Thanks man really appreciate it! It's going okay nearly finished notes on chapter 9 but atm im just doing as many past papers as I can. I'm not sure how I'm going to tackle the essays so hoping that my other answers will make up for my rubbish essay skills. Quite risky but idk how to improve on it there's just sooo much to remember loll... By the way do you know how I can get a hold of more papers cos the aqa website is quite rubbish lol
