ocr geography geographical skills revision thread

i know its a bit late for one of these but i don't think there is a dedicated place for geographical skills discussion. so share your techniques for revision, how you feel about the paper etc.

Totally unprepared, our teacher hasn't given us any helpful resources and I have no idea what kind of structure to use to answer the essay questions

I find that most of the essay questions can be structured around your sub hypotheses so each paragraph is about each sub hypothesis

how are people revising for section A? i think the best way is just to do as much practice as possible, i don't find that section too difficult but i find it hard to remember the differences between all the sampling methods/types

I think the main themes are derived from each section in the investigation for example one could be about assessing data presentsion or about whether the findings fit the theory. Tbh im not really sure myself

I agree theres a lot yo remember for just a small section, found the best way for sampling has been to do drawings for each method using the different types. Find it hardest to remember the statistical techniques, hope question on them doesnt come up
