Same here! Well, I have two exams in the middle of those two weeks but I'm really glad as this year my exams seem a lot more spaced out which I like! :biggrin:
Although from my last day of school to yesterday I had two weeks of revision for both Chemsitry and Biology so that's good. :yep:

How have your other exams gone? Good luck to you!! :smile:

Same! You'll be fine - last year I panicked too much and didn't feel in 'the zone' so this year I've decided to keep calm (which I did in my Chem paper)
I like Geography as well it's a good subject. :smile:
What essays do you think will come up in Biology?
I am worst at Biosphere and Atmosphere questions. But I'm not even going to look at any notes until after the Biology exam.

Im doing River Basin Management and Development and health :smile: I absolutely love Development and Health though its just a bunch of little ways to remember all of the things for like Malaria and reasons for development between countries but im dreading lithosphere I have a feeling it will be coast stuff that comes up :frown:

I like Development & Health as well! I really hope it isn't coastal for Lithosphere :frown:

Hope the rest of your exams go well!

good luck to you! :biggrin:

Probably coasts. Looking at the past papers, seemingly coasts haven't actually been in Rural Land Resources since 2010, so the SQA may want to put these back in this year.

​You never know, it might be upland features for a fourth year in a row, predictions aren't the best thing to focus on with the SQA's tricks.
Done higher geography last year and absolutely loved it, one of my easiest subjects because I had a great teacher!

Wasn't last years paper upland or coastal, I think I noticed that after I finished the question.

Yeah, having a great teacher helps, especially if you're crashing the subject like me...

Just went to check again and yeah, coastal features is mentioned in part c of the question on environmental conflicts, hadn't noticed that part. It's just that if I was doing that I would probably just continue in the same fashion as the first two parts mentioning upland features.

Geography is one of them subjects where coming from int 2 does help a lot because it's basically a lot of the same questions :tongue:

And I did too, it was sneaky of the SQA but not sneaky in a bad way or anything :lol:
