    Oh snap! Im hoping that grade boundaries dont go up this year, so we stay on a*s! Oh gawd, ive barely even begun how about you? The aqa gcse book is really good and detailed i find though- so fingers crossed and no it isnt- unfortunatly i have chemistry unit 1 on friday :rolleyes:, but then thats it no more GCSES. It seems like they have all gone soooo fast!

    I know! All of me and my friends were talking about how fast they're over...I can't actually believe I will have finished by monday..it's crazy!

    I am using CGP book for revision, its perfect; since everything I am studying (all 3 topics) have been condensed into 27 pages Because I get bored so easily reading the normal textbooks since topics can stretch onto like 50 pages:/ I have finished one topic so far, now I have two to go

    Oh god, what a shame! But do you know what, apparently most people found the june 2012 paper much harder than our one so the grade boundaries may move down - in which case you may find yourself scraping an a*

    does anyone have any idea about what case studies might come up for development gap, population change and changing urban environments?
