A-Level Politics — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level Politics?

In a typical course order the first year covers UK Politics and UK Government, and the second covers Comparative Politics (USA) and Political Ideas. The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.

What does A-Level Politics cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: UK Politics, UK Government, Comparative Politics (USA) and Political Ideas. Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level Politics tutoring take?

It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
