Calling all Politics a level Students!!
Hey, how do you revise for Ideologies, I'm finding it particularly difficult? Which format is best for your mind maps/revision methods?
Many thanks!!

Hi @slyavishfox,
I'll go over this as a uni student and how I've gone over the different ideologies.
I take a few philosophy modules so in terms of the ideologies we cover, it can vary between each one and go even more in depth that those ideologies go even further in to more specific ones. I like to list a broad area like Liberalism, Realism (if your doing IR as part of your exam) and give detailed points on what ideas they entail. If you specialise even further in these areas, they can have subsections of it. Once you have got conciece ideas you can slowly start to compare the difference between them. Obviously, if you get so in-depth you will probably start to realise that some can overlap a lot but are still different in other ideas but that depends how in-depth you want to go.
I found this quite useful at the start of 1st year, because you slowly start to grasp an idea of how these ideas approach things and that then leads to more focused ideologies.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, I have heard from other coursemates that mind maps work, because you can list ideas for each ideology and then link them to one another.
If you have any questions about anything, more than happy to help.
