Geography feckin Geography

deisedolly

It's one day before the exam and I'm trying to cut off as much fat as I can with the study!
So I just wanted to ask would ye all think it would be ok to leave out most of the stuff on volcanoes and earthquakes and plate tectonics(i realise i will need a certain amount of knowledge on them for the short questions) and just learn rocks, as in the sample paper there is an entire question just on rocks allowing you to avoid plate tectonics and all that crap completly.

Or would this be a really foolish thing to do??

ahhh this cramming is killing me :mad:

no learn rocks and rivers or something.......

The way I see it there are three main areas: plate movement, rocks & surface processes (rivers/glaciation/mass movement). Learn two and you'll be fine. You could probably even do 1 and still be fine.

My teacher didn't do rivers, we did mass movement(soil creep, rotational slumping..)
If I have that and rocks should I be ok??

Funkstard

Yep. But know what all the other shít looks like for the short questions

deisedolly

Yeah I know yeah, ah christ there's so much stuff
Thanks for the help anyway, goodluck tomorrow

I got 73& in mock, but it was a very, very easy paper. Gonna do some serious crammage tonight.

I got 57% just got my honor lol. Im hoping to go up a lot in the real thing, plus my marks for my fieldwork should hopefully take me to a B or possibly higher depending on how much I can learn/bluff.

How long are you ment to spend on each question? I messed it up in the mock.

Maths has ruined this for me,this was potentially an A subject for me,but I haven't got to open a book for this due to studying maths paper 2 to save myself repeating.

Try to do the short questions in about 10minutes caeser,it will save you a lot of time everywhere else.That leaves you with 160minutes to do the 4 other sections at 40minutes per section.17minutes per B and C and 6 minutes per A.

casanova_kid

it says 30 minutes on each. But I don't reckon the 1st question will take that long.

it's geography. the most idiot proof subject in the LC.

have a bit of cop on and you'll get at least a C without trying.

Oh God...

I just looked through my South Asia notes and it turns out I have 30 A4 pages of practice questions with about 100 srps in each. That was when I was in some kind of study craze last week. It's actually scary looking over them theres like about 500 words on each page. Waaay too much information but I guess if I've too much I'll remember the basics tomorow.

I practiced 10 different possible questions and wrote them out over and over in tiny writing. I don't even really remeber it all. Can't figure out how I did it. I seriously think I've OCD from the stress

That was just for a 30 mark question.

I've to cover the Rock Cycle, all of the Human Elective, West Of Ireland, Geoecology and practice maps, tonight. I'll probably stay up till about 3 and sleep in till 11 or something.

I better not fail after all of this.

I feel your pain man.

I'm hoping against hope that i'll get away with two river landforms, human interaction with rivers, isostasy, human interaction with rocks, India, West of Ireland, mezzogiorno, MNC's, changes in economic patterns over time, the switch of the economic core from Wallonia to Flanders and the socio-economic causes and impacts of deforestation/desertification and global warming. if they all come up. i think i'm sorted.
