    OCR A synoptic
    I have noticed a few of us now that do OCR.. I thought i was all alone. If anyone has any ideas for the content of any modules feel free to add. It could be useful to us all.

    Remember all your stats! Mean, Median, Mode, Inter-quartile range, Range, Standard Deviation, spearmans rank, chi squared and mann whitney u.

    Sort of stuff i've seen on past papers for the synoptic paper..:

    They've given a picture, of say a sand dune, river a forest or a slope, and you have to identify a case study you could do and explain it.

    Remember about the diagrams you used in your coursework, be able to justify how you collected data, and the conclusions you came to. Know the limitations to your study and how you could have furthered investigation. Justify the diagrams you used in your study.

    Remember map types - Geological, Sketch, O.S, Satetllie...etc, and how they are useful.

    Diagrams such as photographs.

    My ideas ( well my teachers...) of what could come up and based on past papers.

    Oh...topics for OCR!

    Physical : Hydrology, Ecosystems, Lithosphere, Atmosphere
    Human : Population, Rural Settlement + change, Urban Settlement in MEDC's
    and LEDC's, Urban Morphology.

    Then you've got the synoptic paper!

    I hate the way they have no past papers, spam javelins.
