Edexcel Unit 2: Geographical Investigations

Just a quick question: for rebranding if it asks for a named study can you say East London and then in the main answer mention both the regeneration of the london docklands and stratford? or would I have to mention either the docklands or stratford and only talk about one regeneration scheme?

This exam used to be 1 hour and then they added 15 minutes recently because of complaints. 15 minuttess!!!! This is ridiculous, and doesn't even test you properly imo.

Geography is my only Humanities subject... so I kinda count it as an essay but I see your point

So are you guys going to write intros and conclusions? I tend to spend a lot of time thinking of a good intro, so maybe if I cut it out I'll manage my time better. But my teacher says it's best to briefly define the word(s) in bold to show the examiner you know what you're talking about :s So confused about what to do!

If the rebranding question was on the success of sports rebranding:
How many marks would you expect it to be?
And what kind of points would you write?
Which case studies do you have & how many key facts would you include? (would you include London 2012 olympics?)
yeah, I haven't done much on sports & rebranding...

I don't think culture has come up before so it could be that.

They couldn't specifically ask culture could they.. its not in the Spec but you can bring in culture as a method of rebranding

For rebranding with sport it would be a 10 mark question, as you wouldn't have done fieldwork and research into this so it will only be 10 marks.

I would write about the economic, social and environmental benefits that it brings to the area.. such as jobs, infrastructure etc. you could bring in negatives too..

If asked to judge the success, you would however have to use a different example as London 2012 hasn't occured yet :P

I would use for the success either the Sydney Olympics games 2000 or the Manchester Commonwealth Games.

Hope this helps and good luck tomorrow morning

I can send you my notes on both London and Sydney Olympics if you want. However, I doubt the exam tomorrow for rebranding will be on the sustainability as this came up in Jan 12

Hey! it says we're supposed to spend 30 minutes on each section, how is everybody dividing their time? Obviously the majority of this time will be spent on the 15 mark question but how are we supposed to answer two ten mark questions in this time!?
