1 month is more than enough for good revision . Hopefully you must have completed most of the syllabus, if not then don't stress about it , previous year questions are always at rescue for students , whatever syllabus you have completed with that try to go through the PYQs and try answering them honestly , mark down in a piece of paper whatever topics were your weak points , work hard on them , with the PYQs you can get an estimate of what topics will probably be asked and what topics are important for your paper , rest don't waste time revising things that you already know and work on areas which give you a hard time . Hope this helps! Best of luck!

my physical geo teacher hasn't been very clear on case studies throughout especially for the hazard topic and so i'm always confused on how many i need or what i even studied in the first place. what ones are everyone else doing for the hazard topic (if you're doing it) because this one has so many :frown:

Are you aqa? I have like 9 case studies for hazards which I think is far too much tbh.

Ikr haha its really tough. Have you got any predictions for hazards? I'm thinking the 20 could be on local case study of wildfires which for me is Bel Air. Its only thing to not come up ever so I'd say revise wildfire local study well.

Which techniques does everyone use to revise for geography?? I find it very different from my other A Levels (bio and chem)

I use flashcards to memorise key facts and figures to use in 20 markers + 9 markers. Other than that, I use practice questions. I'm open to any suggestions too though!

It's the only thing that hasn't come up before so there's a strong chance it is the 20 marker. I could be wrong tho.
