Citizenship Unit 1 - HOW WAS IT???
Watch
Announcements
the questions were okay but some of the wording was strange and got me confused I think i lost some easy marks but whatever happens, happens. The essay questions were so easy all 3 of them, but I selected the first essay question as I thought there was so much you can write about, wb you guys?

The wording of the questions threw me off too! I thought some of the past papers were easier. I wrote about the 2nd essay question (about newspapers) which was okay, I'm just worried I didn't include enough examples in there. I hated the questions about the strike on the train but apart from that I think it went okay. At least the grade boundaries for the past couple of years have been okay. Have you got the unit 3 test on Thursday?

I was thinking that, to be honest I thought rights and responsibilities was going to be the easiest section but I actually found it quite hard! Probably because of the source questions. I really want an A because I got A*s in my controlled assessments so hopefully the examiner is nice. Have you done the controlled assessments yet? I'm doing 3B on Thursday as well, I haven't really revised properly to be honest I'm not sure how, for unit 1 I just done flashcards and past papers, I think I'll print unit 3 past papers off tomorrow. I think unit 3 should be okay, its just the essay questions I'm worried about.

We've covered the unit 3 content this year. it was unit 1 we didn't cover because we done it in year 9, they basically just told us to out own revision (which was annoying). Unit 3s content I think is easier, the actual exam layout is harder. We haven't done any past papers and we don't have any citizenship lessons before Thursday so I'm gonna just make some flashcards tonight and do past papers on Tuesday and Wednesday and hope that works! As well as revising for a Chemistry mock (ugh). On all the past papers I've seen there's a 15 mark question- which looks exactly the same as a 12 mark questions but you don't get a choice in what to write about. And normally a variation between 6/8/12 mark questions, also there's a lengthy multiple choice question section which is quite good. I think I just need to get to grips with answering the past papers!

The questions were pathetic. Basically in section B there are some topics which we already get told. They're worth 20 marks and we have to write stuff about them. I chose about the Civil war in Syria. We get told to learn soo much content and soo much about the war itself, and the questions are hardly related to it! They're on about the UN & G8 & that ****. Also the one markers were not even on the spec! Stil most were pretty easy. Paper was good overall, questions were annoying

I feel the same to be honest! I've got A*s in the controlled assessments so I don't really want a B. Did you notice that as the years have went on they've got harder but the grade boundaries have stayed the same (with the past papers). I hated how they were all worded!

Omg, yeah the wording was so strange I had to re-read it like 3 times just to understand it better. I also chose the first essay question. I wrote about the employment tribunal. what did you include in the essay question?
