I thought I'd create this because I haven't found a thread for this/
So to all the Geographers, how do think the course is going?
If you need any help I'll be happily to help and I'm sure many others will do too!

Im currently in 5th year doing Higher Mod and RMPS and was thinking of crashing Higher Geography next year do you think it is possible to crash it without doing it previously? Obviously I know it won't be easy, no higher is, but with hard work would it be realistic do you think?

But other than that the Physical Side is always going to be new stuff, but you'll be doing a LOT of memorising formations ^.^ In my opinion, Physical Geography is the best! Ok Unit 1 and Unit 2 are on the Human side of Geography (what me and my friends call 'common sense') but you'll need to be good at memorising random figures in your case studies when writing out your answers in exams. It's possible though, especially since you're doing Modern Studies. In those Units you are going to learn about Transport/Housing/Health/Rural/Malaria etc. ^.^ Most stuff you'll get the hang of really easily ^.^ Honestly, you'll love Geography! It's one of my favorite subjects ^.^

I'm crashing higher geography this year and so far I've actually really enjoyed it and I wished that I took it before. I got an A in my prelim which I was quite surprised with. However, the physical section is definitely my weakness. I got 10/20 in that section because two questions that came up were ones that I really wasn't confident with. I got 19/20 for the human section though which I find fairly easy to revise.

But so is the human side... I just prefer the Physical side ^.^

Good Luck!! ^.^ Some questions might not need you to add figures but even without them (although they would boost your mark) you can still aim to get a pass ^.^

Hello fellow higher geographers
Quick tips for the geography exam, doesn't matter if its cfe or not. Get your hands on some past papers and memorise the answers. Most of the notes teachers give you are helpful, but not concise enough to write in the exam under timed conditions if you want good marks. You don't have too much time to write excess stuff if you are missing the main points. Its a really just a simple case of writing exactly what the marker wants to see, and since they follow sqa guidelines, they have to give you marks. I did this last year on old Higher Geography and got a good grade, so good luck!
Ps: You still have to revise your case studies though...

I was just wondering how much of the course everyone has covered.
(We have done almost everything; we are just doing Hydrosphere now and once that's finished we'll have covered the whole course.)

We've finished physical geo, and will be finishing human geo in the next week. After that it's just the global issues unit and we're done

I'm guessing your school must have went into a lot of detail with each topic since you haven't covered as much of the topics as we have. We're just going over them all again now and finishing off Hydropshere.

Yup, we went into each topic with so much detail! Wasn't expecting to finish any of my subjects so soon, especially geo! So glad to have nearly finished it though

Have people finished the course now? We finished the course about 2 weeks before the easter holidays and we still have 3 weeks left after the holidays for revision.
I bought the How to Pass book at the start of the year and it has been useless, probably been used about twice. It doesn't even contain any questions.
I've started revising for the exam already and there is so many things to remember :0
