    I got d3 in Mock...but did field study this time. I need an honour in this so i'm screwed if i feck up!

    If you got all the short q's and field study correct would that add up to an honour? Is an honour 55%? I forget ugh:confused:

    I've loads to do too but im going over Biomes now, then a quick scan over Physical which hopefully won't be too foreign to me and then of course gonna make notes on Ireland, India and the Mezz under primary, sec, and tertiary.

    Remember, most of us probably have at least 15% already with our field study!!!!!

    so would 4 paragraphs on each heading in the biome essay be cool?

    Id advice you all to do your global.inter first (or what ever your doing) then maybe 1 other question then do short questions as a kinda break for yourself then plough into the rest..time is short in geography...dont go over 1/2 hour a question!!!

    Two pages definately wouldn't be enough for the biome question. 3 at a minimum. 24 SRP's needed

    Lets say I got 15% in my project. How many marks would i need to get a d1. If I got the short questions and the biome and one of them graph questions right would that be enough.

    Well of course it is... if a question on Biomes comes up, you use your desert biome!
