I don't believe we can share it with you openly online. Have you tried asking your teacher / school?
Something I've noticed is that the grade boundaries for this paper have consistently been the lowest, despite this paper seeming far easier. Anyone know why that is?

No clue lol. Don't forget grade boundaries are set using a range of factors though.

I guess. I think it might have been because you used to have to write about your fieldwork practical and I imagine so many people just didn't revise it.
Hi

~I have stupidly managed to mislay my pre-release booklet for geography paper 3 and have no idea where it might be....

Please can someone share a copy with me so I can print it off.

My teacher hasn't responded to my email and not sure if she will check emails over the weekend!
you can find it online on the aqa website

There's no seen fieldwork in this exam. There's unseen fieldwork and the pre-release. Make sure you know about the pre-release and the general idea of it, as you'll be asked questions on it. You'll need to use your knowledge from across the course, esepcially with your 6 and 9 markers.

There will be some maths (nothing more challenging than foundation though), so make sure that you know your range, median, mode etc.

For unseen fieldwork, it would be best to revise the key terms and know the different types graphs used to represent data.

It will be a new copy - so without any of your annotations on it but yes, it will contain the same information
