Here's a tip, do the biome. Guarenteed question.

You can't just steal someone else's work. You must research the topic yourself and understand it. Then you must know how to structure your answer. Copying will get you nowhere!

So is soil, really..

The thing about the biome question is it could be quite difficult this year.
For example, on the mock this year (DEB) the biome question was about Human interaction with a biome- both positive & negative- as opposed to just the characteristics of a biome which most people would've learned.
Anyway.

I have a soil characteristics essay, but there's no way I'm typing it all up (Gahhhh- 4 pages long!)

However, it's structured like this:

Introduction.
Paragraph 1: Texture
Paragraph 2: Structure
Paragraph 3: pH
Paragraph 4: Organic Matter/ Humus
Paragraph 5: Colour
Paragraph 6: Moisture & Air Content
Conclusion.

Good luck!
Don't be afraid to use the internet to find more SRPs.

Also, I wouldn't advise against casting an eye over a specific soil type, like Brown Earts or Aridisols. Might come up.

I have large, sloppy writing and tend to be fairly verbose.
But yes.

Youre gonna write 4 pages in ~32minutes?

If you pretty much know exacly what you want to say, four pages in half an hour, isn't that bad.

.. well I managed it last year, so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do the same again.

Just came across this.
It's a sample answer on biomes. No idea how reliable it is, but if you're stuck..
