HELP WITH GEOGRAPHY!

fongcy

i find the geography really hard.
i mean the essays are easy but we already done 70+ essays and in the mocks we only covered half of the essays!
i feel like any essay could come up??
i studied 20essays out of the 70 and only 2-3 i can do
i find it soooo hard so any tips to avoid some questions or do some essays?
im not expecting to know ALL essays am i?
by the way i feel that the amount of time in the exam is another difficulty.!

Essays do not come up, so it's pointless learning them off.

Questions come up and you must answer what is asked in the question, not jam some learned off essay into it.

There's no other way do the course apart from learning stuff off though.

If you learn off the SRPs and examples for each topic you can slot them in to fit the essays

Learn key facts. Instead of learning the order of 500~ words, you could learn 15 SRPs (heck, 1-3 SRPs can be given just be doing a good opening and diagram).

Keep memorizing as many essays as you can to cover all corners, its the only way if your weak in this subject.

while spurious is right, time is tight and i believe shortcuts must be taken, i am learning essays and believe will work for me, keep in mind MNC's and plate margins have a wide range of questions so prepare lots

Inhalerguy

Our teacher has told us to simply learn your SRPs (significant relevant points) and then be able to elaborate on everything but only elaborate/explain once (ie if chemical weathering is explained at the start there is no need to explain it again of its mentioned)
I've always been alright with geography by simple 'precise waffling' just write and write but keep it to the point and know these a per question and judge the time you should spend accordingly

Sometimes shortcuts turn out to be the long way round.
