AQA GCSE Geography Pre-exam Discussion (13 &amp; 17 June 2011)

I'm doing:
Restless Earth
Water on the Land
Ice on the Land
The Coastal Zone
Changing Urban Environments
Development Gap
Population Change

Yeah same, I'm learning all the case studies. But we have learnt 5 physical topics, but just hate weather, so revising 4 :/ I just write all the case studies over and over again, then it just sticks to my mind. We're basically doing the same topics!

Good luck, there's so much to remember (...well, slightly less than history though! :tongue:

)

I got 52-53-ish. I can't remember the exam number but it was 1 mark above an A*. Do you have the grade boundaries?

Well grade boundaries for last year were 52=A*, but obviously this year's one is unknown. But I'd assume something similar :smile:
