GCSE Geography help?

My Unit 2 geography exam is tomorrow, I haven't done any revision and I find it too hard to revise it, it doesn't seem to stick, I got an A* in my coursework, think i just about passed unit 1, can anybody help me out here? (I don't want smart arse comments telling me I should have started sooner, I know, I tried to but couldn't)
