Does anyone know any other possible question 3 could be on if it wasn't globalisation?

I am 100% sure it will be on globalisation as globalisation covers a large section of specification and thus you can include many ideas into an essay on globalisation.

It has to be globalisation, that's the main point of extract 5

Depends they may ask a specific question rather than a question directly relating to globalisation.

I know it will most probably be globalisation, but i don't want to get into the exam and get asked a question which i haven't practiced. Could it be on Development or Sustainability of something?

If you look at the previous papers, question 3 has always been asked on the final extract, which for us is on globalisation. I don't think OCR will trick us and ask a different question. That's why it will most certainly be on globalisation. Besides, i'm pretty sure that's what the majority of students will prepare on. So if OCR do ask something different, you won't be the only one struggling!

It has to be in the content of the extract, when assessing benefits or cost of globalisation you could develop it in terms of sustainability or development or other bits. It has been discussed in previous pages, you can have a look at other bits mentioned

i have my first F585 mock on Thursday so i can finally see what areas I'm lacking on. Just need to remember to use the extracts properly. but still need to practice question 3.

Any exam tips?

I agree that the question is most likely to be on globalisation, however we should be aware of other possibilities. I agree we won't be the only ones struggling but the possibility that we might struggle is more stressing than it sounds. No one really cares about whether anyone else struggled on the last question or not (if it turns out to be other than globalisation) because they'll only really care about the fact that they themselves didn't prepare for other possibilities and therefore we'll be stressing throughout all summer (until results day) about the bad grade we might have got because of this.

The question has to be on extract 5 since the structure of the paper is based on that. Globalisation, some inequality and poverty is mentioned. During the course you should have completed the syllabus and all topics in the specification, most courses concentrate more on the content of the extract. My guess is that the question is on globalisation in the context of winners and losers within or between countries but I am just speculating.

I noticed that someone had deleted all the content in the google document.
I kindly request you not to do this.
I do keep backup copies, so I do have the ability to recover the questions and answers.

I posted it twice. Hopefully there is an answer in the shared word document
