    You've done mocks? We were told there weren't any
    Basically you have to answer questions on the booklet like "study figure 4 and show the characteristics of the population". Or whatever, and then there's a big question at the end where you choose the best option for something based on the options at the back of the booklet

    EDIT: seriously... why the neg for this!?

    Erm... Nope . I think someone told me they were like 6 markers but you have to have 1-2 extra points and make sure it's fully explained/developed

    That wasn't a teacher though, just another student.... If someone can find a previous mark scheme, we can probably work it out from that?

    P.s: Hiiii!!!

    Where is everyone getting their key definitions from cos our teacher said we had to find out ourselves and I'm not too sure where to look.

    We were told to do that, but the our teacher gave us a list
    Basically I googled them, you don't need to know specific definitions though, just as long as you understand what the word/phrase means

    what is everyone revising for this? Or do you need to actually revise? I know everything you need is going to be in the booklet, so is anyone revising stuff in specific?
    I got a B in the mock we did, but i want an A. It's a weird paper tbh i'd rather do another module than this kind of paper

    Basically, most people are just practicing the last part of the exam, where you actually make the decisions (based on the options at the back of the booklet) because the rest of the exam is just comprehension x
