Hi, I'm flowersinmyhair and I am aiming for a B in geography. I prefer the physical side of the course but I am better at the human side. I find memorising the different processes that take place in physical geography quite difficult which is where I tend to lose the most marks.

Anyone know where to get good resources for Geography. Also does anyone know where to find a better specification the one provided by AQA seems really waffly.

The CGP revision guide is good. I don't think there is a better spec honestly though.

Hey guys! How many hours of revision a night are you doing for geography? I'm just trying to work out if I am revising more or less than people from other schools. Thanks :smile:

None at the moment lol, but I really need to get my head in the game. I think I will aim for somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour but I need to plan that out first.

I'm aiming for a B too, maybe an A if my coursework mark is good 🙂 I struggle with 20 mark questions, never got above 14

I have little faith in my coursework so I'm relying on the exams. I find 20 markers vary quite a lot - I get anywhere from 7 marks to 18 lol

I'm aiming for a B too realistically but hoping for an A and same I sometimes struggle with 20 markers as well also what revision resource do you guys use? I can't find any other stuff apart from watching the curious geographer on YT, savemyexams and PMT
hiii, does anyone have any predictions for the upcoming exam and key areas to focus revision on?

my teacher was saying that carbon hasnt come up for a 20 marker in a long time, the past few years its been focussed on water so its likely the 20 marker will be something to do with that
but they can literally do anything 🥲

Your weaker areas of the physical paper, practise questions and past papers
