Thanks for replying I and my new geography teachers agree with these key topics for paper 2
How was paper 1?
(My old Geography teacher hasn't been in since 19th April we haven't been told why but I suspect it's jury service as we are told he isn't ill)

The format seemed a little bit odd but I liked the paper especially with only 2 8-markers. I know that I lost 1 mark for the 2 marker about data-presentation techniques but apart from that I think I only lost marks on not explaining enough. If you can remember what did you put for the sponge road question?

i think it's great personally too due to the resource booklet!although i'm not sure why i am feeling slightly nervous about the paper but hoping it's got some good topics that you can link with a lot of things

Could things about like rivers,river formations,erosion etc come up(i hope it doesn't-i'd prefer things like climate change,devlopment,urbanisation etc)

How did everyone find it?
Also for paper 3 - is everyone doing Changes over time and mitigating risk?

How did everyone find it?
I found it great. I realised that I put about drought resistant crops for the questions about new technology but I had plenty of time to retype my answer to these questions. I put loads for the 12-marker and chose sand dams as the best option for Bahrain.

not best but not worst. Bro I screwed up the median question. I put it in order -16,-16,-21, 200, not -21, -16, -16, 200 😭😭😭

Everybody doing this exam specification for this year's GCSEs have these two topics. However the topics change every year so current YR10s using this exam specification have different topics.
