pretty much the same as you but didn't go that deep into it lol. By the sounds of it you definitely improved!
Resat Units 1 and 3.

Unit 1 was okay-did electoral systems and pressure groups.

Question (c) for pressure groups:frown: .Wasn't happy about it.Because I spent so much time on electoral systems,had only 10 minutes to do (c) so just wrote bullet points with examples?How many marks do you think I will get without explanation for (c) out of 30?I think maybe 7?

Unit 3-constitutional reform-was great:biggrin:

Went great-hopefully can get an A in this unit so B overall for AS irrelvant of Unit 1.

I did Unit 1 - and Q1 which was Political Parties, and Q2 which was Direct and Representative Democracy.

I'm not looking forward to the results. I knew all the answers, however an hour was certainly not enough for me. Lack of time caused me to start panicing and I kept getting a mental block. Really strange as I'm never nervous about exams!

Oh well.

I re-sat unit 2 and completed the exam with 4 minutes to spare, that beats my first attempt where i just started the last question with 9 minutes to spare! Every point i made i used recent relevant examples to back up my point, both from the UK, USA and France. In the essay questions i made sure i made no less than 3 points, arguing both sides with a conclusion. I revised really hard for A questions, ensuring i completed them within 2minutes, giving me a lot of time for B and C questions.

I found the questions really easy too, how is UK parliamentary (i did 3 points+explantion), how has the UK constitution been criticized? (I did 3 big points+explanation+implication+evaluation+1 small point) how representative is parliament (i did big 4 points+explantion+implication+evaulation)

I’m confident I’ll get a high A, borderline A/B in the worst case scenario. I am happy.
