This document provides a complete set of condensed revision notes covering EVERYTHING you will need to know about Socialism (complete with all the key thinkers, strands, similarities and differences, and key quotes). I am an exceptional student who achieved an A* in all my A-Level Politics mock exams, as well as in my real A-Level Politics exam this year. Both my classmates and teachers highly trust my work - so much so that I was requested to hand over all my notes to my teachers for their personal use in lesson planning and to provide to students. This document includes: - A set of condensed notes taken directly from the textbook and my class notes which break down an overwhelming amount of content into an easy and accessible summary. I referred exclusively to this set of notes, summaries and posters when revising for all my mock exams and my real A-Level exams, and achieved exceptional results. I hope my hard work can help you to succeed in your Government and Politics A-Level too!
