Hey everyone!
Haven't seen an official thread for the unit 1 politics exam for Edexcel, so might as well start it now! I know its a bit early but as they say, its never too early to revise!
Any predictions on what may come up this year?

Revision is going well. I've chosen my 2 topics to focus on. Democracy and Elections. With Elections I can answer almost any past paper question, but still need to work on democracy.
Yourself?

For me, I think unit 2 has a lot more content and facts/figures that one needs to learn. I really like PM and Cabinet, not sure about the others yet...

Since for unit one there will always be one question from each topic, is anyone only revising for two topics as opposed to all four? A couple of people in my class is doing that, but somehow I don't think it's a good idea...
EDIT: Also, our class still hasn't touched Parliament and Judges and Civil Liberties yet, are we behind?

Our class has done Constitution, Parliament and Judges and Civil Liberties and we are finishing PM and Cabinet now. Still have EU to do. So I guess as long as you've done 2 or 3 topics, you'll be fine

Maybe a silly question, but for unit 2, do we need to cover all six topics, or will four suffice? My aim is to do all of them, but have so much work left to do!

For Unit 1, you have to do 2 questions. You have a choice of 4 questions - the four topics are:
- Democracy
- Elections
- Political Parties
- Pressure Groups
Good Luck!
For me, I think unit 2 has a lot more content and facts/figures that one needs to learn. I really like PM and Cabinet, not sure about the others yet...

I'm only revising for 2 topics - it depends on the person really. The reason I'm doing only 2 is because I'd be too opinionated when answering political parties and I hate pressure groups so I'm doing Elections and Democracy. Plus elections and democracy are complimentary to each other hence they'd be a good combo. But if you want to have a back up topic just in case there's a hard question on one of the two topics you've chosen, go for three

You should revise 3/4 topics and have knowledge on current politics going on.
