Big day tomorrow for all Scottish Geographers. I hope you all get the grades you deserve. Fingers crossed for some good papers at all levels. Use the tags at the side here for some last minute revision but get to bed early and be refreshed. Geography exams are exhausting if you tackle them properly. DON'T FINISH EARLY! If in doubt - guess and write more.
