I'm really really worried :frown:

I have french the day before and re on the same day as geography. It's just too too much to remember and because I enjoy geography the least it's kinda the one I keep avoiding doing revision for. I HATE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY! Argggh.

I'm worried to, i have a maths exam on monday, sociology on thursday and then another maths exam and geography on friday :frown:

have been focusing on my maths so much that i've neglected my other subjects

I really do hate with this exam that we learn about 10 topics and are only tested on 2! :-(

Hey guys, thought I might add this to the thread;

our teacher has been VERY good at predicting what topics should come up each year.

The orange cells mark which topics should be concentrated on.

I'll be honest, i've left it far too late with like 3 days to go, so i'm only going to revise those topics!! :O

I've thrown in a GGB6 past questions thing too which you might find helpful.

I didn't think it was possible to get a question on just NICs and not TNCs? It's all part of the same topic on the specification. And you'll have to revise TNCs anyway because it's relevant to the synoptic paper. But I think the attachment is generally pretty accurate so cheers! I feel your pain about leaving it too late. I'm in the same situation. Why why why do I get my self into this stupid situation every year?!

Hey
Ive seen NIC come up straight after TNCs in the next paper in June 04 and Jan 05 i think. I do think the topics picked are accurate too. Im thinking theres definatly a question on migration and multicultural societites as well as tectonics and volcanoes integrated into one. Fingers crossed we re all right and that it all goes well.

Also,,didnt climate change come up in June 08??

hey people, i have a quick question about case studies for ggb4.

In each of the topics I've learnt case studies, but for some topics my teacher taught us more than 1 case study, e.g. transmittable diseases - HIV/Aids in Thailand and Botswana. I was wondering if anybody knew if it was necessary to learn more than 1 case study per topic?

Hope revision is going well

Hey, thank's for all the work put into this thread. Could you chaps, (for the final time), just confirm what was in Jan 09 and what's likely to be in friday's exam/what I don't need to revise?

Thanks.

Core Periphery
EU+Separatism
Multiple hazards in urban area
and there was a question which was 80% about longterm vegetation change and then 20% about vegetation adaptions in africa. Check the first page of the thread where I have posted the actual questions.

ur table is a little wrong. Climate change came up in June 2008. So it isnt a very likley topic. Since I spotted that one mistake, I worry that u might have made another mistake in it. However I shall trust it.

I don't know if it's necessary but i've learnt multiple case studies for burglary and transmittable diseases. My teachers seem to think the more the better.

From examiners reports basically to gain the higher marks case studies are essential even if not asked. Personally i have 2 for all the topics and even small snippets in the essays of additional case studies ie Floodng with volcanoes-Grimsvoton glacial burst in Iceland from melting snow and ice November 1996 can gain marks also. I would say more the better, especially with hazards section with volcanoes and earthquakes an LEDC and then MEDC also.My textbook is rubbish so ive had to research a lot but it will be worth researching extra case studies for high marks.

My textbook is amazing. I bought it myself after some researching it's by David Redfern and Malcolm Skinner.
Im taking a huge gamble and just revising
Soils, Volcanoes, Migration, Conflicts and Plate Tectonics.
And I'll briefly go over TNC's and Atmosphere/ITCZ

Yeah I've got that textbook, some of the answers in the markschemes are literally word for word from the textbook. I'm not even bothering revising from my classnotes. Luckily my school was really good and sold them to us. Just a shame I can't remember half the stuff that's written in it...
