OCR Paper 1 is called ‘Introducing socialisation, culture and identity’. Section A covers compulsory questions on this topic, and Section B covers three options: ‘Media’, ‘Youth subcultures’ and ‘Families and relationships’.
Paper 1 is worth 50% of the marks for the AS. You are allowed 1 hour 30 minutes for the paper, and a total of 75 marks are available. That means, on average, you can spend 1 minute and 12 seconds (1.2 minutes) trying to gain each mark. This gives you a rough idea of how long to spend on each question, although you can sometimes answer shorter questions relatively quickly leaving a little extra time to spend on the longest questions.
