Should we learn essay plans for questions which have already come up?

For the inequality 40m I was planning on not thoroughly going through questions which are already mentioned in previous past papers. Like functionalist views on ethnicity for instance. Maybe learn like one or two ao1 points from there to use as AO3 in my other essays but that’s it. Am I taking too big of a risk by not learning it in detail if it’s already come up?
Just to let you know, I have now made this the official thread for this exam. Best of luck! :smile:

i think that’s a huge risk because they’re known to repeat questions as well

My teacher said it is likely to be Ethnicity and Marxism for the 40 marker. I am not so confident with section B and 40 markers so I'm currently trying hard to memorise cover all the content😂

i looked back at all the past papers and i’m 60/40 sure that it’s Marxist views on ethnicity inequalities

By the way, these are just predictions, so make sure you make other plans as well. After looking at the past papers, I think the 20m are going to be social class. So overall, I predict it’s going to be a Marxist view on ethnicity is the 40 marker, and social class affects life chances on the 20 marker.
