    I took up geography in a year and got a B1 without killing myself
    I learned about 40 essays two weeks before the exam and got caught out in 1 only section considering it was a difficult paper.

    theres alot of easy marks to be gotten in geography. The short questions are easy and the project was a great place to get marks only lost 4 marks in it myself.

    theres maps and reading graphs which account for a good number of marks.


    hope this helped, didnt do ag science:)

    What I realised from viewing the scripts and why i didnt get an A was the essays under a page were only getting around 20. But the essays I wrote a page and a quarter i got full marks in (thats the 30 markers)


    the option in the back of the paper needs to be 3 and a bit.
