    would anyone mind explaining what a co-operative is regarding the housing provided by a housing association which it talks about on page 18 of the booklet. I don't understand what this means so I'm finding it a bit difficult to define the key term!

    Thank you!

    Really? That's weird, I think someone else had the same problem yesterday. TSR is hatin' on me atm.

    I don't have a mark scheme, no... but from the mock exam we did in class (so this is very unofficial!), in section C where you have to make your decision:
    - 6 marks should be 3 points explained, with a balanced argument making sure to talk about sustainability and the effect of your choice on local people. Try to use the booklet to refer to specific figures and/or values if relevant.

    - 9 marks should aim for around 5 separate points. It should have a good structure with lots of fancy geographical words in it. Your answer should weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of your choice and contain examples.

    In both the 6 and 9 mark questions you're assessed on QWC, so your punctuation, grammar, use of specialist terminology etc. should be of a good standard to guarantee full marks.

    Someone posted this link - http://edexcelbgeog.ning.com/forum/t...orking-booklet - and if you scroll down, the word document someone posted on there is quite helpful.

    Hope this helps - again, it is not official, so don't take it as gospel!

    *attempts to quite you again*

    Thank you!!! That is actually really helpful just to have some kind of guidance at all

    I'm not sure why it won't let me, just when I press quote, the only part that shows is the ([QUOTE=Paramore) part at the beginning x

    I'll rep you when I get on my computer <3. (stupid iPad won't give rep) x
