    Damn you should check out the OCR textbook, it's really good. Don't know if it would be worth buying it though; depends on the difference in specification. What is Unit 1 about?

    I'm doing unit 3 first
    It's about volcano, eq, mass movement hazards/monitoring/prediction, mining, waste disposal, water supply, and engineering geology.

    I think I do have a few photocopied bits and pieces from the OCR textbook but for some topics I have bugger all

    Sounds like you're doing some of the A2 Unit 4 mixed in with a little bit of Unit 1. May be worth getting then if you have found the bits useful from the OCR textbook but then again you plan on dropping it at the end of this year don't you?

    Went over biology notes and did a past paper this morning. Went out for a bit. And have done 5 stats past papers since. Probability that my brain has turned to mush? 1.0000
