    I didn't see a thread so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.

    I'm DREADING Watery World, I feel as if my case studies aren't detailed enough...

    How prepared is everyone?

    Not much, got case studies ok for the other topic but not for watery world. I have walkers crisps, 3gorges dam, Bangladesh and the Colorado river. I don't feel as if I know enough to answer a long question on them

    I'm feeling generally ok but it's the case studies that will get me. I really need to go over them in more detail! Any tips on how to get the full 6 marks? I always find it hard to get higher than 4/5 :/

    As many stats and figures as possible. Locate the case study you're talking about. Also organise your answer well as your English is considered

    I'm doing Tectonic Landscapes and Watery World. For the 6 markers, male sure you include examples and try to make 3 well explained points good luck!

    How was the paper?

    I found the timing to be MUCH better than the skills/challenges paper so I had more time to answer the 6 mark questions. Yay 75% out of the way!

    Thought it was great and completely agree about timing! In January I was pretty rushed for time with only 1 or 2 minutes spare but I had about 5+ yesterday! I've completed it all now
