I take sociology too. only 5 students in my school take sociology this year
for paper 1, focus really well on research methods.
tip: always develop your answer. in 4 mark questions, you write 2 points and develop each. in 6 mark questions, 3 points minimum. in 8 mark questions, 4 points. make sure your development is at least 2-3 lines. always write an argument and balance your answer in an 8 mark questions. also write a conclusion with your opinion 3-4 lines.
& good luck. hope we do well.
Oh and revise from other past papers 'cause questions are repeated (;

hope i'm not late :|
Better late than never mate
Anyway I don't think I'll have any problem with it as a whole (hopefully), but most probably I won't know any definition as there's no time to memorize all of them.
The good thing about sociology is that 70% of it has to do with general information, I think.

For definitions, use your own words if you can't memorize them. Write what you understand and give an example to gain the 2 marks and use theories in 8 mark questions (marxists, functionalists, nature VS nurture, etc)
Yepp, it's general knowledge + english skills

Mate, I did absolutely nothing but reading some methodology-related questions and a bit about the stratification topic, and I'm VERY optimistic about tomorrow.
I've always liked subjects like these where your English is the thing you need most; That's why I got an A in Business without studying half of the syllabus.
Anyway good luck tomorrow buddies; And we can discuss the paper tomorrow after we're done on this forum!
PS: Nature has to do with biological factors, whereas nurture has to do with what you LEARN through socialization and the influence of society.

you can study from the Active Sociology for GCSE by Jonathan Blundell, that's what we're having
I studied from "Sociology for GCSE by Pauline Wilson & Allan Kidd", it's a great book.
& yes, you can get a good mark in it without tutoring but you should take it seriously and try to finish the syllabus as soon as you can; I took the exam today without being given any help from tutors & it went fine.
