Hi, i have a revision note presentation for half the first part of the syllabus. It also includes some case studies.

 

[NoNo_10]

Yes, yes, yes. THANK YOU!! =D YOU ARE AMAZING!! Wallah, I sweaar !!
I'm sorry I don't have anything right now that I can help you with, but if you didn't do the other exam (Paper 1) maybe I can give you some presentations the teacher sent me... When is your next Geography exam?

 

[AlphaWolf]

Actuall i think iam going to get a zero . I don't know what to do. The past papers from this site dont give the maps. my exam is tomorrow 10:30 and i din't even start. I think i will sleep early and wake up at 4:00. Didn't even do one past paper. Ahhh!

 

[AlphaWolf]

if you have any information plz tell me ASAP. Want to get A*. I think i to do do the whole course again in 2 hours.

 

[NoNo_10]

AlphaWolf don't I'm sure you are going to do well. You didn't practise map work in school? And if you wake up early tomorrow you will have plenty of time to go through map work. I think the link you shared is very good for that.

Ma sha Allah, you did excellent for homeschooled student =)

 

[AlphaWolf]

i know a friend in the UK who is also homeschooled, he is going to take 8 exams this year and probably A* and As. He was my main rival back at school. xD

 

[AlphaWolf]

Ok,know to do 2hours rev and 2h pastpapers. The only problem is that in the pastpaers the OS map is missing.Or is it only me???

 

[AlphaWolf]

thx those presentations really help. Off to do some past papers and we will sea how much i get. Exam at 1000, when is yours?

 

[AlphaWolf]

I cant do any pastpaper because they dont give the OS map so what's the point. When finding the distance in a OS map how do you use the scale to find the distance. Do you line the starting point on zero???

Oh btw, found something for you:

Does Anyone Else Have It With ICT Theory?! I'm Gonna Go Through Hell!

Paper 2:

Paper 2 is The Easiest Of All Papers. It Requires Skills such as knowing how to plot graphs, read maps, draw cross sections, plot employment structure points and interpret correlation between things on graphs for ex.

I suggest you have a general idea of how the symbols on the ordanance map look like so it saves up time. BTW There Is A Book Called Map Skills Geography For IGCSE. It is by Nelson Thornes And Is Really Good. If You Have Time Check Your Local Bookstore For It.

Go Through The Book Once several days before the exam because the questions could be about anything. G

Go to bed EARLY. My teacher told me to do this because if you sleep late you won't be able to concentrate.

Don't Spend Too Much Time Revising, Go Through Past Papers To Get A Solid Idea of how the questions are structured!

i Suggest That You Finish All The Questions Proceeding The 1st Map question, as it takes alot of time to find the things on the map.


Here is a site for tips for paper 2: http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE and GCSE Geography Skills (Paper 2) and http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE Geography Paper 2

Paper 1:

Paper 1 Is where you can choose themes that you are strongest in, which is great.

In The Syllabus They say that 2 questions are asked on each of the three themes , so 6 questions in all. You ONLY CHOOSE 3!! Dont waste your Time trying to solve them all, you wont do it properly, it is impossible to do it anyway.

Learn Some Good Case Studies and remember to include place specific information in part (c) of every question, try to discriminate it from general data like giving names of places and countries. This Is If You Want to get 7 marks out of 7. Most of the other questions require theory as well as thinking skills. So Dont Only Depend On the book. Geography is a lively course so it doesnt mean that you only write whats on the book in the exam. the examiners test your theory as well as your ability to analyse situations.

Paper 4:

Paper 4 is more of an analytical and thinking paper rather than theory. all of the information on the coursework the imaginary students do are given to you and hence all you need to do is extract them as well as use your mind to suggest hypothesis and data collection methods.
