Edexcel A level Geography - Unit 3 Pre-release topic

Is everyone also just revising two other topics for section A? If so, what are they?

Biodiversity-State of terrestrial ecosystems (Figure 12) and possibly desertification (I can't remember whether it fits into biodiversity or water scarcity).

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any resources like practice papers/mark schemes or anything? My teacher is pretty much useless, doesn't even mark homework or anything, so any help would be useful thanks

Know how this feels

Thanks errm, probably Superpowers, biodiversity, and technological fix, yourself? x

Hi all

This is a quick mind-map I have knocked up for the Maghreb region.
It is not perfect, and I will be updating it later but its good enough for now.
I apologise for the massive number of spelling errors etc. but the program I use doesn't have a spell check or grammar check and I CBA to look through it all (too much to do)

Also as a quick note the fire is 284.3 KB but it is Very Very big in terms of screen space, so you will have to scroll a lot to look at it, again this is a fault with the program I use and I can do nothing about it.

Edit: the image is impossible to read I should really have checked that first
I will try to solve it.

Edit: Solved go to this link to get the map as a PDF like I have done with the other documents I have put on this topic. http://www.scribd.com/doc/54953775/Maghreb-Region

What is your secret...its too good, cheers!

Bah

I wish I had one that worked just as well in the exam as out of it.

Ben

True...you can know all the info you want before the exam but when you get into the exam it's do or die....most of the time I die

Could someone explain the format of the exam please? Sorry my teacher has been really crap.

I see there's 6 topics we can choose from, how many do we have to learn? I take it we don't have to revise all of them?

And how is the pre release incorporated in to the exam?

Thanks a lot!

Right first thing to know it that we have to answer 3 question

Two have a part A and a part B

The other is the compulsory question which we have been given the pre release for.

This third question has a part A B and C which seam to follow the pattern of asking about the

of the topic. They may not be in this order or appear as this at all (they have for the past exams but who knows what the exam board will do)
This third question this year is on the development gap in the Maghreb region.

Now the other two questions are ones we can choose from the selection of other topics not including the development gap. these questions have questions asking about the caused and a figure that you must use. that is part A.

Part B is an evaluation question asking you to evaluated either the causes and/or solutions, this is where you use your own case studies and the figure given. include a conclusion at the end to state your opinion.

Hope that help.
Ben

thanks a lot. so obviously I have to revise the development gap, how many other topics would you recommend revising?

I am doing my two fav and one other just in case. so three total.

Ben

Thanks. Final question- how many options do we get to pick from for Part A?

Now the other two questions are ones we can choose from the selection of other topics not including the development gap. these questions have questions asking about the caused and a figure that you must use. That is part A.

Part B is an evaluation question asking you to evaluated either the causes and/or solutions, this is where you use your own case studies and the figure given. include a conclusion at the end to state your opinion.
