Hi! i have no clue how to revise. I can't read info in a book, its just so boring and there is SO MUCH!! and also it just comes in one ear and out the other. I revise best by watching fun, animated videos, but i can't find any videos that allows me to stay focused and a video that isn't 5hours long. Any advise on revision i would really appreciate it, since the exam is tomorrow.

Your Physical ( beach or river, whichever one you learnt at school) and human ( Urban areas or Rural settlements, also which ever one you learnt at school), and you'll also will need to know somethings, not much, about your chosen UK city (mine in London)

is it right that we don't need to know that many stats as most of the 8 markers will be on figures apart from some for your chosen city.
Do we need to know any stats about the beach/river or the urban location for fieldwork?

During mocks and other times i have never wrote stats for beach/river, and in the markscheme, most of the time it just says that you need to know equipment, the process, safety and stuff like that. I never learn stats because 99.99% of the time it's just figures so it'll be fine.

Was it just me or was the timing so difficult because I basically had to rush all of my topic 6 and other people just didn’t get enough time to do the 8 markers.

Yeah, same here. I'm so devastated - I left all 8 markers until last and didn't have time for either of the fieldwork ones. I'm so disappointed. I'd like to do geo next year, hopefully papers 1 and 3 will save my grade 9 :frown:
