a level sociology tips!!

hi!! i did a level sociology (specifically OCR, but these tips should be transferrable!) and got A*, achieving 280/300, so i thought i would share some tips!!

1- summary sheets

your summary sheets will have the sociologist name, along with a brief summary of what they say. you should split this into each topic eg 'gender sociologists' etc.

they are super helpful for aiding revision, having a bank of everything you need to know in one place (i like to do them online), and it being quick to read!

2- mind maps

the mind maps will be for each topic, with the sociologist name and a brief summary of what they say. you should use no notes, and then fill in the ones you forgot/need more detail in a different colour, and repeat over and over until most/all of your mind map can be done without notes!

this is the most helpful thing i did, it is a visual represention of what you know. i would recommend doing one, filling it in, and then coming back to it around 30mins later (doing a different topic's mind map in the mean time) to stick it to long term memory more!

3- the syllabus

read the syllabus. you are going to have been taught so many more sociologists than are actually necessary, just learn what you *have* to so you can focus on what is actually important.

4- practice questions

everyone says this but this is the most helpful!! get your teacher to mark it, so you know how developed a paragraph is, and after a while you will be able to judge how developed your own paragraph is, which is super helpful in exams bc then you know if you need to explain something further!

my teachers were very very strict on what makes a developed paragraph, which meant i definately over-explained in my exam, but it is better to over explain than under explain!!

5- common sense

this may be OCR specific, but globalisation in paper 3 is by far the easiest to get marks on, because there aren't many sociologists for it yet. as long as you explain and use a real life example, you're good. all round though, it is very much common sense.

one of our globalisation q's were 'assess the view that the digital revolution has increased the opportunity to monitor personal info', and i had no idea what to do for sociologists. so i used common sense and gave the example of our data being sold, and also the example of certain apps/websites using encryption

i hope this helps, let me know if you want more/for different subjects!!!

Alhumdulilallah, I finally got my degree. After almost 9 years of fighting to obtain this the halal way, Alhumdulilallah, I still feel empty. Crazy right? I realised it's time to submit to my Lord and focus on him and his pleasure as I promised. Alhumdulilallah

Hello again. Okay so due to procrastinating and some other reasons, here I am trying to complete sixteen chapters in six hours for my biology test tomorrow which is next to impossible I know I know but I’m taking this as a challenge. I think if I do somehow manage to complete this before the test tomorrow this will give me a lot of idk self confidence or something or just more reason to believe that I’m capable of doing things like these. Without further ado, let’s get started :))) I will keep everyone posted (that is if I survive this)

I'm really tired. I woke up at 7:14 am, which is not very early, but it is for me, and I haven't rested since. I got a lot done, thank god, but I have even more charted for tomorrow. I can't be mad about this hole I am in with school because it is no one’s fault but my own. (down to 9 assignments on paper; I have a bunch of essays not counted though so double it). On the other hand, I don’t know what it feels like to be on top of work, so it might be some sort of self-sabotage. Idk. That’s way too AP psych for me.

This aesthetic photo is so not aesthetic at all. I just took it because I wanted to post something. It’s real though🤷‍♀️ I migrate from my chair to my floor a lot when I do homework, and idk why. It’s subconscious. I don’t even notice until I realize how uncomfortable I am.

Goals rn are to walk my dog every day, practice Duolingo, and get to bed before 12. I am really in my element when I’m rocking the 10-2 sleep schedule, but “it’s not healthy.” I have new budgies, too, and they’re morning animals anyway, so best to wake up with them. You also feel light years more productive in the mornings. It’s psychosomatic. “Proven”

Random midnight thought: I feel like reading a book with someone else's annotations is super interesting.

Like reading someone's book where they only highlighted things and left no writing.

Or someone who highlighted nothing but there are scrubbles of thoughts all throughout.

I wish there was a bookstore that took in annotated books where you could look at what the previous owner thought.
