Edexcel AS Geography Unit 2 May 16th

I'm doing extreme weather and rebranding. Anyone doing extreme weather... My teacher said he thinks that the weather diary could come up as the 15 marker. What sort of Question would it be?

hey guys what would be the best way to revise for this paper? im doing coasts and rebranding

Same here. Unit 1 screwed me pretty hard. I was so busy on Section B I ran out of time for A....... and lost out 3, 4-5 mark questions. I am done with Geography.

Oh and someone murder Edexcel for this. I see that it's no longer about knowledge but figuring out stupid tricky questions and examiner's petty mood of whether he feels like taking away the mark for that apostrophe you have missed out on a single word.

Anybody know any case studies for rebranding and crowded coasts?

For coasts I think I have some notes on Holderness (very erosive coast) and something about Lulworth (I think it was spelt that way...), and I don't really think I have anything more for that...
For rebranding I'm doing Liverpool: it's a good example for successful rebranding in an urban area (Liverpool One, Albert docks, etc)
For urban rebranding I'm also really studying my own city - Valencia - as there are quite a few examples for attempted rebranding schemes which failed and I know that "first hand"... though I don't really think that's very useful to you.
I guess you could also study London and Sydney for successful rebranding schemes kickstarted by the Olympic games. In the case of Sydney, the 2000 Olympic Games are considered to be successful due to the fact that they helped the environment (so for environment questions that's good).
And Cornwall: it's a good example of successful rural rebranding, with the Eden project and all.

Hope my case studies inspire you? haha

Hello!
I'm doing edexcel as geography and I was wondering if anyone has advise on how to get all 6 questions done in 1h15 on the unit 2 paper? My topics are Rebranding and crowded coast, I just can't think of the answer and write it in the time we have and I really don't feel confident on this exam, please help!
Thanks

Our teacher told us to spend about a minute getting a few words that you'd use as paragraphs so you know what you're writing so you won't have to keep stopping and thinking and if you don't finish or get all the point the marker might give some points for getting the initial idea down, I feel the same so I'm just practising time management using past papers making sure I'm not spending too much time,
Hope this helped abit

Bring in a stopwatch! I did that for unit 1 so you're strict with the timings. You should spend 45 minutes per question

I have all the case studies, but what type of question could come up?

I just hope there are no weird questions... not anything related to sustainability

It depends what topics you are doing but there could be a question on sustainability if you are doing crowded coast, asking about the sustainability of management strategies, we were told that you don't have to write about sustainability as just an environmental thing but there's economic and social too so that should give you more to say

you only have 1 hour 15 for the whole exam...

loooooooooooooool is this guy is HIGH or something , talking about 45 min on each question
