Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Current CAPE Sociology syllabus and paper format check

CAPE Sociology is examined as two units, each with three modules, and each unit has a multiple-choice Paper 01, an essay Paper 02, and either the internal assessment as Paper 031 or the alternative Paper 032 for private candidates.

First tasks

  • Check the current syllabus and timetable on the CXC website and note the paper format
  • List the specific objectives of each Sociology module in syllabus order
  • Ask your teacher for the school's internal research project deadlines for Unit 1 and Unit 2
  • Recheck the Sociology syllabus edition at the start of each school year @recurring(yearly)

Deciding when to sit Sociology Unit 1 and Unit 2

Most schools teach Unit 1 in lower sixth and Unit 2 in upper sixth, but some students sit both units in one year, and private candidates choose freely. The choice changes how much time you have for two research projects, how your timetable looks beside your other CAPE subjects, and what results you can show a university or scholarship panel in which year.

First tasks

  • Ask your Sociology teacher how the school normally schedules the two units
  • Draw a two-year timeline of every CAPE unit you plan to sit
  • Compare the research project load of each option in a short table
  • Write your decision and the reason at the front of your Sociology folder

Diagnostic Sociology essay and Paper 01 baseline

Before planning revision you need to know whether your weakness is knowledge, essay structure or timing. One untimed multiple-choice set and one timed essay from a past paper in the first fortnight, marked against the mark scheme, show where the next six months of effort should go and give a starting score to beat.

First tasks

  • Pick one Paper 02 essay question on a topic you have already covered in class
  • Write the essay under timed conditions without notes
  • Score a Paper 01 style practice set and note which modules lost marks
  • List your three biggest weaknesses and tag each one

Make it yours.

Install CAPE Sociology, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
