I know that feeling I had history and politics today like you. I just want to sleep forever.
I also did history and politics today but the upshot is I've got just unit 4 and 2 maths exams left.

okay thanks (:
Just thought i'd post the essay trends here for you all-
Feminism has had an essay on the PAST 4 exams
Ecologism has had an essay on the PAST 3 exams
Nationalism had an essay LAST YEAR
Multiculturalism did NOT have an essay LAST YEAR

So I'd advise everyone to smash feminism SAQs because the likelihood is, it won't be an essay thus it'll have 2 SAQs. You could still avoid them since you answer 3/5 but it seems a good idea to revise them well.

this was the same in unit 3 with anarchism as there was no anarchism essay this year though it appeared 3 years in a row before. It was taken out for liberalism which hadn't appeared last year in the essay section.

thanks for this. do you think i can get away with planning all 45 markers for ecologism and revising it inside out as this is the question i would answer since feminism won't come up, and revise core themes for the others?

i've only revised core themes for feminism, i don't even have notes for the different forms of ecologism and that's the question i would answer for a 45 marker...i don't think i have time to revise more than 2 ideologies as i have an ethics exam on the same day. i'm so stressed i just want to give up. D:

when do you guys have your last exam? mine is on the day we have politics after my ethics exam in the afternoon...honestly cannot wait for that day.

It's good that you know feminism core themes because it's likely to come up as two 15 markers! Ugh same, I know how you feel :frown: At least your exams are over soon! Mine finish next Friday :frown:

i think i'm the only one thats struggling to find ecologism easy? i'm finding it so hard and nothing seems to make sense to me. also the questions look hard. D: i'm changing my mind and answer a nationalism 45 marker instead. :/
