GCSE Geography AQA 2014

Who is taking this exam in the summer? If so what topics are you all doing? Have you started revising? What did you get in your mock for geography? What are you aiming for in the real thing?

Thanks! :biggrin:

I don't know if I'm doing AQA, but I'm doing Tourism, development gap (Urbanization and stuff), coasts, and natural hazards, maybe some more. But I find Geography so easy, I am aiming for an A/A*

I got most of my geography knowledge from class unlike my other subjects where its mainly self teaching. My teacher's pretty good too. I dont revise much for it, but for case studies which are useful in the exam just repeat them and write them down over and over again. And for everything else invest in a good CGP geography revision guide or bbc bitesize it tells you what you need to know.

you don't know what board you're doing :eek:

that's a bit worrying, considering our exams are in a month
and you've been doing geography for 2 years (I presume)

I know I know, I dont know most of them for my subjects, I get confused, as I have so many OCR, EDEXEL AQA... Ill have to write them down, but it's not bothering me, I have the correct revision equipment.
