WJEC Geography B GCSE Exam-- 4th June 2013

I'm doing these. Anyone got any idea about case studies?

Which topics do you need case studies for? I'll see if I have them (If I do I'll post them here)

From the top of my head, I need one about my flooding and I suspect flooding come up. I'll have a look later.

How do you answer those "how can it affect the quality of life of..." questions? They've really stumped me. Also, my teachers suck, so I have limited notes/resources. Could anyone be kind enough to supply with me with any notes or websites they found useful? Thanks a lot.

Well, the only 2 websites I know are very useful for revision are BBC Bitesize and BBC Learning Zone Class Clips :
Bitesize- http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/
Class Clips: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/

Personally, I find the Class Clips to be much more informative and when you're searching for a particular topic (using the search box), make sure you click on the link that begins with "BBC- Learning Zone Class Clips"

Here's an example of a Class Clip video on caves/arches/stacks: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/coastlines-caves-arches-and-stacks/8432.html

Edit: I forgot to mention but by quality of life, they mean which groups of people are affected, whether their life/wellbeing improves or not and why/how etc.

Thanks a bunch dude! Also, due to the WJEC site having few past papers, do you recommend trying out other exam board's papers? Thanks again, means a lot.

No problem
I'm not sure about other exam boards, but have you tried the other WJEC Geography syllabus? (syllabus A) -
http://www.wjec.co.uk/index.php?subject=58&level=7&list=paper

I've got 4 or 5 past papers for the syllabus we're doing now (syllabus B) but for me that's enough, since I'll be spending time focusing on preparing for my other 9 exams. How many exams do you have left?

You are a lifesaver! Apart from the 3 exams for geog, I've got like 4 left How can you handle 9?! Also, what grade you aiming for geog?

Hi! just to check: is the core on the 4th and the options on the 12th of June?

Hmmm...are you sure you're on the same syllabus as us? We're doing the exams where themes 1 and 2 and in the first exam (4th June) with theme 3 and a decision making paper being in on the second exam (12th June).

Yep, same here.

Do you have idea on what could come up on any of them exams? Such a broad question, I know.

I actually did the 4th June exam last year and got a D. I'm not entirely sure how as I'm predicted an A in Geography and got an A in the mock. Probably just stuffed my case studies up or something.

ah no, sorry i just realised this is B, i'm doing A! i didnt realise the exams would be on the same days!

I have no idea how I'm going to handle 9 but I'm most nervous about English Language (my first exam) For geography, since it has been one of my favourite subjects ever since we begun doing it in year 8, I would ideally like an A*. Unfortunately, I won't be taking it to A Level (I'll be doing Maths, F.Maths, Chemistry, Physics) but an A* in geography GCSE will be a reminder of all the good times I've had in it. What are you aiming for?

I have the reading English Lang on the same day as our first Geog, i'm positively frightened for Geog But Lang's fun, so it should be okay. I'm predicted a B in Geog but at the rate it's going I'm looking at a C/D I hate Geography, might I point that out. You seem really science/maths oriented, judging by your A Level choices!
