Any predicitions for Edexcel geography a level?

Has anyone got any predictions for the 20 markers or things that might come up either for the human or physical paper? I feel so screwed for this exam for awful teaching and no guidance from the exam board?

I've got a prediction: evaluate the extent to which everyone taking this course is going to get at least 60% (20 marks)

Feeling alright... did the sample paper for mocks in April and got overall A* but because the grade boundaries are so uncertain and they could ask anything, that's not much of a help!

Hoping management for the 20 mk Qs!

Any one know if the 20-marker for the carbon/water cycle will be on either carbon or water, or a mix of both?

First year of A-Level, and so much content! Uncertainty, perhaps? :smile:

No past papers + A lot of New Content added in + Alot to know+ Questions can at times be retarded (like the question ask for something but the MS wants something else) + Exam is ALOT of writing + Time constraints + Teachers know **** all + (might just be me but CW was really low)

Mark a min is like 1.28 where as in Economics its 1.5 :/ and the difference between that is huge as in Economics you can really think and articulate a good answer where as in Geography its abit more of a rush.

Exam technique is really hard to nail that too but my teachers say I have it down, so who knows :dontknow:

I'm currently revising Superpowers and completed tectonics the other day. The content is huge but break it down bit by bit.

There are past papers on Pearson, my teacher linked some, it was gibberish to me. It didn't seem to cover the content learned at school.
