GCSE Edexcel B Geography - Unit 1 - Tuesday 24th May 2016

predictions please!

has anyone got any predictions based on past papers?

I'm quite scared about this exam... I done the 2014/2015 papers for practice and judging by those, I think this year might be difficult Though, from the year 2013 down, the papers were actually quite easy!!! It was only until 2014, the questions just became increasingly harder in my opinion..

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!

I'm really worried for geography tomorrow! It will either go one way or the other! How are you feeling about it?

Here are some compact, note-form revision guides I have spent all afternoon making:

Not looking forward to this at all

Could someone do me a huge one and tell me what washlands are and the benefits/costs of them?

I'm so scared about tomorrow, please help.

I'll try to help?

Please, I'm completely exhausted from my Literature exam today that I can't focus on my revision guide all that well.

e.g. For a named volcanic eruption event, outline the primary and secondary impacts.

Example:

Named example: Soufriere Hills volcanic eruption, Montserrat 1995-1997.
For the volcanic eruption that occurred at the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat between 1995 and 1997 there were many primary and secondary impacts. The volcano is a composite volcano, meaning the lava erupted was viscous and explosive and there was a pyroclastic flow.
The primary impacts were that 2/3 of the island was covered in volcanic ash and 23 people were killed as a result of volcanic ash and pyroclastic flow. Also, ½ of the island migrated to the North and the capital Plymouth was left as a ghost town. In addition, ports and airports closed and hospitals and schools were destroyed.
The secondary impacts were that people endured harsh living conditions in the north. Also, ports and airports remained closed and tourism declined, with a few people only visiting to see the volcano. In addition, many people emigrated and the population declined by 8,000 from 12,000 to 4,000. Finally, a positive impact was that the volcanic ash improved the soil fertility, which increased the farmland productivity.


Hope this helps, good luck for tomorrow!

Please, I'm completely exhausted from my Literature exam today that I can't focus on my revision guide all that well.

I know, I had two exams today, literature and R.E. I think it may be a good idea for you to call it a day and rest and then in the morning you can revise as the exam is in the afternoon.

Think I had the same exams as you today - Geography B AQA tomorrow - had no idea what to revise and I'm starting to feel worried about it! I had a quick look at Coastal things but I suppose anything could come up within that topic

I feel exactly the same. It will either go extremely well or it will go extremely bad. I feel so stressed

Hyrdological cycle
Define something
Biomes eg rainforest
Coastal retreat case study
Ermm management methods?
Structure of a volcanoe
Tsunami? Haven't seen that in the recent papers
How about you guys?

if your controlled assessment is on Coasts, does this mean coasts definitely won't come up in the SDME tomorrow?
