i didn't resit it! Everyone I knew who did said it was ridoculous, the wording was really weird to how it normally is and they asked for a sketch diagram of an esker which you either knew or you didnt. it sounds as though grade boundaries may possibly drop
stick to the main text book that your teacher uses. That way you won't confuse the examiner.
are you a teacher - I have a couple of quite broad questions! with essay writing examiners say that the marks come in the evaluation and explanation rather than case study examples ( these just give evidence) does this mean i would write a line or so on each paragraph just on case studies - and the rest on analysis! Im confused on the best structure - oh, are the examiners looking for specific stuff or your own interpretation? kind regards
I'm confused on the types of volcanoes - they have so many different names in different text books help?
Don't worry about them all they won't cover specific ones. I have learnt 4 in detail.
Fissure-constructive boundary. Eg Iceland. By nature Icelandic Caldera-hot spots or constructive. Eg Yellowstone Wyoming USA. By nature Krakatoan. Composite or stratovolcano-destructive or collision zone. Eg mt St. Helens by nature Vesuvian Shield- constructive. Eg Mauna Loa Hawaii. By nature Hawaiian
Talk about their shape and nature (frequent eruption?, is it powerful?)
Also include lava types and silica content to show u have got the higher level understanding and possibly temperature of the types.
Can I just ask why I haven't seen anyone on here say they will be using Japan as a case study for tectonics? Its the easiest case study to remember, it involved tsunamis and if any questions about preparedness for seismic events come up this would be the best case study to use.
Our teacher said its good as an example but not as a case study because not enough is known about long term effects yet aparently.

I disagree..think its a great case study! you only include case studies if they relevant anyway and its a good one for seismicity -both tsunami and earthquake and a good example of an MEDC with a high death toll even with their planning and mitigation techniques
has everyone revised their 3/4 topics for the exam?! ive only revised plate tectonics! is that really bad? do you think i should have covered all my 4 topics by now?

I'm almost done revising my fourth which is tectonics. Left it last as I felt most comfortable with this topic. There's a lot to revise trust me and I get stressed if I leave it to late. It's the detail required for the top marks that take the time to remember. People work differently so it will be hard to tell for you.
I'm focusing on tectonics, world cities and development and globalisation- finding that tectonics is MUCH more expansive in terms of things to remember than the other two- anyone else finding this?

I used to teach A Level, now lecture geography/outdoor education, but do a lot of work with students who are going to do a bachelors in Geography and give them preparation. I used to mark unit 2/unit 4A, so unit 3 isn't the best in terms of exactly what is needed.
Examiners will generally look for specific stuff if the question asks for it or your own interpretation if the question asks for it. It will be clear in the question asked. For case studies say how they back up what you're trying to say, and fit it in the explanation, rather than just saying the case study.
