What AQA AS Sociology covers, and what it leaves out
AQA AS Sociology is specification 7191, the standalone first-year qualification alongside the 7192 A level. This page holds only what the AS examines: 7 topics across 40 subtopics, 892 active recall questions, starting with Education, Methods in Context and Theory and Methods. The 5 topics kept back for the second year are not shown, so nothing here is content you have not been taught yet.
Starting the second year? The full AQA A-Level Sociology page adds the A2 topics on top of everything here.

Spaced Repetition Schedule
How reviews are timed
Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Sociology revision questions
Common questions about revising AQA AS-Level Sociology. Tap any to open it.
What is on AQA AS Sociology?
7 topics across 40 subtopics, examined as its own qualification, specification 7191. They are all listed on this page, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it. The full topic list is Education, Methods in Context, Theory and Methods, Culture and Identity, Families and Households, Health and more.
Does AS Sociology count towards the full A level?
No. AS was decoupled in England in 2015, so AQA AS Sociology (7191) is a separate qualification and none of its marks carry into the 7192 A level. It is still the same content though, which is why revising it well sets up the second year.
What is the difference between AS and A level Sociology?
AS is the first-year units only. The A level adds 5 further topics, among them Beliefs in Society, Global Development, The Media, and expects you to connect them back to the AS material. Work the AS content here, then move up to the full A level page when you start the second year.
When do you sit AQA AS Sociology?
Normally at the end of Year 12, in the summer series. That gives you one year to memorise 892 questions' worth of material, which is roughly 5 questions a day across an academic year if you start in September.
How should you revise for AS Sociology?
By retrieval, not rereading. Cover the answer, pull it from memory, then check. Levo runs that loop across all 7 AS topics and brings each question back on a spaced schedule, so what you learn in September is still there in June.
Is it worth revising AS content again for the A level?
Yes, and it is the mistake most students make. The A-level papers examine this content again from scratch, and because the AS marks do not carry over, the only thing your first year leaves you with is what you still remember. Keeping it on a spaced schedule through Year 13 costs far less than relearning it.
How many questions are there for AQA AS Sociology?
892, written from the 7192 subject content and grouped into 40 subtopics so you can work one small area at a time rather than a whole topic at once.
Can you use Levo for just the AS year?
Yes. Pick your subject, choose the AS topics on the topic screen, and every mode — the 3-step method, Cram, Blank Blitz, Build It and Test It — works only that material. Add the second-year topics when you get to them.
