AQA GEOG4A A2 14th June 2013

My scanner isn't working, but heres the pages from the textbook and CGP on chi squared, hope they're clear enough

I always revise for the skills exams in the same way, and I've so far managed an A in AS Skills and a B in A2 Skills.
I just write everything out in REALLY simple terms. For example, I'd write 3 two word bullet points on the location of my fieldwork, same with my aims etc, so I can remember them easily; I know I can stretch it all out properly in the exam.
For the actual skills part, I do the same. I write three bullet points on what's good and bad for each type of graph etc, and for the stats I simplify it as much as I can too, by writing things like "large standard deviation - numbers spread around the mean".

I know it seems simple but it's worked for me so far, and if anyone wants me to scan my notes etc, feel free to ask!

(Obviously my fieldwork might not be applicable for most people, but we did ours based on Bradshaw's Model, and how a river's variables change with distance from the source, so if you needed that too, you could adapt it? The risks etc are the same)

I've PM'd you the notes
I know this sounds utterly ridiculous but loads of people I know who sat the exam over complicated it for you. The questions aren't there to trick you so don't look for double meanings!
Reading examiners reports might be useful too, but mainly, just look at the command word they use, and try and sort of buff out what you know, to make it look like you absolutely loved doing the investigation!
I HATED ours, there's nothing less interesting than measuring a river, but if you act like it was the best thing in the world, the examiner will see that and you'll get higher marks. Good luck!

I'm sitting this exam on Friday and i'm utterly dreading it. I'm sitting a year early as my teacher says its 'easy' and there are no January exams next year.

I'm pretty okay with part A to do with my own fieldwork but part B is honestly a complete mystery!

Does anyone have notes or resources on chi squared or Mann Whitney U test? ( I don't have any as I don't even have an A2 text book yet!!)

Because the same questions come up time after time, my teacher has provided us with a booklet which we effectively need to learn to get full marks. People in the year above did it in Jan and 60% got full marks doing this

Its specific to my investigation where we looked at whether bedload size gets smaller and more rounded with increasing distance down the long profile.

In the booklet:

Aim
Theory
Hypothesis
Location
Pilot Study
Methods of Data Collection
Methods of Data Presentation
Data Analysis
Conclusions
Evaluation

And all the statistical tests - when to use this, what looking for

Do people still want it?
