Back to revision Back to revision Social Harmony

The information below sets out the examination questions from Edexcel covering the period from 2000 - 2002. Remember that in the exam each section has two sets of questions and YOU have to choose which set of questions you are going to answer - you can not mix and match! Below I have given both questions in a, b, c & d. You will hopefully get a feel from these as to the types of questions the examiners will ask you.
