MCQ OCR Cambridge Sociology Eliminator: Can you get the highest score on our Youth Subcultures Quiz?

A close-up view of a digital grid of squares in various shades of blue, purple, and red, creating an abstract illuminated pattern.

This interactive activity is designed for Cambridge OCR A Level Sociology: Youth subcultures. It fits the OCR specification because students are required to study how youth culture and subcultures are formed through different theories, how subcultures relate to social class, gender, ethnicity and hybridity, and why some young people participate in deviant subcultures, including the role of the media in deviance amplification, folk devils and moral panics. OCR’s delivery guide also stresses using illustrative examples of subcultures to explore these issues, so a competitive quiz format works well for checking knowledge across the whole topic.

This quiz uses a sudden-death format: students answer up to 20 questions, but one wrong answer ends the run. It includes a countdown timer, an 80s arcade-style initials entry system with a maximum of three initials, and a browser-based leaderboard that stores the best runs on that device. The question set is built around the OCR Youth subcultures content and the kinds of studies and examples highlighted in OCR guidance, including theory, deviant subcultures, ethnicity, hybridity and media reactions.

About the author

The Sociology Guy is a pseudonym originally used by Craig Gelling when he was working in an FE College to provide an outlet for his frustrations with how he was expected to teach and strict rules around intellectual property in his former employer. The Sociology Guy name came from his early years as a supply teacher, where students would often not know his name and ask for ‘the sociology guy’ when coming to the staff room. Initially set up in 2018 as an anonymous You Tube channel, Craig has since written, recorded and presented for many different organisations and education providers. His purpose is to try and make sociology both accessible and understandable for all students and support teachers to inspire the next generation of sociologists.
