i did comp sci and geography :biggrin:

for geog i'd recommend planning lots of long mark questions (the big ones at the end of each section) to make sure u know the structure (PEEL worked best for me) and have some stats u can use to back up examples. i use physics and maths tutor for literally all of my practice papers, and they also have summary guides for each of the topics which i found were good, esp for sciences. geography is rlly tough bc of the timings (1 minute per mark is brutal TwT) so i'd defo recommend doing some timed practice questions or full papers to make sure u stay on top of it.

for computing, do loooaaadsss of coding practice for the coding paper, there's rlly no other way of improving. for the knowledge paper, do lots of practice papers bc the questions tend to be rlly reptitive between years and they just swap out a few words/ numbers

good luck!! you've got this :]

Heyy! I also do AQA geography and AQA Computer Science!
For geography know your case studies inside out for each paper and as you said do timed practice papers. Also use a site called Internet Geography - they have flashcards notes and quizzes for everything it's really good.

I find computer science in general difficult, but it's more about like understanding how a computer thinks and understanding the processes. There are very limited papers in computer science so I revise it using a site called Seneca.
Have you done your mocks yet?
Hope this helps! 🙂
