ALEVEL GEOGRAPHY Community ♡

My first econ was awful! (Edexcel). I thought physical was fine just the 16 markers in the human paper had me a little stumped! Not looking forward to the 2 33 markers....

I’m AQA for econ and I know, absolutely dreading debates! The 16 markers for human were weird as well. At least geography will be over forever tho when we finish the exam 🤩

Hi, I am doing AQA as well and I am in year 12, we have covered all the topics except hazards. BTW, does anyone have a good definition for dynamic equilibrium? (in water and carbon cycles unit).

Geography really compliments biology; a fair bit of the content overlaps in my experience with OCR (especially earth's life support systems). i can't speak for chemistry as i haven't studied it at A-level. What are you planning to do after A-levels? Geography is a really highly regarded subject for most unis, but it depends on what your other possible options are.

Hi, I'm Tom, I'm going into Year 13 and I'm studying the WJEC course :smile:

I got an A at AS, in which I studied coastal landscapes and tectonic hazards for my first paper and changing places and skills/fieldwork for my second paper.
I'm currently working on my NEA which is about sand dunes and this is definitely the least enjoyable part of the course for me.
In Y13 I'll be studying the water and carbon cycles, 21st century challenges, governance of migration, governance of oceans, advanced tectonics, ecosystems and energy dilemmas. The A2 course seems a lot larger in terms of content than the AS course, but it also seems waaaaay more interesting than coasts and changing places.
I also do Biology, Chemistry and English Literature and want to study Medicine in uni :biggrin:

I take biology, chemistry and geography (and English lit) and would 100% recommend the combination. They're hard subjects but all very interesting. There's a lot over overlap of the sciences with geography, but there's also enough contrasting elements in geography that will ensure you don't get bored of 100% science all of the time.

Can someone tell me how to do my shopping basket survey please, I already have the layout and I have some prices, but i'm not sure how to compare high end to low end. I have items from different shops and it's like there is an overlap. Because all the shops are either sainsbury or wait rose, and I seem to be getting the prices the same. Also, has anyone used ArcGIS?

Do you know how a method table works?

I'm afraid I haven't heard of one before, what is it?

It's for NEA, apparently an overall way to sum up what data we collected and why we collected it.

I don’t know if this is what you meant by a method table but I used a table to write up my methodology, so what data collection methods I used, including sampling, why I used each of them, usefulness of each and limitations of each.
I can send you mine if you want some ideas but it is for human geography.

Ohhhh I know what you mean, I didn't actually use this format myself but what the person above said sounds accurate.

Could you work out an average for each product across the high end and low end shops? And then compare the averages to see if there is a significant difference. And even if there isn’t, or the low-end is more expensive than the high-end, then that would be something to discuss in your analysis.
