Stop complaining, I'm sure you will do fine in that exam. If you are good, nothing can stop you 😀😀
Hiya! This exam thread is great - I've added it to the Exam Thread Directory 2017 :h:

If you see any other exam threads threads that aren't in the directory yet - let me know by either tagging me in, or linking it in the directory and I can add it in! You can also find discussions for your other exams there.

If any of your other exams aren't on there yet - feel free to make the exam thread for it yourself :excited:

Good luck in your exams :eek3:
How come you're still doing on spec ?

Okay so I'm sure we all have done the specimen papers and know what came on last year. So can we guys take time and write down topics that haven't been tested. How's everyone preparing for paper 3. Has anyone done that tutor2u mock test
In my opinion, the toughest thing for us will be nailing the exam technique; Knowledge, Application, Analysis and Evaluation. Personally, I think that for me, timing will be my only problem since the technique has been really drilled into my way of writing. As for content, I think that it's not really "hard" as such. I take Economics which ties in with the A2 content. Themes 1 and 2 will just be a case of flicking back over past notes if I'm honest. The case studies often show obvious answers anyway.

What's you doing technique? Mines knowledge, then two adv and two disadvantages and then evaluation.

For the 20 marker, I tend to go for 2 points with developed chains of reasoning applied in context, which are both evaluated and are counters to the original points, and then I set out my evaluation in detail.

8 marks - 2 points, countered.
10 marks - 2 points, countered with developed evaluation.
12 marks - 2 points, countered with evaluation + a conclusion (paragraph potentially talking about short term/long term impacts or significance)
