    Is it just me or does anyone else feel that theres just too much too learn in this section?

    What are the best essays to learn to give you the best chance if being able to answer a full question on it?

    I guess the most common things they ask are the primary/secondary/tertiary activities in the different regions. Beside them go over culture in India,Gaeltacht and Belgium.
    I cannot think of anymore of the top of my head but population distribution and growth of cities may come up now and again :)
    Looking through the exam papers I'd say is your best bet of familiarising yourself with essays which may come up!

    Development of an Urban Region This is mostly:

    (European region) Paris Basin.

    Enlargement/Expansion of the European Union on Ireland







    Of course there are a lot more, but they're the ones that I have concentrated on before. If you haven't got it, buy 'Exam Skills' by Sue Honan. Learn to understand the question asked, rather than rote learn, as you'll be more prepared for any surprises on the exam day.

    How I take it, is take for example Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Activities, I would learn West of Ireland, then the GDA, and compare the two. Underline contrasts between the two. Underline key terms. Take in 15 relevant SRPs. Draw out mind maps/whatever helps you learn.



    These are just off of the top of my head, if anyone wants any help or sample answers just PM, I have a few Regional ones lying around.
    Hope it helps someone in some way. :)
