Yep! If you talk about like a theory with Operant Learning Theory but the paper was low-key disappointing no relationships just about soc control and I don’t know the first 9 marker with civil liberties and legal barriers but I know I did really well with the other 9 markers

so so happy to be done with it. i feel like that paper was really underwhelming. it wasn't horrible but it wasn't the nicest. the civil liberties question caught me out tbh

sorry to ask under here but is it true that if you fail unit 4 then you fail the entire a-level?? 😭 i got high Bs in all the previous units, but then i came across some problems and i’m 99% sure im getting a D, E or U in unit 4. i’m so scared 😭😭😭 my teacher was saying stuff about that, but then i read some conversations online saying that they failed the last unit but still got a grade

I dont want to scare you but I've heard that it's true - pretty certain you only need like 20% for an E though so don't be too scared and think positively

i was told that below 40% is a fail and i think i’m going to get between 35-45% 😭 the questions were nearly everything i didn’t manage to learn, but thank you for letting me know!! hopefully it really is something like 20% for an E

it went alright for me. although a few questions tripped me up like that social liberties one. also did i have to link it to the scenario even if it didnt say?? i only linked when it explixitly told me to like the one about goldie. i dont think i even mentioned the first sceanrio in my answer. is that bad 😭
