sqa are as sly as foxes - some questions came up twice in a row when i was looking through the past papers

Thanks a bit worried for paper one with the timing since there's a lot to write for one question

Ino Glaciation is so easy!Though am predicting coasts this yr.
My prelim was coasts too! 47/50 cause i didnt study this 6marker and only got 3marks frm it haha.

What was your 6 mark in it? Ours was just straight forward - Coastal features, socio-economic opportunities by coastal landscape, problems and solutions :lol:

Thank you very much, ma'am!

Also this is my teacher's own website. It's not comprehensive as of yet but it has a few good video explanations and he shows you how to draw the diagrams etc. Some of you might find it useful for a spot of last minute revision. :smile:

No probs, have a look at the other topics as well, it has all model answers of all the questions they could ask you (except coasts & hydrosphere)

Yeah, I definitely would! I crashed it this year and I find it really really interesting and kinda fun. You learn a lot of stuff which is really useful, even if just for general knowledge and etc. I really piss my boyfriend off by constantly pointing out the technical names for various geographical features and it makes me feel like a smartie pants. The only real setback is the fact that there is so much to learn. I honestly think there's more to try cram in your brain for geography than for any other subject, but the good thing is that you can sorta predict what might come up, and only some of the course does come up, even though you were taught 983429849384 topics.

I crashed it this year... It's not to difficult just quite a lot to remember... In the 2 classes there were 10 people crashing it- I was the only one in my class crashing it and I am the only one left doing it as a crash higher now as the others got dropped to int 2. But it really was my favourite subject this year :smile:

I personally think geography is really interesting, and most of the course is pretty relevant, unlike english. however, the exam is so tight for time and you have to learn SO much stuff that I don't think it's worth it. you might, though :smile:
