Politics a level
Hi, currently in year 13, I am studying politics a level and just find it hard to balance all the year 12 work on top of what we learn in year 13, and honestly Im so cooked, my essay plans for year 12 content are so bad I'm having to rewrite them in year 13 in January!!!! I only know 1 of the 3 ideologies, and in general i'm so bad at the subject. Do I need an evidence bank for all 3 papers, or do I just need to memorise essay plans? Advice?

Hi there, I also did politics A level and found there was a lot of content! You need to have quotes and statistics ready for all three papers. What I did was create an evidence bank whereby I had 3 pages worth of just stats or quotes. Then I memorised this so for example, Boris Johnson suggested in the Brexit campaign that 350 million a week would go the NHS. Stuff like that to support your arguments. I would also recommend that listening to the A level politics show and the newsagent podcasts, am easy way to revise without it feeling like revision!
