Understatement of the century. It won't all go in so i'm trying to displace random knowledge 0.o
I keep getting all my facts and figures mixed up between them, and I've only learnt 2 for tropical storms and 2 for volcanic events so far. Just started revising world cities and realised I've still got at least 3 to learn for that as well. Sure there weren't this many last year?? It's really mean :frown: Role on 3pm a week on Friday! :P

3pm 0.o? I swear it starts earlier than that?

temptation to not learn the case studies that came up in jan :/

hmm, I don't think it will to be honest :smile:! I think this year will be a tricky one


Oh really? What do you think it could be?
They are slightly limited as to what they can ask about... OH damn I hope it's not a tough one... I'm pinning my hopes onto the fact that tectonics is usually the easier essay to tackle :P

I might actually do that, except I've already learnt Hulme and Thames gateway for regeneration. Might not bother with seismic events but it's a bit of a risky strategy. My exam sheet says it's at 1pm. Thinking about it, I'm fairly sure I didn't bother learning all case studies in detail last year, and I still got a B, although that exam was amazing :smile: Examiners please be good to us! If there's an essay without a case study I'm definitely picking it :P Least with world cities you can blag quite a bit of it (obvs not case studies) as it's common sense, like climate change last yr :smile:

I agree, but take your teachers marking with a pinch of salt, AQA always seem to mark differently, I call it 'typical AQA'.

I recon my teachers genuinely marks harshly so I guess that's a good thing :P

Don't think just anyone can get Jan 13 mark schemes on any exam board, as it is so recent.. maybe your teacher? :s-smilie:

lol, two steps ahead of me. Have some tectonics notes to finish.

I never cease to amaze myself with my memory though 0.o. Went out into my garden for about 15 minutes (in the sun :smile:) and learnt a whole case study 0.o. Good enough for a 8 or 10 marker (albeit not 40! as its counter-urbanisation), but still :P

No mark scheme available though.

Oooh Im doing exactly the same topics as you!!:eek:
What are you planning on doing for the 40 marker?


thanks so much!
I'm panicking a lot, I've only just finished one of the topics.
Im thinking of doing ecosystems or one of the human essays I'm not sure.
What about you?
i do struggle with the ecosystems essays especially the ones on development, sustainability and biodiversity in tropical biomes, even though they are interesting. What case studies do you use for this?
