Last minute sociology AS Unit 1 Tips (AQA)

1. Plan your longer 24 mark mini-essay answers

2.  Tackle the essay questions first

3.  Remember the first essay is knowledge driven so use plenty of studies, concepts and analysis to drive your answer.

4. However don't forget to evaluate within each paragraph, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of whatever you are discussing.

5.  Remember to link back the question at the end of each paragraph back to your essay question.

6. Conclude and come to a judgement

7. For the final essay question remember this is evaluation driven, so be critical throughout, disagree with the question and support with studies, concepts and theory, evaluate the usefulness of the focus of the question.

8.  If you agree with the question then come back in your link and demonstrate why this point or view is the strongest.

9. Answer the short-mark questions with bullet points, rather than in sentences.

10. Add an extra point to your short-mark questions to ensure you get all the marks.

11. Give an example with the definition a question.

12.  Plan at the beginning and read through at the end.

Best wishes tomorrow.
