AQA AS Geography - GEOG1 - 19/05/09 -Official Discussion

How are you guys going about revising your case studies as I get the impression the 15mark questions will be based on case studies we've meant to have learnt. There are 19 case studies (or there about) so would you guys be learning all the points in all the case studies?

depends what case studies?

for migration:
economic migration from indian to dubai, just have a rough idea of the number, why they're going there and then the generic adv and disadv of this economic migration can be applied to dubai...

I think you might of miss read, I meant how are you going about revising it i.e are you learning ALL the case studies word for word or just learning a few in detail?

only one school..really? that must of been us then lol. I think coasts is the hardest out of rivers, pop and health tbh. Im predicted a B, i just hope i get a C, that gets me into uni. DOes anyone want to do geog at uni???

I find Geography hard because there aren't any books that "cut the crap". I feel everything is giving you loads of unnecessary background knowledge I think for the first time, it's fair to say I "freaked out" about an exam and I'm still not feeling better I just don't know what I need to know

I'm dropping it after AS as well, even though I have a knack for it, but can't be bothered to do it, it's not my interest. coasts is really easy I think. I'm predicted an A/B for GEOG1 and an A for health.

Although I dread the 15 mark questions, I hate putting in case studies and I forget figures easily, so i'll need to try and remember them

aqa endorsed book

I have the nelson Thornes book - no-one has mentioned this - is it as good as the other one?
I'm just finishing opff my glaciation and health issues notes at the moment, in preparation for a wonderful weekend of intensive revision!

We've got both the brown/gold book (by the examiner people) and the aqa endorsed (blue) nelson thornes one. I have to say, I think the gold one is better as it's concise and gives you everything you need (follows the spec exactly so anything that's on the exam must be in the book). The nelson thornes one is too waffley (is that a word?) - it's just filled with too much crap on some things, and then is too thin on other things, like rejuvenation.
