These are the posters I made for each section! There's no case studies on them but they should help with content!

I hope that demand for resources or sustainable tourism doesnt come up as there is so much information in them.

No problem, I understand the quality decreases so if you need me to send you them via fb messenger or pm or something then it's fine

I love the question on the impacts of increasing demand for resources! Would be a gift of 8 marks, I find the interpretive questions harder. If it's a question where I can just throw all my knowledge down on the page, I do fine

oh god yes, thats a killer. I have the notes for it though so it shouldnt be that bad, but i have a feeling this years paper will have alot of cause studies.

ahahaha yeah definitely won't be happening for me :laugh: it'll be a case of a mad rush whilst subsequently trying not to make stupid mistakes :s-smilie:
That's where my teacher really failed us. We were given structured revision guides, and we were advised to spend two weeks revising for each theme, and then to spend 30 minutes on each section. But by luck I looked at the specification and realised 50% of the unit was Theme A, and now 13/16 people in my class have repeated unit 1. :|

I find it hard to believe though that theme A is the Largest. For some reason, for me it's always the one I seem to get done quicker than the rest¿?😂

I find that too! I think it's due to map skills and simple describe questions like population pyramids being examined in theme A, so I find it quicker to revise, whereas theme C has four of the case studies. Theme B is fairly content heavy with trade/aid I find, while there's less than theme A I think it's harder to learn.

Yeah I'm hoping for a quick section A. I hope they don't throw any twists on to our section A. Section B i find quite hard! Which reminds me of another prediction I have- which is how either debt or environmental factors hinder development as they haven't came up
