Basically we get given a topic list for each component-(we also get given a booklet with all notes) and yh we just used that to predict what will come up- (my predictions could be completely wrong tho)!. Also yh sure feel free to text me!

my teachers also saying that class is due another go for the 20 marker but yeah they haven’t asked a question on age yet so it’s pretty likely

How likely do u think it is for them to ask a 20 marker like the 2020 format where u would talk about all of CAGE?
