Hi everyone,
I've decided to resit one of my politics papers in order to boost my overall grade to an A, this is the American government paper and I was wondering if anyone else was doing this paper. It's the last year for resits and they're now known as "legacy" a levels. This is in order to improve grad prospects in the future. I'd love to share revision material with anyone who was interested.

I ended up with a B due to my Gov P1 mark. I'm resitting that in 2018 instead.

My teacher was excellent she told me how to answer the question and I had the textbook and class notes plus an online video website called "prechewed politics", it was my fault it was my last exam so I slacked and didn't try as I was burnt out which pulled my grade down

were you slow in planning and writing out your answers? did you not have enough material in the first place so as to answer the questions? did you have difficulty in understanding the exam questions? what advice can you give us for those who're sitting for the politics exam in June next year?

could you share with us how to answer the various marker questions for politics? Also do you have sample answers you could upload here so we know how to answer in the exams to get the top marks?

I'm a slow writer so I normally skip the planning stage, I actually thought the questions in the exam were good I just must have approached them the wrong way. My advice is start making revision material early as politics is one of the later exams so you can just read and do practice questions rather than having to make flashcards as it's content heavy. I started about a month before with proper intense revision, good luck!

Hi. I had a bt of a panic attack in the exam and I'm just really sad that I didn't get the grade I know I could have. Also, I'm applying to Oxford and it would be helpful to have another A*

Relearning the content and lots of essay practice will hopefully be enough, I'm at Warwick uni and the workload is heavy so whenever I'm home I'll make notes on Constitution and supreme court

Why are you retaking if you're already at a great uni? Not judging, just wondering

Hi! Thank you and haha sure. I'm afraid I don't actually have any marked essays (my teachers didn't rlly care) but I have my revision guides so i'll put those up. Also would highly recommend getting the edexcel revision books because I based most of my essays on them. Also, the key is to give really up to date examples so when I write essay plans I always look at the news for wierd **** trump is doing lol. I can't upload my revision stuff for a while be because I won't be able to get a hold of the computer for stupid reasons really but hopefully I can upload in the next two weeks. Sorry that's not that helpful
