I still havent finished unit 4 notes, it is such a big topic! I don't think unit 1 looks too bad, hopefully it'll be okay :smile:

I am, and revision hasn't been going too badly. Can someone give me some ideas of the things I must know, and which Sociologists I must know?

marxism and family diversity was the 2 essay question in january 2011
june 2009 - gender role and relationship and changes in birth rate, family size
january 2009 2 essay question was on childhood and nuclear family

what came on in the resit in june 2010 for families and household

and what do people think is the most likely topics to come on in the exam for january 2011

something about death rates came up in june 2010 - was awful
but can't remember the other one

any predictions for this year?
i'm thinking childhood as it hasn't come up and hopefully something like Marxism/functionalism in the family :biggrin:

Yeah got the exam on the 14th, luckily my only exam though so isn't too much of a stress as it could have been.

What is, according to you, is the best way to revise sociology? :smile:

I find it really difficult to memorise all the things... especially with Unit 4 as well.

Been really looking at the notes my teacher has been giving me (actually got more family notes from my education in sociology teacher than my family teacher, he has been covering both topics to cove lack of notes from other teacher, who prefers to just talk for 50 minutes)
