I feel okay about the exam. I've got a pretty good knowledge of all the case studies, I just hope I'm able to explain all of the geographical processes to the detail that the examiners require.
I'm aiming for an A* and got 59/60 in my coursework.

Well done! Yeah I think I need to revise my case studies in more depth :/ what topics are you doing?
Hello Ive done loads of end of topic tests and mock exams and ive been getting around 62/75 , is that enough for an A*?
62 would be 85%. So, if you could get 62 marks in both your physical and human tests and then get 52+ marks in your coursework - you'd almost certainly get an A*.
The grade boundary for an A* in AQA Geography is usually between 80-85%.

I should mention that there are an extra 9 marks on the human paper for spelling and grammar. So to get that A*, you'd also need to have well written answers - but if you're working at an A* anyway, I wouldn't think that would be too much of an issue.

on the restless earth; i think earthquakes are going to come up and a volcanic eruption will be the case study

Well, it's unlikely that they are going to ask about the same case study in a short few year period - so you might very well be right.
2013's 8 mark question was on a Tsunami case study. 2012's 8 mark question was on ocean trenches and fold mountains. 2011's 8 mark question was on a fold mountain case study (the Alps).
So, just by the process of deduction, there's a limited number of options that could come up.I'm thinking either a volcanic eruption like you said, or a question on a single earthquake in either an LEDC or an MEDC.

Questions about volcanoes have come up so i think we will get questions about how an earthquake occus. There may be one about the mercalli scale or rhicter scale I dont have a clue for water on the land!
