Higher Modern Studies exam question

Hi,

In both the 2022 and 2023 paper 1, the 12 marker was for democracy, so do y'all think there's a chance that they might make democracy the 12 marker for the 3rd year in a row? Cause I know the SQA can be illogical at times (all the time) but surely not this much right?


Due to family emergencies, AH French being in 6 days, and having to complete my two AH language portfolios, it's left me with less time than I'd like to prepare for modern studies so I kind of need to figure out what to prioritise if that makes sense?

Thanks to anyone who responds! :smile:

yeah hopefully it will be!! The world powers/world issues topic is my weakest past of the subject so the less marks it's worth the better imo lmfao 😭
Nah I think it's going to be social inequalities/crime and law and they haven't done it since like 2015. Also my teacher for mods who's an sqa marker thinks it's going to be that because apparently, most teachers haven't been teaching the world issues/powers very well which is why they'll do social inequalities/crime and law to really test us
