There are four units: Natural Hazards, Rivers and Coasts, Population and Settlement, and Economic Development. Each year, the SDME is based on one unit. This year the SDME was on Economic Development. Every year the unit for the SDME changes. The three units left over are in the Key Themes paper - the one that's for tomorrow. Good Luck

no. There are no options this year. The reason you can't find a past paper with the new format is because there isn't one (the rule was changed last year, but they haven't released the 2014 paper yet).

we have to learn all the case studies. I hate the case studies!

The amount of work to do is just so OVERWHELMING. 15 or so case studies is bad as it is but of course we have to know all the content, key words and explanations for not just 1 topic but 3. Any tips on how to memorise as much as possible before the exam? I've been given a pack/booklet for each topic, but they are like 24 pages thick and there's no way I can learn an adequate amount to give me an A by 1:30pm tomorrow.

HELP :'(

for the hazards section just learn the impacts and methods for reducing impacts that are the same for all of them like "farmland destroyed so loss of income" can apply to all four hazards, you can do that for why they are more severe in LEDCs too e.g. loads of people rely on agriculture for their income
