Essentially, examine the flaws of primary product dependency.

Talk about the the volatile nature of the commodities market.

Runs risk of Nigeria's Labour force becoming too specialised. Workforce won't develop or become more educated.

Talk about the corruption in Nigeria, which means that the revenue from oil exports isn't always used appropriately.

Benefits the current account (inflow of exports)

Evaluation,etc. Probably more points.

If 73/100 is roughly 108UMS what will 120UMS be?

I don't know if its accurate, but I use this formula to find out the raw marks needed for full UMS in any unit.

raw marks for A* + (Total raw marks * 7.5%)

It always gets a very close value to the actual raw marks needed.

To find full UMS first the difference between the A and A* then add the difference onto the A* boundary.

For example if an A was 61/100 and A* was 71/100, then the difference would be 10 marks. This would mean you would need 81 for 100 UMS :smile:

I know exactly how you feel! resitting this exam cause i got a C last time round...And need an A aswell, but i have C4 to revise for as well... I'd say essay plans are the way forward for a day or two..and then make sure that you can actually expand your points after that..Thats gonna be my technique at least!

I did really well at AS but I've gone down hill this year, didn't do that great in unit 3 either. Had a 2 and a half hour geography exam yesterday and the bulk of that was Globalisation and Development and inequalities so I'm alright for those topcis in terms of case studies but I'm rubbish at knowing what stuff to link and how to expand

Anyone got suggestions about what may come up? How is the best way to revise?

Is it best to pick a topic and really focus on it.

I am strong and development and globalisation so should I really just revise those hard as a question is guaranteed to come up on that surely?
