Specifically, the video focuses on the format/wording of the 8, 12 and 15 mark questions, the ideal way to structure answers and some suggestions of what could be included in great answers.

Disclaimer: I do not know what content will be on this year’s exam paper, nor do I work for Eduqas. I am just a teacher / ex-examiner trying to help Sociology students better understand the format of the exam paper and how they could attempt to answer it. The suggestions I give in this video are just the ways I would go about answering the questions and are by no means the only ways to do so.

I hope you found something helpful in there!
