GCSE AQA Geography A (Physical, Unit 1) (14th June)

I reckon Montserrat with come up for Restless Earth and maybe flood defences for Water on the Land.

Well.. A volcano may come up but they are never specific on Case Study questions which is always good..

The question is more like: "For a volcano you have studied, explore...", meaning you can use whatever example you like. AQA can't expect all centres to teach the same Case Study

Oh dear You clearly haven't learnt/read "in example".. if you like, I will list every diagram you could be asked but I am sure you don't want to read that.. Of course they aren't repeating exact questions, I am not stupid but:

"Draw a constructive plate boundary" or something is very possible.. So stop getting sarcastic with me

I have same topics too. Yes! I think they're coming to 8 case studies. My case studies are, Earthquake: Haiti & Japan, Tsunami: Indo-Australian plate, Floods: Bangladesh & Bostcastle (UK), Volcanoes: Monserrat, Ecosystems, Tropical rainforest Amazon, Sahara desert, Nevada desert, deciduous forest Bidford UK.

waiti, that's more than 8 right? 😝

Okayy don't bite my head off, pipe down mate.
And I did read it; it was prior to the other points you made so it was imminent that I had read it.

True, but I know only one case study about volcanoes!
They will most likely come up this year though.

I got told by my teacher write 4 then fully explain them then you'll get the full 8 marks. But that doesn't make sense because in the mark scheme even a perfect answer won't get full marks, plus when I've counted up some of the points, there are about 8.

Timing is always a big issue for me in every exam. I made the same mistake as you in my Year 10 R.E exam... I knew everything but I write neat meaning I was too slow...

So, for each question how many minutes should you spend do you think?

I'm so annoyed at my teacher, today he said if a case study comes up asking you about the short term/long term responses of an earthquake, make sure you put what caused the earthquake... That honestly is wrong. Isn't it?

Sure but next time, please don't go off on one when I offer advice.. It does no harm to say; "By the way those won't come up" rather than be so brash

Good Luck tomorrow

Really? Who told you that? My teacher said always refer to countries as MEDC and LEDC because it's advanced vocabulary...

And what do you mean by the names? Tbh, I don't even pay attention to the names...

So for the case studies does anyone think these predictions are 'rightish'.

Restless earth a volcano
Coasts a marsh habitat e.g. Keyhaven
Rocks quarry

???????????????????????????

One of the teachers at my school told us in a lecture, but he doesn't teach GCSE he only teaches A-Level (and writes the A-Level textbook!). Probably best to stick to your guns and just say MEDC/LEDC.

As for the names thing, it doesn't just apply to Geography I mean subjects like Maths where they say "PersonX goes into a shop..." they always use a mixture of names from different races to "promote multiculturalism." I have support for multiculturalism but it's just pathetic political correctness on the part of the exam boards!

I'm just going to butt right in here.

I did this module last year and got a D. I stupidly decided to pay for a resit, I absolutely detest Geography, it's the stupidest choice I've ever made in my life.

My question is, what are the most important case studies to know? I will be doing "The Restless Earth", "Challenge of Weather and Climate" and "Water on the Land".

I haven't touched my notes in over a year and basically decided I was going to fail Geography so that I could focus on my other subjects.

I've now decided to just give it a go. I can learn quite a fair amount of information in quite a short time (I managed to learn a decent amount of background information and context for twelve poems a few hours before my English Literature exam) so what case studies should I primarily focus on?

for restless earth a volcano maybe pinatubo dont do the other topics!!
