    Edexcel AS Geography Unit 1 & 2 Discussion + Material!
    I thought I would make a centralised thread for us all to get our heads together and discuss the two above mention units!

    For Unit 2 I am doing Topic 2 and 4; so that's what I know more about :P

    Here are some useful link for you all to use; the Edexcel website is very poor to use and navigate.

    Edexcel main page for GCE Geography from 2008.

    Syllabubs

    I've also included the PowerPoints our teacher used for going global, I cut out the tasks, and I have found them pretty useful to revise for.

    :wavey:

    Doing Unit 1 this May, we did Unit 2 in Jan and I managed to get full UMS so feel free to ask any questions on that
    I can't figure out a good revision plan for unit 1 as I never know where the "key points" are since the textbook just rambles on.

    Is it just me or does the blue textbook (Philip Allans) have way too much info? I spend a lot of stuff skimming through stuff to see if I actually need to know it..

    Has anyone done any revision on how to structure the 5/6 markers
    and the 10/15 markers at the end of Unit 1 (Section B)?

    Just to let you guys know, discussion of Edexcel afternoon exams isn't allowed until after 4.30am (as the exams are taken in countries other than the UK).
    So you may want to edit/delete your posts otherwise you will get 10 warning points.

    The main thread will probably be unlocked later so lets discuss it there after

    Edit: This is the announcement - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/anno...php?f=83&a=629

    Hey!

    I'm really stressed about unit 2!! .
    Do you recommend like basically stalking the mark schemes and looking at common answers?

    And just knowing case study knowledge?

    I got an A in unit 1 and I really want another A but I find unit 2 so difficult.

    Thanks!!
