* Geography predictions / questions *

Mysteriouschic

I'm learning my essay off exam skills bullet pointing it all and putting it into my own words. I have loads of questions to study an learn off and need to practise maths. I have to cram tomorrow at 5am. Need to go over everything still have a quite a few notes to write. I hope pass I failed the mocks , I don't usually fail geography , I had a feeling I did though.

Hoping the questions won't be too hard. I'm guessing the papers only worth 80% with the project so should manage a pass . Aiming for at least a B2.
I'd love for "the adaption of plant and animals in biomes" to come up. I'm glad my geography teacher gave us loads of sample answers. The other class with the other teacher they all handed in the same project word to word and he hasn't even gone over their elective.

There was a question a few years ago, something along the lines of "examinine the development of any economic activity in...." Can this be primary, secondary or tertiary?

yea im wondering do people think plant and animal adaptations is likely it hasnt been up since 2006/7 and it was on my pre... id love it!

Would it be a bit cheeky to put in a map of the region you're talking about in an economic activites answer and expect a couple SRPs?? Just as a last resort...

Nah, Global Interdependence! I have 2 essays sorted for it, but getting real nervous now neither will come up, aha. So gotta do quick revision of the rest Hate morning exams after evening ones!

Haha same !

What essays have you done? I'm banking on Global Warming +Deforestation + Desertification OR Sustainable use of resources. I Might look over the Theories of development tonight though(Modern and post modern)

ya but im wonderin does the effect of climate on the biome kinda count as that q. seein as plants and animals have to adapt to climate so it would be almost the exact same answer...
climate influence came up last year or the year before lik.
opinions???

In short yes, yes it can!! Would love if that came up...

i would love if characteristics of a biome would come up but i have a feeling that human interaction will be the thing.

What have you learned for G.I? I am in desperate need of advice... I have an appalling teacher...:(:(

Hey everyone,

For the sake of reassurance can anyone tell me what they'll be writing about if asked:

Examine the main characteristics of a biome you have studied?

Thanks!

i'm doing the desert biome : deforestation ,tourism,intensive farming and settlement

brian93

I know there's loads of other geography threads, but this one is special

Can anyone suggest what other questions I should revise, pretty worried about this section

I've learned:

France re-development
Brazil colonialism
Comman agricultural policy
Conflict - the mayo gas pipeline one
Dell moving from ireland to poland

I feel I'm leaving out some. If you could just give me the name of some other questions to look over. Aiming for an A1!

roisin24

Thanks!!!

martyllia

Read through CFP as they can ask you about two policies

Fbjm

PLAN OF ACTION.

1. Answer ALL short questions.

2.Answer long questions I've studied, the surefire ones eg biome etc.

3. Anything unexpected - wing it.

I know roughly the same amount as I did last year, and I got a B last year. Just gotta maintain it

Gavarn

Really can't get the regional question info into my head. Any advice?? so much to learn and like 12 and a half hours to do it

don't think so there's anything else they can ask you bout biome
i think for the rainforest and human interaction you can use eco tourism ,deforestation,farming

aw great ! thanks a mill !

Right boys, a biome always comes up yeah?

So can I just study a biome as in the tropical rainforest as in not study soils at all, JUST the biome? So that I can answer any question on it?

That would work right?
