    Theres been about 3 threads on this in the past two days buddy, read up :)
    Just write out sample answers with 15 SRPs and learn it off. Thats what I'm doing anyways.

    Find sample answers and break em down into 15 srps! around 10 of them are always so blatantly obvious!

    If you understand it, it's pretty easy to remember it when it comes to the exams.
    If you learn to remember, you'll forget.
    If you learn to understand, you'll remember.

    For regional, just try to logically understand the workings of that region.

    Hey i did geog paper last yr and got an A2.
    its not late at this stage to learn stuff hun BUT u ave 2 be clever in wat ur leaarnin. for eg i did biomes and learned everthing that was pooibe , ull find stuff overlaps so dont painic go over d questions dey can ask, a clever way 2 c wat dey avent asked yet as iTS A NE COURSE IS IT TO LOOK UP THE OUTCOMES ON THE SYALLBUS. ull get it on d dept website. landform will be up in phy (watch out 4 2 lf's) and trhe A part will be grand so focus on d c parts. thats were i wud put d work in. regional s v broad so just go over wat is easy 2 learn & b able 2 draw maps coz if u cant u might find a lovely ques but draw country in a part and dese marks sud be picked up easy.

    if uve any ques mail me

    keep d faith & be cute;) in ur learning and ull fly it

    Best of luck in ur exams:D

    oh ya 4 d short ques be sure u have a good grasp of map skills - background foreground etc....night b4 job!!!

    oh my God... im screwed in geog...
    wev never taken a geog note in our lifes... our teacher spends half the time talking about how he "hates the layout of this book" orrr.... hows hes been to all these different places (that he pays for with the money he gets for not teaching us, just babysitting us) , so now, we havnt got half of the course done. does anybody know what MNC i should use, or where to get notes on one? Iv been avoiding geography for as long as possible.. horrible horrible idea..

    DIAGRAMS-an easy 4-6 marks if your stuck
    Simple sketch a few labels and your out of trouble.

    Im going leaving a half a page at the end of the physical long question and any others i can think of a pretty picture for, at the end if theres time i will do a few sketchs. its a simple way to maximise marks

    *Best of Luck*
