    OCR GCSE Geography B
    Got a bit of a problem. Our teacher has got us to learn all of the sub-topics with case studies,but I was told today at a revision session that you only need to know one sub-topic from each topic as there will be one on each.Anyone know what you're supposed to learn?

    In each topic, there are 2 sub-topics (eg Natural disasters splits into tectonic disasters and climatic) and there will be a question on each, BUT you will only be asked to answer ONE of the questions.

    Does that mean we can get away with just learning the climatic stuff and not the tectonic stuff, or vice versa?

    That's not necessarily true - no mention of this pattern has been mentioned in the specification or anywhere on the OCR website and, whilst it's unlikely, both of the questions could be on the same sub-topic or more likely each question will have a mixture of both sub-topics.

    We have been told to revise 5/6 sub-topics at least to ensure you can cover the whole paper... Don't know ow that adds up though?? I'm just going to do 3 very detailed and the other 3 in not as much detail but still enough to do well

    How is everyone revising tomorrow?

    That's the pattern I've seen on all the past papers I've seen
