The only past paper for this syllabus is the sample paper. Not sure how different the previous geography spec was.

Edit: Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but what I'm doing is just making quick and concise notes under each of the 6 topics that make up physical geography.

I've done 4 of them just today, two pages each, so it's easily do-able. Plus, you can skim over them on Monday when the exam comes. I suppose I'll do the same for human geography, except maybe not since it is way easier than physical and I am extremely lazy.

4.a. Describe water access in South America. (2)

I was really surprised that the case studies were only worth 2 marks, it made learning all the facts seem a bit pointless. It was much more explanation of processes really. Do you want to both post our answers so we can compare?

I don't think this is the same exam because mine was only physical and there was no 'urban' part.
