Got my exam March 8th. Anyone got any good links for revision?

Mine too. Where are you doing yours? Mine's in Northenden City College
Greater Manchester (my bellie's full of buterflies ...). I thought the
RHS would have had some kind of bite size revision thingy just like the
GCSE )

I'm spending the day with another student, having made list upon list
of 10 x spring bedding flowers, summer, herbaceous, then the botany
stuff ... It's the only way to get in into our heads! This 8th March is
the last of the old RHS course. They've started a new one last
September. We will be from the old school, you and I )


Yes the last of the 'old' system Because of that our tutors think they will
just 'lift' the questions from the past 5 years papers.

We had a mock exam a week ago and were given the 2004 paper. At the time
(and still the case) I haven't done anything other than attend 60% of the
classes. I hadn't even looked at the past exam papers.

I mainly joined the class for the day out. I have a background of reading
gardening books and magazines for 30 years, though only finally got a proper
garden and the time to do some gardening 7 years ago.

I'm doing the course at Bishop Burton College near Beverley in East
Yorkshire. Unfortunately the RHS Advanced which they have been doing
recently ends this year, so I don't have the option to carry on.

At the beginning of the course our tutor told us that there was a job for
anyone who was interested in writing the definitive text book. In other
words there is a dearth of material available specifically for the course.
