Just sat politics exam. Your predictions were very accurate. The source questions was on the development of political parties and referendums. Essay questions were on think tanks, lobbying, pressure groups and the other option was related to voting behaviour. Ideologies was liberalism and conservatism.
Based on my theory, there is a pattern for ideologies. If you look at the past papers they put one ideology two years in a row. For example, In 2019, there was Conservatism & Socialism, in 2020 there was Liberalism and socialism. However, in 2021, there was Conservatism & Liberalism and in 2022 Conservatism & Socialism. In 2023, there was no conservatism . So technically, it makes sense to see Conservatism on this year's paper bc we haven't seen it since 2022. You should obviously revise all ideologies in case they put two questions of the same one. Regardless of these predictions, I wish everyone the best of luck, let's hope for the best.
@@Dylan-lh9gx they warned us from Pearson this year but idk if they’re actually going to do it. For the ideologies now it’s most likely to be conservatism although nothing can be predicted for sure. It makes sense to see conservatism this year though bc the ‘pattern’ is reasonable. Personally, I can answer questions in all 3 ideologies but I’ve been focusing on conservatism a lot lately just in case.
You should. In each you should make a clear argument about which side of the argument was more persuasive and justify why. This should be consistent with your overall argument in the essay introduced in the introduction and set out in the conclusion
Surely they won’t ask a question on the EU? My teachers skipped that part of the course as they said that edexcel are not testing on that part of the course anymore.
I was also wondering do you have any advice for ideology questions if they come up about a certain topic (such as Paternalism in Conservatism) how do you ensure to compare strands with certain topics when it is a topic itself. (unlike comparing human nature or society where you can use the idea of paternalism as one of paragraphs as so is easier to compare.)
You can compare for different aspects of paternalism they agree/disagree on. I.e. they agree that the state should provide order and security, but they disagree on whether the state should act paternalistically in the economy and disagree about the need for paternalism to guide human nature
Hi Olly, Paper 2 questions tend to say that we have to include some sort of knowledge from Paper 1. How many marks are at stake if someone doesn't do this and do you have any suggestions on how to do this effectively?
You can't get an A*/high A without doing synoptic links. It depends on the question, but to be safe it's worth trying to do it at least twice in the essay
Hi Oli, thanks for the video. I'm struggling to understand the word you used at 13:43 : '___ sovereignty'. If you could clarify that would be super helpful!
@ yeah I do, I don’t remember the source questions but the the essay question for paper 1 was about if think tanks lobbyist or pressure groups more effective than eachother. The ideology question on conservatism was about how much they agree than disagree
good luck all
thank u, also could you summarise what he says on media and electoral systems pls I haven't had time yet to listen to it

Media:
- role of media is exaggerated: compare with policy, leadership, and social factors
- evaluate the view media has little impact: types of media in themes, influencing election, gov to account, voting behaviour in between elections
- ITV reporting of Post office scandal forced politicians to address it: Post Office Horizon scandal received a lot of public attention in 2024 and shows the role of media in influencing public opinion and holding politicians to account
Electoral systems:
- FPTP: types of gov created - coalitions vs single, representation and proportionality, voter choice but tactical and wasted votes, and marginal seats/safe seats
- Breakdown of Scottish gov in April 2024: Greens and SNP coalition after abandoning climate change targets, greens did no confidence vote and Yousaf resigned, shows a key disadvantage of AMS as it leads to coalitions and minority governments which are weak and unstable and shows clear partisanship between parties in Scotland like UK parliament.

Yes definitely!
@@politicsexplainedtutoring Do you remember what the sovereignty question was ?
i love u king thank u
This is my only hope. Making flashcards rn, not tryna fail tho it may b on the horizon. Anyway there’s no way I’m studying everything
LORD HAVE MERCY
not the predictions being all the topics i struggle with
Should you always write mini conclusions at the end of each paragraph - and if so what should you say?
You should. In each you should make a clear argument about which side of the argument was more persuasive and justify why. This should be consistent with your overall argument in the essay introduced in the introduction and set out in the conclusion
2 hours until the exam- am I cooked 💀💀
Surely they won’t ask a question on the EU? My teachers skipped that part of the course as they said that edexcel are not testing on that part of the course anymore.
That's not true at all!!! They changed the spec to focus on how leaving the EU impacted parliamentary sovereignty and could definitely ask about it!!!

hi could you please do this for AQA next year
Thank you soo much
Hi Oli, thanks for the video. I'm struggling to understand the word you used at 13:43 : '___ sovereignty'. If you could clarify that would be super helpful!
'Pooled sovereignty' so not losing sovereignty but essentially sharing it with other countries in the EU
Can i use your Core Idealogies structure for feminsim or should i just use your regular essay format ?
Thankyou!!
someone give my babes a raise
Anyone know the exact questions for the essay questions?
Do you Rememeber the questions you got in the mock then, have mine Monday😬
@ yeah I do, I don’t remember the source questions but the the essay question for paper 1 was about if think tanks lobbyist or pressure groups more effective than eachother. The ideology question on conservatism was about how much they agree than disagree
If something e.g media comes up as a 9 marker one year ( FOR AQA ) , what is the likelihood it’ll come up as a 25 marker the next year?
Also do you have a link to these examples?
Yes they're the two 'example packs' on the homepage of the website here www.politicsexplained.co.uk/
