    Hey guys, I received my SOR raw marks. At the bottom of the PDF file, it says that my raw examination mark is 38/50. But I calculated all the numbers in the column and calculated 39.5/50. This means I can appeal right, and perhaps go up an extra 2 marks? :o

    Could anyone tell me a good website to study for geographic skills like calculating area density etc? My teachers don't provide us with much practice for skills, so apart from the BOS site, is there any other place that runs through the skills area for geography?
