GCSE OCR B Geography - KEY GEOG THEMES 12TH JUNE

My teacher only told us to do secondary and quarternary looks like i'll have to go back and revise all i guess
But what if they ask you to write about one specific sector like secondary how can you write a whole case study on that?

The mark scheme is on this pdf with the specimen, under the exam..check it...

I'm pretty sure that's the specimen paper for the old spec, it says 2008 at the bottom of the page. Fairly sure this is the new spec specimen and mark scheme:

Yeah I know all the sectors, why haven't you done primary or tertiary? Had to do my field work on the tertiary sector.

Does anyone know which case studies or 8 mark questions are likely to come up? I think that a LEDC will come up for river and coast but what about for tectonic and climatic hazards and economic development?

Theres a case study on south-east brazil thats secondary but it's unlikely they'll give it on a specific sector. Maybe a globalisation case study or environment case study

A climatic hazard In medc could be hurricane katrina in USA. Are you doing both climatic hazard and tectoni or just one?
Due to the stress and lack of time I am just doing tectonic

I'm just doing tectonic :smile:

Is there an LEDC case study for coasts - my teacher says not.

Some pupils in my class are just going to learn either volcanoes or earthquake case studies alone - this seems risky, does the Q often specify which?

Also For industry I have just learnt Nike, Toyota & Briefly looked at pearl Delta river - is this ok?
please help !

I got 54 on coursework & SDME and I need 108 to achieve A*

I'm not sure if that's raw marks?
What is the exam out of?

That's UMS marks. I think the paper is out of 83/4? (Raw Marks)

I'm getting stressed can we just learn the natural hazards part and not climatic hazards....

Climatic and Tectonic Hazards are part of the Natural Hazards topic

Climatic Hazards are Natural Hazards

Tectonic Hazards are Natural Hazards

It's between Climatic and Tectonic Hazards.
