š Ā Monday 19th May š
Hi lovelies.
Gosh, exam season really is in full swing, isnāt it?
Your AQA A-Level Sociology Paper 1 is almost here, and the night before isnāt about cramming, itās about refining. We know you know the stuff - itās just about how youāre getting it down!
Here are a few final strategies to sharpen your exam technique and turn all your hard work into clear, confident answers.
š 3 Smart Final Tips for Sociology Paper 1
ā
Ā 1. Named Sociologists = Guaranteed Marks
One thing is for sure: include specific theorists or studies in your longer answers. Vague references like āsome sociologists argueā¦ā isnāt going to cut it!
Use names like Durkheim (social solidarity), Oakley (gender roles), and Murray (New Right family views). Check any others you need a refresh on too!
šĀ 2. Plan 10 Mark and 20/30 Mark Answers Before Writing
Itās easy to waffle under pressure. Spend 2ā3 minutes outlining:
Your key points or paragraphs
Which study or theory youāll apply
Where youāll analyse vs. evaluate
Planning first = fewer contradictions, more clarity, and higher AO3 marks.
šĀ 3. Link Back to the Question Constantly
In every paragraph, use phrases like:
āThis supports the view thatā¦ā, āHowever, this challenges the claimā¦ā, or āIn the context of the questionā¦ā
Examiners need to see youāre not just listing knowledge: youāre shaping an argument.
