I know the majority of the physical side, just trying to learn off geothermal energy and the Mississippi River now. Geo-ecology should be okay. For regional I know primary, secondary and tertiary for a euro region and Dublin, secondary and tertiary for sub continental.

Really not sure what else to look at at this stage. Any ideas?

Primary for Continental, have a look at BMW and Mezzogiorno, they could ask for a comparison

I got 35% in my mocks doing HL Geography. This time around including the field study which is worth 20 marks if I get 35% again will this help me pass??

Hate lc!

Anyone know any predictions for ordinary geography?

field study is worth 100 marks

8 mark per short Q.

Those bloody map questions/ordinance survey/grid reference questions will deffo be more than a minute long.

I have so much regional to learn don't know what ones to choose , have Mezzogiorno primary secondary and tertiary that's all

You've 3 minutes per short Q, alright enough considering you'll get the tables and all that done in 30 seconds.

Most recommendations say 30 minutes for short questions, but when I do them it usually takes around ten or so. Is there something I'm missing here? How long does it take yous?

I worked this out before, if you got 50 marks out of your project you'll need something like 38% in the paper to pass overall.

I pray Characteristics of biome comes up

Is everyone studying BMW and GDA ?

For the impact of a human activity on fuvial processes, could you group hydroelectric dams and levees together and call it flood control or something? I'm struggling to get 15 srps with just one of them.

Would that not be looking for a case study? Like the TVA on the Mississippi River?

Yeah, the answer I have is a combination of the 3 Gorges Dam and Levees on the River Rhine.

Am I safe leaving out mass movement if I do fluvial landforms/human interaction with rivers? Time is of the essence :P

Yes.


Is this not common knowledge?

Does anyone have the timing for OL Geography? Would really appreciate it, was familiar with HL Geography marking but I'm not with this

Would I be safe in banking on human interaction with a biome?

I knew that, but I found a soil creep essay and said I better double check.
My brain is well and truly mush :pac:

hopefully im in the same situation

I was just wondering, is a biome question *always* guaranteed on the Geography paper? From looking through past papers, it seems to come up in at least one of the three Geoecology Qs every year, however I just want to be 100% sure I'm correct to avoid potentially losing a load of marks.

Ok so I know information about some questions but every time I see a 30 mark question I think you have to write around 2 pages and I just don't have enough information for that. I'd be happy with a C3 or a C2 in higher geography. Can someone help me out here, I'm panicking and just reading over the whole revise wise book now.

Well, even if you only know one essay from a question you can get 50/80 (presuming you knew what you were doing with the 20 marker. That's 62.5%, a C2. Do any small bit of work then on the part you don't know and you should get 60/80, 75%, a B2.

Sounds so much easier than it is :rolleyes:

Not my post!

But it was why I asked, I guessed he was confusing marks and percentage.

Calvin

Aiming for a B1 in this! 80 marks already got out of 480 for the project. Just need about 320/400 in this....cramming geoecology, can bullsh*t my way through regional, probably just read over physical geo notes

Mcd2812

Anyone else up studying? :P

brijay

is their a good chance of characteristics of biome coming up? give me hope somebody!
