I ran out of time, otherwise I would have gotten them both done e-e Unit 2 is worth more of the grade anyway so If I do well on that hopefully I'll at least get a C

BEST sociology exam ever, I could answer everything no problem. I think everyone did quite well though so they might raise the grade boundary for an A

Blessing of a paper. I re-sit this exam as I got a C in this last year, so hoping I'll get a B or an A

I feel the exact same, I really enjoyed this paper though, especially the childhood question! However I'm not very confident that I did well enough ah, how did you find it?

I hope not! I got the Marxist question all wrong so I've already dropped a grade!!

If they do, they will only raise it by a tiny bit, they always do. last year an A was 42 and that paper was pretty challenging, may raise it to 44 or 45.

how did you define households

"To remove any confusion, here is the definition of a household from the mark scheme of June 09.

a household consists of a person living alone or a group of people who live communally, eg
share accommodation and eat together."
