I only study pop and rivers out of your 4 choices it would be a lot easier if you could send me a question just so I can structure a plan around that because it's too vague to just give a generalised plan, happy to help though!

Just realised after writing it that I set it out as if the question would be 'physical factors are more important than human factors to what extent do you agree'
So in an introduction I would state when a flood occurs (when discharge exceeds bank full capacity) give a little bit of an intro about general stuff about floods so say physical factors are weather, vegetation and human are urbanisation etc make it no more than 3-4 lines as the introduction isn't that important it's just to set what you're going to talk about
Then because it's saying physical factors are more important than human you have the decision to choose whether you want to focus your essay on physical or human. Personally I would say physical is more important for causing river discharge
now I would bring in my first point such as circular drainage basins- discuss that and then talk about a human cause and say how It has less of a significant effect
whichever you choose to have a greater cause on river discharge you have to stick to it throughout the essay otherwise you'll lose marks
lastly, for the conclusion you will say which has the biggest impact and just quickly summarise why and maybe put a point about how it could be managed
I hope my explanation makes sense not sure if it does! I did a very similar 15 marker which was the same layout question and got 15 marks following this layout so hope it helps

Ah it's fine I think it is just my college then 
I really want to get an A in geography thats why I need to master the 15 mark questions. Do you mind if I get a couple of model answers for these questions so I have more model answers to look at? Also I have been told to draw a sketch or a diagram for 15 mark questions(is this right or not?)
Describe how and explain why fluvial (river) landforms change downstream
With reference to one case study, discuss the impact of flooding on people and theenvironment.
