even mention it when people ask what A levels I do because it's just so lol.

A friend of a friend apparently wrote his AS Level General Studies exam all in German and still got 17 UMS marks. Just thought I'd share!

Is your friend on tsr so i can rep him, or shall i just give it to you to pass on?

Just checked the syllabus out of pure curiosity.

It's less of a specification and more guidelines to what teachers should teach.
Not followed greatly in my school, the only lesson I can remember was watching Spiderman and designing our own superheroes...

You can watch the news from about 18 months ago (when the papers were written) and remember what an opinion is. After that you should be good to go :yy:

I didn't think so... nor would I think it would be worth anyones time to do so. I just turned up to the exams and wrote got A's on the essay paper, D's on the science.
