Hi, I'm flowersinmyhair and I am aiming for a B in geography. I prefer the physical side of the course but I am better at the human side. I find memorising the different processes that take place in physical geography quite difficult which is where I tend to lose the most marks.

The CGP revision guide is good. I don't think there is a better spec honestly though.

Hey guys! How many hours of revision a night are you doing for geography? I'm just trying to work out if I am revising more or less than people from other schools. Thanks :smile:

None at the moment lol, but I really need to get my head in the game. I think I will aim for somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour but I need to plan that out first.

I'm aiming for a B too, maybe an A if my coursework mark is good 🙂 I struggle with 20 mark questions, never got above 14

I have little faith in my coursework so I'm relying on the exams. I find 20 markers vary quite a lot - I get anywhere from 7 marks to 18 lol

I'm aiming for a B too realistically but hoping for an A and same I sometimes struggle with 20 markers as well also what revision resource do you guys use? I can't find any other stuff apart from watching the curious geographer on YT, savemyexams and PMT

Hey guys! Just wondering how you guys would tackle a 20 or 9 marker questions as my marks fluctuates a lot in them. I'm aiming to improve it and be more consistent on getting higher marks.
