Is that just four essays in total? I dont do geoecology so I dont know how that ones laid out, but I wouldnt be too sure if 4 essays is enough?
For my option I'm not even sure what I'll be learning :pac: But I'd try to get at least 6 with the widest variety possible, unless geoecology is repetitive

Oops, forgot one. Yeah 5 in all I was thinking. :SIs that just four essays in total? I dont do geoecology so I dont know how that ones laid out, but I wouldnt be too sure if 4 essays is enough?

5 would probably be enough actually because the 4 options dont seem to have a huge variety, my teacher just drilled the fear of god into me because he did every question on the syllabus and yeah, there was loads :pac: I'd just say to have a general idea of most and know 5/6 essays in depth should be grand 0

Well from the 5 in the list above ^:5 would probably be enough actually because the 4 options dont seem to have a huge variety, my teacher just drilled the fear of god into me because he did every question on the syllabus and yeah, there was loads :pac: I'd just say to have a general idea of most and know 5/6 essays in depth should be grand

2008- 2 of those came up
2007- 3 of those came up

I did the exact same ones, but my characteristics of a biome and animal/plant adaptations were in the same essay.
Go full marks on it in the mock anyways, and you could save yourself some work.
So yeah, think those should be fine 0 -

Yeah I'm doing the exact same but rather than characteristics of a biome I'm doing 2 soil forming processes. Didn't characteristics of a biome come up in the last 2 years? Not too sure if that'd come up tbh! Still though, you'll be fine!
Btw, how long are your option essays in length? Is 2 and a half the ideal length or..?
Mine or all at least 3 1/2 - 4 pages.
Quality not quantity though I guess.
If you can fit your 40 srps into 2 1/2 pages then thats perfect 0 -

40 srps?! Its 24!
My teacher actually does it as 40 too...but it is 24, just look at the marking scheme Personally I do it in bullets coz he says we can (even though I know you cant) and it takes me..3 pages? But my option needs diagrams too. 0 -

How is it 24? I dont understand
I spose diagrams can make up to 6 marks, I still dont get the 24 srps though.0 -
Never looked at the marking scheme I take it? :P
3 headings = 8 srps under each. Then you get marks for getting srps!
4 headings = 6 srps each, and 4 marks graded. So getting 6 srps would net you the four extra marks, but only getting 5 srps might mean you only get 3 of them which would be 4 + (5x2) + 3 = 17/20 0 -

No, marking schemes confuse me
I get it now though
Still think Im gonna keep mine the same though, just cos I have them learnt, but at least I know now if I'm stuck for time I can leave out a few.
Thanks 0 -
