how do you guys manage your timing in paper 3? in paper 1 and 2 i tried to stick to a system of like 25 mins for 20 marker, 15 minutes for 12... still didnt follow it but... just unsure what to do for paper 3. i want to spend longer on the 24 marker, do any of you guys do the 24 marker before the 18?

According to my teacher it’s better to do the questions in order because one question may link to the next, not 100% sure tho 🤷*♂️

guys if a q like an 8 marker asks about something in a specific country which the resource booklet is based on, can i use my case studies? e.g. like the 2019 paper asked analyse the relationship between earthquake risk and population density in the Japanese archipelago. If i mention japan and the figure, can I also use other case studies like haiti to support my points saying how the relationship can also be exemplified through haiti or should I not because the question only asks about the Japanese archipelago? thankkksss

It was all based on Haiti, like neo colonaism, IGOS was the 24 marker, how it suffers lots of hazards and yeah forgot the rest

its prolly best to have some general case studies on hand (for AO1 marks). AO3 is earned through references to the resource booklet (from what i know), but you still need AO1 and AO2 as you would use for p1 and 2.

when a q says to study figure 2 figure 3a and figure 3b in the resource booklet and asks a q, do i have to use all 3 of those figures? especially cuz its an 8 marker i dont feel the need to. also am i allowed to reference the previous figures (figure 1) too for that q?

Anybody got any predictions for the country or area that will come up? I think theres soo much they could ask on tbh. They have whole continents a few times like South and Latin America so naybe they ask Africa as this links in with the spec a fair bit. Could also be middle east as its pretty relevant too for both physical and human.

i have a feeling it will finally be the middle east - superpowers and water as the main points prob (based off the transboundary water conflicts question last year that didn't go too well so they are likely to have the topic resurface)

Does anyone actually know how to answer an 8 mark analyse question? My teacher recommended to spend 10+ minutes on one, but I'm a bit lost for structure?
