How to get an A* in geography NEA

Hi,

Overall: Use this link and follow this examples plan that got full marks and you will do well, it helped me massively for structure, data and presentation;

https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resources/geography/AQA-70373-NEA-G.PDF

I got 57/60 in my NEA and i'm not going to lie to you, it took a lot of effort, but you clearly have the drive to do well in it as you are here in the first place!
Basically, my NEA was split into 4 sections which I did seperately and and merged together; 1) Introduction, 2) Methodology for data collection, 3) Data anaylsis, 4) Conclusions on the data. (Have your teaches told you about this structure for your NEA?)

My question was about measuring the carbon sequestration rate of trees in my local park, based on my teachers advise that a physical geography NEA would be easier, which it was but that was just my opinion.

Data included raw figures that I derived from measuring aspects of tree, calculations, charts/graphs, Spearman's Rank, hand-drawn graphs etc.

Adding images into your NEA helps, but a lots of detailed text will also add marks to your overall score.

My advise would be to collect as much data as you can, doesnt even matter if its completely wrong agasint your hypothesis (or made up as I did!) as you can just state these facts in your anaylsis, then go to your teachers and breif them on this 4 stage plan as it will help you. Then begin to plan what you can say for each stage.

Hope this helps!

What sort of length should I be aiming at because I've finished my Introduction, Methodology and Data presentation/analysis and I'm on about 5500 words with conclusion and evaluation left to do? I know there's not a set length but wanted to know roughly if I need to condense or go into more detail because I feel I've exhausted everything I can think of so far
Also I'm doing mine on rebranding of an area and how successful it is, so if anyone wants help or to share ideas just message me
Thank you !

Hi i have submitted my NEA but i obviously dont know the mark yet hahah. I have quite a few resources message me

Hello, I have just began lookign at my nea (a bit behind schedule ahaha) could you possibly share me in with your nea. I am doing gentrification of two areas in Stratford (East Village and Carpenter Estate). I would only like to take a look at your nea for help on structuring and analysing primary data - including how and which data to collect. And also just an overall template which would be incredibly useful for me. Thank youu

Sure thing, pm me your email and i can send you everything i have!

I achieved full marks on the NEA; on top of everything else that's been said I want to emphasise the importance of using more advanced data presentation techniques. Use GIS (ArcGIS is a good free tool), present data cartographically - all in all you want to move beyond using the graphs on Excel, put some actual effort into your data presentation and it will pay dividends in upping your banding.

My school is refusing to provide any useful resources in regards to the NEA. I recognise that we aren't allowed direct feedback but we haven't even been told how to properly structure it and what needs to be included.

I want to get an A*. What should the structure look like? What data should it include? My question is looking at regeneration.

If anyone would be able to send me their one it would be greatly appreciated. I guarantee everything would be kept confidential. Also if you School has provided any resources please share them.
