Welcome to today’s daily sociology MCQ. This one focuses on social class differences in educational achievement, a topic that sits right at the centre of the education unit and comes up again and again in revision, classroom discussion and exam questions. The aim is to help you revisit the key ideas in a manageable way, so you can check what you already know and spot which areas need a bit more attention.

Across this daily quiz series, I’ll be covering different topics from both the AQA A-level Sociology and Cambridge OCR A-level Sociology specifications, so you can build your knowledge steadily over time. Today’s questions focus on key ideas such as material deprivation, cultural deprivation, cultural capital, and inside- and outside-school explanations.
