Hi,
Can anyone help me with how to revise for unit 4b, I don't really know how to due to it being a unique case study unit and therefore the case study changing it year. I know I can revise the basic topics that appear each year through the use of revision guides but how can I practice my exam technique when there's no real past papers i can asses for this unit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Wow thank you they are really helpful, did you just make them up on the spot? I am only really revising so far by reading through the revision guide and writing down key terms and definitions.
