SQA Higher Sociology - 28th May 2024 [Exam Chat]

hey guys! what are we all hoping will come up this year?

hi, does anyone have a list of possible questions that could come up on section 2? i’ve only got past paper questions and they don’t tend to repeat those in the culture and identity section.

does anyone have anything on oxford mobility study? and power and status (our teacher didn't have time to teach it)

send me your email and ill give you what ive got for this

Anyone have a good writing frame/layout for the essays? My teacher isn’t even sure and told us to do the research…

girl honestly this seems to be the vibe with sociology this year im not convinced anyone has any idea whats going on ahahaha. i managed to get full marks on an essay the other day and i did the structure of:
intro - 4 marks
study - 7 marks
theories - 14 marks (split up, i try to do contrasting ones unless the question says otherwise because yknow theyre all just so similar ahahaha)

GOOD LUCK!! you've got this x

omg I love you! Tysm! Hope you get an A💕

How much depth do you need to gain full marks on a question? I looked at the SQA candidate evidence marking from a few years ago and someone had a really in-depth answer and only got half marks. Is there something specific you need to include in your answers to get marks?

How did people find the exam? I was so happy seeing the social issues essay question! I did educational attainment (other social issue) because I find that essay much easier to write than social mobility.

It was sooo good, also in section 2 on the socialisation question, did u talk abt agents of socialisation?

Yeah I basically went on about primary and social agents of socialisation and how they influence age/gender identity

For the describe 2 findings of folk devil's and morals panics, I talked about what a folk devil was and what a moral panic was. Is that okay?
