I have been getting around 21 and 22 out of 25 on every topic which adds up to around 63/75. Is that enough for an A*?

Hello!
They're fantastic scores (I'm doing this unit and would love to get them results!)
However, the chief examiner has said 70/90 is generally the average for an A* but don't forget there's a 40 mark essay so you have the potential to get loads more marks on that question!

Hello!

My best advice is to not panic ok, I always find that my past papers I do before exams are appalling and then in the exam and don't do as badly!
But for improvements, try and look where it is you're losing the marks; is it because you're not getting the key points and not getting enough information down, or is it because the way you're writing it doesn't precisely fit the spec?
Once you've sorted this out, it will give you time to work out where your revision is best focused!

I hope it goes really really well for you, last year I thought I'd completely failed the exam, but I came out with a B so that was good haha!

Hi! I've got the same exam as you (except I'm doing Challenge of weather and Climate and Living World along with the Coastal Zone). My main advice for the coastal zone/any component really is to make sure that you know your case studies (including specific evidence). From there in long answer questions you know you can back up your answer up with facts and then elaborate from there......

Good luck!!
