Ideas in Context 2011
The Ideas in Context papers are very different from your other exams. Some weeks before you sit the paper you will be given a copy of the "pre-release material": articles that are linked to the units you have studied. You need to make sure you understand these articles, including all the key words and concepts, inside out so that you can answers questions based on their content.
Below you will find copies of the "pre-release material", some possible questions, and anything else we feel might help. Remember, if you need help ask your teacher!
