    I am using the specimen as well. And now that you mentioned it, I just realised it never is harder than the actual

    i know what u mean about the data response and essay timing lol.

    im sure you can still get a* if u get 111 in this paper cos we need average of 90 ums over units 3 and 4 right ??
    I got 58 in unit 3 though, I'd need 122/120 in unit 4 :P

    Hey guys, good luck with your exam!

    Btw random question..about unit 1 and 2..do you think that it's possible to try and teach yourself? I'm doing my AS this year and I made the mistake of picking bio instead of this..so how hard would it be to teach yourself those 2 units?

    Thanks
    That is a bit crazy....
    I am currently doing both biology and econ A level and biology is defiantly easier to teach yourself as it is more about learning facts.
    This is being familiar with the essay structures as well as learning all the content - which is WAY bigger.
    Good luck if you do chose to do it, but i'd say stick to bio!!

    Oh right..
    Well I guess i'd be kind of familiar with essay writing as I am also doing english lit and history, so I thought maybe that would help a bit.

    Thanks

    Which topics do we need to know case studies for guys (i.e. when the essay question says "Using a named example")? And also do we need to know lots of stats and relevant examples to pop into essays and possibly data response? Cheersss

    It means exactly what it says. You select a country that you have memorised statistics for or have done further reading on and answer the question using that information. I hope that helps. Mark schemes for those type of questions are likely to be vague.
