GEOG 2 FIELD WORK QUESTION..
Can you interchange between the different hypothesis' throughout the paper.. as in if a question is about collecting primary data and then there's a question about say.. presentatio of data or analysis of data, do you have to stick with the same hypothesis.. e.g channel width increasing downstream.
Please help! <3

No u dont have to. It is totally up to you. To be honest it would impress the examiner if you could talk about different data collection. xx

Does anyone else have the feeling that our paper 2 exam is going to be really hard, seeing as our paper 1 was so easy?

Any tips of the second part of the skills exam?

How can you ensure you max out your marks when speaking about your aims, hypothesis, evaluation, etc?

Hey does anyone know how to answer this question which is 'apparently' from a geog unit 2 past paper (although i can't find it anywhere :frown:

)

"Describe how and why you used different maps (or photos) in your investigation? (5 marks)"

If anyone knows how to answer this & get all 5 marks please please please reply
cause I have no idea what they are looking for and I'm worried in case a similar question comes up in the real thing!!

Thank you!

it really depends on what your aim was, what was it?

they're limited on the questions they can ask you in section B, so do all the past papers and check it against the mark scheme, make model answers then basically memorise them! all they'll do in the exam is ask the same questions but worded differently!
