My geog teacher thinks the "industrial location changing over time" ( british iron and steel industry) will come up in long questions. Also oil (Saudi Arabia) (long question)
Its hard to predict the long questions in geography but coastal deposition/erosion and river erosion/deposition are asked a lot . Il add more when im told by my teacher

thanks a mil dude!! and if your teacher says anymore, be sure to tell me

Mr. Rager

Rock types and population pyramids come up a lot

The thing is, for Geography, you need to have a good general knowledge of everything. They could really ask you anything in the long questions, even just small parts of the course.

If you can get your Ordnance Survey and Aerial Photograph question perfect before the exam, then you will only have to worry about answering two other questions.

Also, do the short questions carefully and do not rush through them. Though they seem easy, and they are, they are worth the same as two long questions, so it is worth taking your time.

My teacher who is UNREAL! (she predicted 70% to the now 4th years of what would come up last year!)

Predicted:
Soil
Urban geography
Volcanoes (always comes up)
Weather
Atmosphere (fronts, depressions, cyclones)
Acid rain


Hope this helped I'll be sure to reply if she predicts anymore!

Exempting soil and volcanoes, that's probably my least favourite stuff from the course wrapped up in a nice neat package....I always said I'd skip Urbanisation and Weather and hope for the best.

Errr I think the sea/glaciation is likely to come up...and populations is possible, what with the census being topical. Other than that, I dunno. Not awfully bothered really, Geography offers quite a bit of choice within the paper so out of the three or four things I really detest, I'll probably be able to dodge them. Hopefully.

Haha personally i love soil and volcanoes I think there pretty easy to learn but to each their own!!

Did you cover glaciation? We did the Sea instead since it's a choice question. Also another reason why the volcanoes are likely is because of the ash cloud that happened last year!!

Nah I mean I like Soil and Volcanoes (well, to an extent) but I hate the rest. We did the sea as well, it's fairly easy, I'm only learning bays and headlands, sand spit/tombolo/lagoon and how the sea is used and polluted. And yeah I think I remember my teacher saying that's why volcanoes might come up too, now that I think of it.

thanks for the feed back guys, helps alot really appreciate it

The easiest thing to prepare for it the Ordance Survey map and aerial photo questions. Learn the sketch mapping routine inside out (Title, frame, position and labels) - it's often answered badly because people think it's just drawing a nice picture! Learn the locations for Aerial photos (left foreground, left middle, right background etc etc) and use them whenever you mention something about the photo (gets you marks). Study your book on these chapters - there's stuff about settlement patterns, reasons why a town developed in it's location and all that jazz that is easy to apply to any map or photo once you've learned it off. (Think ancient - castles, forts, sea ports, river bridging points NOT tourist attractions or anything modern)
