    Okay, here are all the key word definitions (given to me by my teacher) x
    This is really good! Thanks!

    Only thing I would say is that there are a few words missing, on page 11 of the booklet it seems Edexcel have been a bit sneaky and put some words in italics within Figure 9b - managerial, professional, semi-skilled and unskilled.

    But still, many many many thanks for uploading this!

    oops, sorry, just realised they are on there. Embarrassing! Hahaha!

    no problem! Hope everyone gets the payback in terms of grades from their revision, this is my last exam so I'm putting every last bit of effort into it, it'll be worth it!
    It is the same with me! Although, I am not too worried about the exam, most of it seems like common sense.

    You still took quite a lot of options, I'm taking the most you can at my school,
    11 (and a half, because of short course R.E)
    English lit, English lang, Maths (normal), Maths IGCSE, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, ICT DIDA (counts as 2 GCSE's) and R.E (half)
    I would like 6A*, 3A, and 2A/B (borderline)
    We're quite the same x

    I didn't know there was an offical mock. My school just made one asking for the same skills as past papers but rephrasing the questions.

    Maybe you can get your teacher to have a look to see if she can find it, or just look at your answers for general hints? :confused:
