I cant attach my handwritten notes (cuz there are exactly 57 pages which is gonna take foreverrr)....but have attached some other notes :smile:

Hope they are useful

I think the marks are pretty high....especially compared to other subjects!!!

finally found a thread for this exam!
quite surprised that not many people are taking this exam, as in my opinion looks easier then the edexcel american politics unit, and the recent election makes it easier to link policies and factual information in
any predictions?

Do you have any revision notes you could share , any tips, predictions etc

basically all I have done is gone through past papers and mark schemes, also looked at party's manifestos in the 2015 election as this gives up to date infomation and synoptic links you could use, e.g Ed Miliband States the bedroom tax to be unfair and cruel,hitting 2 million families, 2/3 of whom are disabled.

I have a feeling fracking or gatwick airport expansion may come up, but not entirely sure?

I could see fracking coming up, but i think i remember seeing a question on airport expansion not that long ago. So I don't think it'd come up again

Has anyone looked in depth at the past papers in recent times ? it could provide a trend as to what topic will appear twice in 15 marker section and not appear in the 45 marker section towards the end

Also, what writing styles do you guys adopt for the 15 and 45 markers?

there hasn't been a 45 marks essay on the NHS for a few years now so I have a feeling that could come up. Also something topical like HS2 maybe? Last year there wasn't an environment 45 marker so that could also come up?

last year it was 70/90 marks for an A* and 64/90 for an A which is quite good for an A2 paper, especially considering around 70% was an A at GCSE

Possibly something on how the coalition have reduced unemployment, considering unemployment is at its lowest in years

Also, looking at the june 2010 exam (last exam after an election) they did a couple of comparison questions, i.e, how similar labour and conservative tax policies are
