Anyone wanna chat about geography, psychology or environmental science???
Yeah! I do environmental science (and chem and bio). How are you finding it... I'm currently feeling really overwhelmed with the amount of content, and just had a bad chapter 8 test result today lol. Keeping up the grind though
Absolutely! I do geography and psychology (and French), and am really enjoying them :smile: I did geography GCSE and loved it, and am loving it even more at A Level because there is extra focus on physical hehe. Do you prefer phys or human? As for psych, I never did it at GCSE but adore it!! Our teacher keeps on saying how sorry she is that we started on memory since it's "such a boring topic" but that perspective is the total opposite for me 😁 What topics r u doing at the moment?

Omg the content in environmental science is so much and it’s not even guessable the questions I feel like you either have to know it or not, also I’m finding that there isn’t many revision resources online as it’s so uncommon, are u dinging this too😭

To be honest I prefer human however I don’t hate physical we do coast and hazards and water and the carbon cycle is that the same for you? I also am doing c3 wich is like behaviour in psychology so like schizophrenia and autism and crime wich is really real interesting! Do you do coursework in geography because it’s absolutely draining me 😂

We do an NEA but since we've only just started Y12 I'm not there yet... thankfully. We don't do autism or crime in psych, but do schizophrenia, gender and aggression in paper 3 🙂 Geo is similar, I guess the only reason human isn't my fave is because place vs space is a bit "wishy washy" if you know what I mean. It's ok to understand, but not rlly an exciting topic. I would have loved to take enviro science, what's it like? 😆

Yes place vs space is a-bit meh but I enjoy it because I like the fact you can have an opinion on what you think about a place and how geography impacts it! As for environmental science yes it’s interesting, sometimes content heavy but the only thing I regret is taking both that an d geography as there is a big overlap and although it helps it can sometimes be annoying because I can get the questions mixed up in the 2 papers😂

Mainly struggling with the sheer amount of content, and how the specification, textbook and exam questions do not match up in many cases lol.

Hello. I'm also in Year 12 and I take Geography and Sociology (instead of Psychology) and History.
