I have started the same topic on the National Politics board in hope of generating some action :)


So how many people are thinking of doing International Studies next year ?

Hopefully, some of the posters who have done it in the past can give us some tips on how to do well next year :)

Greggaz:
Hey guys. International Studies is a brilliant subject, because it allows you to get a really in-depth insight into the most recent happenings of the world, since the end of the Cold War. The key to doing really well for it, in my opinion, is to have a bank of around 15-20 statistics that you can employ in the extended response questions, and around 40-50 for the essay, that you can mould your argument around. Also, Inter is very much based around a balanced viewpoint, so I'd suggest when answering the longer-style 10+ mark questions, always argue along the lines of 'in equal measure', or 'largely but not wholly'. Be concise. Be compact. And EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE! I'll post a couple of my extended responses and essays once exams are over for you guys to have a peak at. Thoroughly enjoyable though, and I highly recommend it!

Thanks for the advice Greggaz :)

After asking a few people about International Studies, most say similar to what you've said. Specifically the point you made about evidence.


Good luck with your exams. Hopefully you get the time to post your extended responses and essays once exams are over.
