      A Level Sociology 02 December 2016

      The sample assessment material for A Level Sociology (H580) has been amended

      We have amended question 3 in section A (Globalisation and the digital social world) of the A Level Sociology (H580) sample assessment material for component 3. 

      The revised question 3 now reads:

      'Digital social communication has reduced social inequality'. Evaluate this point of view. [16 marks]

      This amended wording makes it clear that reference to the sources is not a requirement for this question.

      The sample assessment material has been amended and is now available to download from the qualification page of the OCR website. This includes updates to the relevant pages of the mark scheme. Please ensure you are using the correct version.

      We have also updated our candidate style answers resource for component 3. This is now available under 'Teaching and learning resources' on the qualification page of the OCR website.

      If you have any queries about this notice please call our Customer Contact Centre on 01223 553998.
