As the fieldwork topics change every year, everybody doing my school's Geography exam board specification (WJEC Eduqas B) nationally, has a mock paper at the same time.

Heyyy!!

I do AQA Geography.

I loveee paper 1 especially coasts cause its soo clear and concise. But I really love the subject and my teacher is soo amazing.

I find paper 2 most challenging so human geography and I don't really like paper 3 - fieldwork so I'm hoping to improve on them

heyy i do edexcel b geography! make sure you use as many key words as u can in your answers and also in the long answer questions e.g. case studies try and include as many stats as possible. dw if u can't remember them, u can just make them up (make sure they're within reason tho!)

i mean I've never used oxford revise before so idrk... but for me personally I've found the cgp revision guide quite useful and also topic summary videos on yt. you can also use the yt videos for blurting too, which is what i sometimes do before a test!

AQA Geography pre-release/paper 3 questions:

A)Wth am I actually meant to be doing with the pre-release…

B)What do we think the questions are going to be, based on the pre-release?

C)I think at-least 1 question is going to ask “do you think it should go ahead”- so what do you guys think, should it go ahead, what points should I be making?

D)At what amount of marks is it not appropriate to do bullet-points?
I usually answer 4 markers and occasionally 6 markers in bullet-points, and I’m wondering if that’s an acceptable way to answer a question worth 6 marks or more?

Sorry if these seem like obvious things, I only started a few months ago and I’ve barely had any lessons.
