Hello im doing this board too, ive decided to learn biodiversity, energy and tech fix. We believe that the synpotic this year might be water, but not a 100% sure

I'm revising water (probably the synoptic), energy and superpower geographies :smile: We haven't learnt tech fix or bridging the development gap yet but I will revise one of those as a spare one.

Yeah I went through it and I kinda guessed it would be water but I really dont want it to be because I really like that topic I know I'd do well quite well on it if it wasnt the syoptic.
Hows revision getting on? xx

I've done bridging the development gap its really interesting but im not a fan of some of the questions so.. but biodiversity is pretty good for me because the questions are decent and so is energy. Im currently learning superpowers and thats looking like an option. My teachers said revise 4 in case a question is ridiculously dodgy.

Im a bit behind as I've only just finished revising biodiversity... my school doesnt teach tech fix properly, they teach it synoptically so I wont be touching that.

I thought everyone did tectonics, well Im obviously doing it but my school hasn't actually stated teaching it. I mean we went to a conference if that counts...

The topics your school can pick from are:

Tectonics
Cold environments
Consuming rural landscapes - leisure and tourism
Pollution and human health at risk
The world of cultural diversity
Life on the margins - the food supply problem

We've only just finished learning tectonics with one of our teachers and we've been learning it for 5 months. I'm sure they didn't need to drag it out that long though, we were just watching DVD's for the last three months.

Has anyone got any good notes on biodiversity..?
what textbooks are you guys using for revision
Having made a list of previous synoptic topics I thought it would be the technological fix as the 2016 synoptic. Oh well I am learning tech fix , energy security and water conflics.
I do have the questions from june 2015 as i got my script back. I messed up on the synoptic section. Section A i got 7/10 12/15 7/10 12/15. Will post a pic of questions in the morning
Heres 2015 questions
I DONT HAVE THE RESOURCE BOOKLET SO THE 10 MARKERS ARENT WORTH DOING

This book is a beast for this exam, all the case studies are withing them and are known to the examiners.
