Define studying hard?!

I can answer this question by saying I'm doing a little study for Geog, none for maths. Might not be relevant tho seeing as I'm only doing pass maths.

I'm not studying for either because I'm crazy!

Geog all the way and a bit of history too.

Maths paper 2. I'll fail maths if I don't do very well in that paper. I'm not that worried about geography because I know enough of the economic and social stuff to get through it.

Maths. I made a mess of paper 1, and I need a C3 or above in honours.

Also, I got an A1 in the mocks for Geography, so I'm sorted tbh.

How is it possible to get an A1 in Geogers? :eek:

You can get it if you suck the your exam marker off.

What?

Geography and English are my worst subjects, same teacher for both. How do you suck up to the examiner though? Its not really a personal-engagement kind of subject, GG, is it?
All I know is you should write about four pieces of information for all antiquities/settlements/other in ordnance survey, don't just pinpoint the item, basically nail it to the spot (eg. one kilometre from the River X, to the north of the N99 about two kilometres south-west of Ytown at a height of 50m near an unnamed deciduous forest...blah blah blah...random bs amounting to four lines!) thats what we were told on a grinds course anyway!

Fieldwork. Learn it. 25%
Physical. Learn it. 25%
Mapwork. Keep talking for as long as possible. Stick in random Grid Refs. 20%
Regional. Learn countries. Learn few well, rather than lots a little. 20%

= 90% = A1

And btw, I wrote 28 pages in my mock to achieve that. Including diagrams it was another 4
