Geography GCSE Edexcel A Exam

Anyone doing it? My exam is on next Monday (4th of June) and Monday 11th June. I made notes before hand but I'm not really too sure how to revise. I've finished all my exams except for those 2 (Paper 3 and 4H).

How are you guys revising for it? And any tips please? :biggrin:

yep i got the same geo exam as u. tbh if u allocate most revision time on ur case studies, ur guaranteed 50-60% of marks because 50-60% of the 3H paper is reli about case study questions which are worth a lot. also just go thru ur diagrams for river/glacial/coastal processes etc cos i think we'll hav to draw a lot this exam. u knw the grade boundary for an A* is only around 79%!

I thought Paper 4H is about the case studies o.O and thanks for the tips. Well I never got an A* before =.= I only got as much as an A and Bs in Geography but I must try my best

That's where I'll fall down, I'm terrible with remembering facts from case studies... any suggestions or tips.

However, I know the Mississippi flood back to front! That's it.

oops yeh i meant 4H is mainly case study. Well the 3H today wasnt too bad. Except the question where u had to label the river features on the photograph. R was slip off slope, T was river cliff but what the heck was S?? it was pointing to some grass :confused:

i just wrote levée...but my friends hav written floodplain...any ideas?

I found the 3H exam generally very easy today :smile:

I put levees too for S, i thought about flood plain but i thought they' d have put it further away from the river bank to avoid vagueness if it was that. I put Point Bar for R because it looked like it was pointing at the beachy feature. River Cliff for T :smile:

What did you all put for the weather fronts question? :biggrin:

weather fronts question was weird...the data was confusing cos the temp went up and then down again for the first bit. i crossed the one where the temp went up by a lot tho for the warm front.

btw sorry to moderators for discussing the exam so early, i did not know.

You didn't get a warning as yuo didn't discuss the exam after anyone had sat it.

You can discuss exams after 12am (midnight British time) for exams sat during the morning and after 4am (British time) for exams sat in the afternoon. That time is up now for this exam - so disucss all you want now :smile:
