In my school we're doing the Plate Tectonics and Glaciers units, [Theme A and D]. Tectonics is mostly grand, a diagram question on destructive boundaries and volcanic hazards and benefits would be awesome, and the case studies for that side are great too!

Glaciers are a little more tricky, but a mitigation or adaption question with glacier process shenanigans would be great. Here's hoping for the best [:

There's still lots of time!

I would try to learn all the case studies first that may come up depending on what Option you're doing on the course, as 4 of them are guaranteed to come up, [but of course, you can choose which one to do].

Afterwards, do as many PPQs as you can, it'll help a lot! If there's a question you come across in them you can't answer, use your learning material from your teacher or the CCEA textbooks to get a better grip at it. The more you do, the better [:

Honestly humans a lot easier than physical in my opinion (we do ethnic diversity and sustainable settlements). In our mock I got 92% and that was only revising case studies so I should be with the normal content.

The issue is there is like 6 huge case studies and I have 5 exams within the next week and a bit
Good luck guys! If u need anything extra just give me a dm and id be happy to help i got a A in the 2022 srs x
