    I am! I don't find it too hard, but thinking of how to revise is! How are you revising? Remembering all the case study facts is really hard though

    I'm doing it, and haven't started revising yet, but I'm going to school on Thursday for a revision session, so I'll start after that. When I was revising for assessments, spider diagrams and bubble maps were pretty good, and I used a lot of colour So nervous for this exam though, really want an A*

    I need to revise for this as well as maths, so far all i've done is maths :eek:
    I find the rivers and processes part most difficult , I just don’t get the valley changes etc :confused:, does anyone have any revision notes on it? but I have found a revision guide online with some good relevant points if you’d like I can send it to you

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    I'm taking it.

    Ugh I hate the papers so much. The questions can be so misleading - especially for skills.

    I haven't got much notes on GIS, does anyone have anything about advantages on that sort of thing?

    I'm doing. I really hate the papers, they're just so ambigious.

    I think the Jan 2012 papers are on the edexcal website

    Just to reassure people: whereas units 2 and 3 need 45 +/50 for an A*, unit 1 only required 38/50 last year! And is usually 40 or so
