never heard of it but I'd imagine if you've had no lessons on it and have not been told anything about it then you can't/not expected to study for it

24 hours before an exam might just be a tad late to start srevising let alone studying.

Try this

Best of Luck.

ok i have done this exam, didnt revise and got an A, honestly it not something you can revise for, just go in and use common sense. Alot of the questions are just pure common sense.

hope this helps

I didnt revise at all and didnt take it that seriously but got a B for AS. I'm carrying on with it this year because a couple of my Uni choices accept it and I might not get the B I need in Economics but the teacher even told us that there's no way they can fully tell us what might be on the paper, they dont have a clue basically and can only cover a few vague topics in little detail. I wouldnt worry too much about it, but topics like Utilitarianism, Society, the role of the State, Religion etc. are the ones that may crop up

:laugh:

We didnt get taught what it was at all and then it ended up being in the exam and worth a load of marks. I dont know if you need to know but it just basically means doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people I think

I went to a total of 4 lessons of General Studies for the whole year in year 12, I had no revision notes for the exam and didn't know what the fudge it was even about and came out with a D.

A lot of it is multiple choice and common sense, and the rest I just rambled on writing as if I knew what I was talking about and it seemed to work lol.

You wouldn't be happy with a D after only attending 4 lessons..?

Anyway, the majority of universities don't take UCAS points earned from General Studies or Critical Thinking so it's a bit of waste of time really unless your course does take it into consideration.

OMFG i would be epic @ a BB exam

Smithy

lmao

It wasn't like specific things that happened during BB, but it was like multichoice about peoples arguments for and against blah blah blah, but anyway, I think watching it helped quite a bit.

So yea :')
