Politics A level

1.

I would suggest making like end of unit summaries with examples in them. these are REALLY useful for revising when you have all of them to go over. Also you should do essays and read essays!

2.

Remember (i'm guessing you do edexcel) you only really need 22-23/30 to get an A* but do you have the essay because its easier to suggest once reading. General advice: use 'PACO'. In your introduction, put the definition of the key word in the question, set out the opposing argument and then funish with YOUR view then Point, what you are saying, give thea argument you agree with less, Argument, specific examples like a turnout percentage or theories, Counter, give the view YOU think and an explaination of that and Overall, weigh up just those points in a sentance, do that 3 times and then intro and conclusion. this should cover the 3 aos!! At the moment I am an A* student and i only get 24-26 in my 30 markers so 30/30 isnt neccisary. If you want examples, I have a few of my essays I can give you but idk if you want them.

3.

If podcasts are good for you I suggest: Rest is Politics, News Agents, Newscast (a bit boring but good) and definatley check out Page 94: Private Eye Podcast (a bit more fun and has Ian Hislop) and tv shows I suggest documentaries, Have I Got News For You, its a comedy but its fun and does have some good stuff. The Parliament youtube channel is great too, watch PMQs every week- they are so useful for examples and just understanding the system- and other more boring things like the budget ect. you should be interacting with these!! The Politics Shed is a great website with loads of stuff on the spec and Alan History Nerd is amazing for topic summaries.

4.

For this, i really suggest reading political memoirs, they LOVE that and in ideologies the exam board LOVES quotes from the key thinkers. You could also go further by watching shows on political history in the UK, interesting stuff imo and it is really good as a way to feed into your knowlege historically. Also if your teacher has like extra luchtime/ afterschool sessions these are also great
