    Does a meander count as a feature of deposition, because a lot of the formation also involves erosion. I know that levees and floodplains are due to deposition, but the meander is the only feature I really have enough SRPs on to write about for deposition.

    erosion and deposition... They probably wont specify in the question which they want so you will be able to use the meander.

    The culture in sub continental region really benefits those who did India, like the culture of the SW USA is kinda limited.

    I've revised literally hardly anything. I read through. Most of it's common sense tbh, it's just those phucking statistics I despise.

    40% is a pass. Therefore multiply the total points of the paper by .4 and she needs that to pass.

    Living dead i just started revising a hour ago and am typing out notes atm. I spent the day studying maths, honours level got a d3 in the mocks passing by one percent. Scrwed.

    My advice.
    Glance over physical. Usually its the part everyone knows better than teh rest. Keep in mind one irish landform formation, volcanos and earthquakes maybe.

    Regional. Pick one region from each part to look over. One irish, one european and one subcontinental. focus on primary secondary and tertiary activities in each.

    Econmic maybe look over mnc's and eu laws? thats what im doing.

    If ure option is geoecology, look over biomes it usually comes up.

    Thank you :) I'm not doing the economic option, I'm doing the human environment, I'm guessing they both suck?

    geography + maths on the same day, both HL shouldn't be allowed..

    i've had hardly any time for geography because maths is ridiculously time consuming!

    It'll be ok, just make sure to massage your wrist between exams.
    I had geography followed by home ec when I did mine. A LOT of writing.

    One thing about geography - watch your time, you dont' get enough time (even teachers agree) so make sure you don't dawdle on things, you can always go back if you have time to add extra bits.
