Pressure groups

The one-page orientation. The spec sub-sections, the three most-asked exam questions, and the default line of argument. Read this first.

Scrollytelling tour through the topic: insider vs outsider, sectional vs cause, the Wyn Grant tiers, the 5 methods, contemporary examples, and the wider ecosystem (think tanks, lobbyists, corporations, media).

Mixed-tier MCQ (concepts, examples and analytical questions in one filterable deck) plus the flashcard deck. The original 4-separate-files plan turned out cleaner as 1 filterable file - that's a finding for our assessment.

Past pressure-group questions with the three-column treatment: question + mark scheme + exemplar + source + essay plan + writing exercise. Try this LAST — after the recall and analytical layers.

Every pressure-group concept the spec touches, with plain-English definition and Edexcel mark-scheme vocab. Insider, outsider, sectional, cause, lobbying, pluralism, elitism, the Wyn Grant tiers.

Named pressure groups and case studies with one-line significance + Wyn Grant tier classification. BMA, JSO, ClientEarth, Stonewall, Stellantis (de facto core insider 2024), IEA, ASH, Greensill, Marcus Rashford 2020.

Twelve sentence stems testing the analytical-commit move. Topic-general — not tied to a single question. Drill the one-sentence argument that drives a paragraph forward.

Five paragraph drills covering the three question types pressure groups attract: influence-based (Q2a essay), source-questions (Q1b), pressure-groups-vs-other-influences (Q2a/Q3). Complete the rebuttal.
