Geography B Edexcel

Hello, I need help with Geography B Edexcel.

Firstly, there are like NO RESOURCES WHATSOEVER?! I look online, the case studies online are completely different from case studies I vaguely remember learning and I have no clue what I'm doing, no clue what case studies I need and no clue how to answer any questions.
Secondly, the grade boundaries are CRAZY?!! I literally am getting like grade 7s - 9s in other subjects and this is just cooking me due to the grade boundaries. I thought it would just take a little common sense to be able to get a 4 even but no, a 4 is pretty much going over the whole syllabus and still getting questions wrong.

Also I have tried past papers, no clue what they're waffling about, specifically in paper 2 geography. Paper 1 is more understandable but what the hell.
If anyone has any tips or resources or anything please help me thank you! :smile:

hello, i do geography A edexcel!! i can't seem to find much anywhere for mine either so i'll just share my tips - they might be different for B but should be quite generic for the whole of geography.

i like using youtube for explainers if i don't get stuff. some are exam board specific but most just explain different processes. there's no specific channels, i just go on there and look

recently i've started using Seneca a lot, lots of revision resources, different options based on your specification, tonnes of lessons including case studies (which may be different to the ones you do in class).

a lot of edexcel geog is about application. yes you may know the stuff. but can you explain it? can you evaluate different strategies, effects, programmes etc? benefits/drawbacks? social/economic/environmental? etc etc. focus on your exam technique as well, the mark schemes are very similar each year so once you understand how to answer past ppaer questions, you will probably be alright!

after doing the seneca/youtube stuff i use remnote for making notes. i only started this for geog a week ago but i have used it for separate science and d&t (both AQA) and it is super super helpful! you can make notes really easily and make flashcards using them and i love it.

hope this helps! feel free to ask more but i have tried to explain it as best i can. lock in now because there is lots of content to get through!
