I spoke to a few people I know who re-sat the family paper in January and they told me Demography did not come up so I have an inkling we might get a qs on it

I took this exam in the January exam series and the paper was as follows:

Define the nuclear family (2 marks)
Infant and birth rate question (4 marks)
Restriction on child activities (6 marks)
Evaluate Marxist views on family (24 marks)
Assess the view that we have more diverse lifestyles and family types (24 marks) [[ It was very similarly worded to this as I recall the end part made me panic ]]

Domestic violence, demography and social policy haven't come up in a while I don't think but don't assume a question won't be asked twice as in the summer of 2012 a question on family diversity was asked and was repeated in January 2013 If you need any help about individual things mail me and ask :-)

I'm so stressed :eek:

There's so much stuff to revise and nothing seems to be going in my head.

Since childhood came up on the June 2012 paper do you think the chances of it coming up again are slim? I really hate childhood!

My teacher basically sits in the chair and makes us copy notes from the text book so we're practically teaching ourselves, so if I got a question about childhood no matter how much I revise over it I wouldn't really feel confident about it! I'm finding it hard to cut down my notes to a length that I can remember them at because all the revision I'm doing is just completely overwhelming me and I'm getting super stressed over everything!

Can you explain the general idea of the essay grids? They sound helpful. Are you basically just picking topics that the 24 marks could be on then noting down under it like trigger phrases? So say for reasons for the decline in birth rates you'd write down things like changes in women's position, decline in infant mortality rate, children are becoming an economic liability and child centeredness for example? If I make any sense!

yep my essay grids start with an intro then goes into thses factors under those factors i use mnemonic for the factors so like CRRDS etc. so that acts a retrieval cue for me in my exam and then udner each one is the reason and the study with key information only.

After everything in the nemonic has been written down i use ABC- always be able to conclude stating the overall changes of birth rate for example. then i dop my conlusion given my opinion .

Hi 5 my teacher is the exact same photocopies irrelevant things and pages from the book into THICK booklets. That is why i finished off the Family Unit myself and childhood.

For 'examine' questions, do we have to include criticisms or an argument?
