Edexcel Govt and Politics Unit 1 and 2?

Ideally i would do
Unit 1 - Pressure Groups and Democracy, maybe elections
unit 2 - judiciary Section A, constitution 40 marker

How would you even answer that social media one as 25 marker ._.

I am with AQA - AS LEVEL POLITICS. You might not be able to help me, but this message is worth a shot!

Hi all,

If you could, please would you be able to help me?

Any top tips on how to score relatively high on this paper?

Anything which is always good to include in 5 markers, 10 markers, 25 markers?For unit 1, I have studied:Pressure groupsElectoral systems Participation & Voting behaviour For these topics, is there any key terms, or any sub-topics that I must be 100% be confident on?Finally, does anybody have any predictions for this paper?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have had 2 mocks at college in exams conditions, and both times I have received an A - I just feel like I have been very lucky with the questions though.Exam tips which could ultimately boost by mark would be great!Thank you for your help,Kind Regards.


If anybody knows of anybody on the same exam board as me, please could you redirect this message to them. Thank you!

All I can say mate is shove as many examples you can into your answers, be it quotes from people specific dates or a particular event, being up to date with really current knowledge also gets you the top marks
Ideally do 3 paragraphs for the 10 markers and 4 body paragraphs(with internal argument) + an intro and conclusion for the 25 mark ones, 5 markers if it's a define you should probably shove some examples in there too or explain how or why it happens cause let's face it it's pretty hard to define a word and be able to get 5 marks
For the electoral systems I would definitely focus on 2015 election and shove loads of stats in there as examples
Hope this helped in one way or another!

For the 2015 GE, do you have any examples of stats?
I have turnout, different social groups, but is there anything else?

Cameron only gained a 12 seat majority in 2015
UKIP gained 1 seat, with 12.6% of the vote share, but the SNP gained 56 seats with 4.7% of the vote share- FPTP is a disproportional electoral system.
If the westminster voting system was proportional, here's what votes would look like:

UKIP would have had 82 seats, SNP would have had 31 seats.

Find some stats on devolved assemblies elections from 2016- for some proportional electoral system stats, (bcuz NI uses STV and scotland/wales use AMS.)

There are some facts in the Andrew Heywood textbook on partisan dealignment, low turnout, etc.

hope i helped

Green Party also received 1 seat but with 4% of the vote
Social make up of parliament now:
Male MPs: 463, female MPs: 187
White British MPs: 609, ethnic minority
MPs: 41
Here is also the case for reform after the 2015 election for those you haven't got the book
