Don't worry, it's not the hardest subject in the world

For long questions
Know everything there is about O.S maps, settlement, photos etc.
Then all you have to do is pick 2 out of the other 4.
You can pretty much eliminate 1-2 sections of the course from your study, but you must know the other 2 really well to do so.

Short questions is mostly common sense, so you should be grand.

Although you could cram everything in a few hours, provided you payed attention in class over the last 3 years lol :P

The most important thing though, is to make sure you know how to structure your answers for the long questions.

Physical Geography- Description, Explanation, Example, Process, Diagram
Everything Else- Statement, Explanation, Example

Oh and don't forget case studies, make sure you don't mix them up whatever you do!

The stuff on SO maps comes up every year, and i think its the easiest from the long questions without having much to know.

Learn all the things you need, such as measuring the lengths of roads(i use the side of a piece of paper and move it with the curve of the road). You will also have to know how to draw the maps out again. Remembering to add in a title of the map and the name of the town/village. Another thing is usually what types of forestry and also why there is no construction over a certain part of the map, due to mountains,hills ect..

I do think there are other things but cant remember off the top of my head sorry.

Sorry for not having the exact terms, im an A student in geography but i do it all through irish :pac::pac:

Kinda in the same situation as OP here.

I know OS maps 100% <- they're grand.
And I've done all the years short q's
If I learn;
-Population
-rocks
-volcanos/fold mountains
-farming
-fishing
-urban problems
-settlement
D'ya think I could grab an A??

We did Egypt... But nobody has to do the same one. Do whatever one your teacher taught you. I know in my Revision book is something about France.

Im pretty sure process is the way in which the water erodes...
E.g. hydraulic action, attrition, abrasion etc.

Yah, the Central Valley project. Make sure you know when it started, advantages, disadvantages etc.
