I'm doing it as well. I reckon it'll be either: 1. Miller-Urey. or 2. On the use of plastic bags made of polyethene. Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of using polyethene when making plastic bags and what impact does it have on the environment and that.

Have you started revision? I'm quite good at Chemistry (A* standard during this year's controlled assessments and that on C2) but I wasn't here last year when C1 was taught, just moved from Barcelona last summer. I'm starting revision today, I was looking for some notes online but I can't find any? Do you know of any good revision notes that cover pretty much all the topics? I was also looking for a thread where this was discussed to see how other people feel about the exam. Haven't done any past-papers (not full ones, just random questions), is it going to be hard? :frown:

Also doing English Language on the 4th, Biology on the 5th and Physics on the 13th; these last two and Chemistry for Science A.

Good luck! :smile:

Got the CGP revision guides for all 3 sciences! I'm using them and checking with the specification to see if they cover what it says and it does! I'm onto past papers as well, thanks!
