Re: Edexcel Geography B Unit 2 People and the Planet 18/06/12Ohhhhhhh(Original post by Me123456789)
I'm doing OCR, but I have no idea how to revise... or how to balance the revision for this and maths
Um do you know all your case studies to learn and keywords??
What i'm doing is im doing 4 hours of revision a day (2 hours geog + 2 hours maths)
Unless i pop into school to revise but on sunday night i will revise geog and on monday night i will revise maths
If that makes sence...? -

Re: Edexcel Geography B Unit 2 People and the Planet 18/06/12I wouldn't say it's late, or say that you're stupid. I hardly know my case studies either...(Original post by Me123456789)

Do you know everything else, like keywords etc.. Except for the case studies? As long as you start revising now, you should know your stuff by the exam date
Are you on study leave?
If you are, then why don't you make an appointment with your geography teacher to revise with you in the hours that your geography lessons are

I think I'll leave maths for now and do geog, I'll continue with maths at night, i need a whole day for geog anyway, plus i cant revise anything except for maths at night.

Re: Edexcel Geography B Unit 2 People and the Planet 18/06/12Yeah, which ever one you feel needs more work on, do it!(Original post by Me123456789)

Indeed, if you revise geography today, you will know a lot more than what you did, but take breaks and don't revise for too long! It will go through one ear and out the other!!
Im sure you will do fine, just learn your case studies and the rest is pretty straight forward.
Ask for some past papers and some 6/4 mark questions (these are the ones that let everyone down)
And just PRACTICEPRACTICEPRACTICE!!!!

Although I'm only starting revision today. I think the exam is pretty straightforward. Have you got the second geography exam on the 25th about the olympics too?
oooo i think it's gonna be half easy half hard

Re: Edexcel Geography B Unit 2 People and the Planet 18/06/12My teacher keeps telling me the Unit 3 exam will be really hard, although we live close to the olympic site too o.o;;
Apparently our averages last year were 94% for Unit 1, 88% for Unit 2 and 78% for Unit 3 Dx
Oh wells. .
I'm going to start revising for unit 2 today, but i'm having trouble too since I have statistics on monday too
I really don't understand the UK point system thing for migrants :s -

Re: Edexcel Geography B Unit 2 People and the Planet 18/06/12it's 25%. every unit we do is 25%. so the DME, Dynamic Planet, People and the Planet and our controlled assessment will all add up to our grade(Original post by JacquelineJoy)
i have statistics aswell on monday and im struggling to revise for this geography exam. do you know how much of our grade it is worth ?
