What each AQA GCSE Sociology paper assesses
AQA GCSE Sociology (8192) is examined in two papers of 1 hour 45 minutes, 100 marks and half the GCSE each. Paper 1 covers families and education; Paper 2 covers crime and deviance and social stratification. The sociological approach and research methods are examined on both papers, applied to each topic. There are no options: every student studies all six topics, and every one of them is here, with the key sociologists and texts the specification names.
