can vary. (10 marks)

I'm looking at 56 marks to get an A overall, apparently. Fingers crosssed that shouldn't be too difficult.
thanks for that.

That's exactly what I'm aiming for as well but maybe a bit higher so I can drop more marks on geog4b :P

Are the grade boundries always low in Geog 3? We did the Jan 2013 paper in class and alot of the class got A*'s, I think it was 70% for an A*

yehhh its quite low, average mark to get an A is 56/90 which is roughly 62%, so if you think about it, it really shouldn't be that hard to get an A theoretically :P

Does anybody have a good link that they used for urbanisation in mumbai that explains its effects as well? Also, what case study are people using for their MDC urbanisation city?

Has anybody got a link to a good case study for city centre retail redevelopment please?

I've got the Trafford Centre for the out of town but i have a feeling retailing will come up on the World Cities 40 mark essay.

Thanks,

Quick question guys! In the development and globalisation topic, are there different types of trade that we need to know? It says in the specification about trade vs aid so I'm really not sure now and I'm stressing outtttt

Yeah same here, ermm just about an example of a city's attempt to redevelop it's CBD to try and compete with out of town retailing.

I personally haven't got any specific types of trade, just aid (e.g top-down aid, bottom-up etc).

Although I don't think it'll come up on the 7, 8 or ten markers as it came up in the Jan 2013 paper.

Please say plate tectonics theory isn't going to come up as a question, I cannot get my head around the evidence and also vulcanicity just blags my head, I hope the 25 marker is more focused on seismicity

We learnt Touch Wood in Solihull, but that was because we did Merry Hill as our out of town centre. It's probably best if you do a city centre near to Trafford Centre, I know in the CGP it has a page about how Manchester has redeveloped, but I don't have it to hand, sorry.

I feel really sorry for anyone who has 4 topics. We're doing three and there are enough case studies as it is!

I'm using CGP for weather mostly as I find it most difficult and complex! World cities I am using both cgp and textbook then mainly textbook for tectonics as I am planning to do essay on it and need as much detail as I can get!
