anyone have an exam tomorrow?
yes
Help needed <@&597283564295290880>
Idk
Same
any of u guys got case studies for human paper?
Can someone please send the notes for hydrology and fluvial geomorphology
Hi! I'm a Geography Teacher. Happy to help you on any questions you have 🙂
which A2 optional units are you familiar with
wattt
heyy 👋 does anyone have the feb/march 2023 paper for geography?
might want to check the pins in #as-general, that's where all of the f/m 2023 papers we have for AS are
hey, im a private candidate for geography and the source i used to use for the book just stopped working. Does anyone know any source for me to access the book?
anyone here doing Cambridge A2 this May?
hey
Is your offer still up?
hi everyone, idk if this is true or not but do we have to use case studies from our respective countries otherwise we'll gain less marks?
i dont think so
because not every country has the exact same problem that others have
for example if you are from Australia(just an example) you cant talk about "overpopulation in Australia" right?
oh okay thank you guyss
anyone got feb march 2023 for geo?
best of luck to the people with the exam tomorrow

thankyouu will need it for sure
cheers and yeah I'm stressed
hey
can we draw in 5, 8, and 15 mark questions???
even for 15 mark questions?
I just did my paper one for geo learn your massmovements
I DIDNT
LIKE KT
IKE IT
THAT MUCH
it was harder than i thoight jt would be 😭😭
Yup 😅
How did u guys do
I dont think i did well
Hbu?
I couldnt finish it on time dang
Well technically i did finish on time but i forgot to add details i planned in part 6c
Oh AINT no way it so bad
Section A so hard bruh
Section B is kind of expected
The wording 😭
What was the mass movement type
sameee I legit had no time for section B 15 mark question
I don’t think I did well..
Facts
What variant did u do tho
I did the 12 variant
Same
Same the questions were just not good this time even last series was better 😭
I couldnt even determine the anuual rainfall lolol
So frustrated rn ngl
Btw what was that
The annual rainfall at region A
I Just Said 150mm or something the yellow bar idk how to even read that, it’s a mixture of yellow and green ish
Did you have to write an exact number ??
Dangggg true you might be right
I wrote 115- 335 or some shit
It said “state” so yeah?
Oh ffs
What was the velocity at q1
Is it 30??
I couldnt read that graph like wtf
I said sand
The part a ii was confusing
What was it again?
Yeah sand is correct ig
What abt the mass movement was it landslide??
Velocity at which smth eroded
Idk i wrote slumps
Idk I said rockfall cause I saw rocks at the bottom of the slope 😂
How low does the GT go for geography P1 I bet it’s still gonna be like 30/60
Lmao i was thinking ab the same thing but rockfalls are diff man
35?
sAME
wait it's not rock fall?
I think that’s the highest it could be I think if many don’t find it well I think we could be expecting 30
Yeah it not 😦 according to people
too..
ROCK FALL
im gonna cry
If we all did bad then the GT will decrease lmao
Same Section A is rlly crazy 💀 section B have some recognizable questions from past papers
didn't it look like that
SECTION A WAS HARDER
THEN NROMAL
I AGREE
is that young larusso in your pic
ofc
MAN I REALLY THINK I FUCKED THIS PAPER
same
Same
ofc
Human is hard asf
IGTS EASIET FOR ME
cuz
its logical
like
MAKES SENSE
Well as a student from a LIC, i cant think from a person from a HIC
Or even if i could
😭
oh
Well idk whether my country is a lic or mic lolol
whats ur countr??
aye see ur applying huamn geography already
i believe so
😭
mic or hic
cuz MOST parts of china
r still developing
Yeah truu, who’s doing all 4 papers in one series??
did you guys get any qs abt plate tectonics
grazing
irrigation
abstraction
other factors like climate and geology
examples like Aswan Dam
and Kissimme River
I did atmosphere and weather because I got attracted to the enhanced greenhouse effect question 😂
mee
i wrote anout grazing urban and abstraction...
idk if its ENOUGH
But

dams
does anyone have detailed notes on mass movements?
How do u guys think the threshold gonna be like
depends on how good/bad we did lmao
z notes? lol
Oh it's not slide????

I think prob 30 or 32 max
I wrote slide as well ☠️☠️
I thought it was cuz of the scar and failure plane
Maybe both? There were some past questions allow both
Oh f I wrote the range too😅😅
im abt to do my exam in a few hours but for those who did it what should I be aware of😭
what topics came up?
the figures that were supposed to be easy were lowk hard😍
What was that last figure omy days
bro
ive enver seen such bad paper like this in my life
geois meant to be easy wtf was on that papper
is hjulstrom crve the same as hjulstrom graph
what was section B question 4
i cant remember
the 15 mark land use
a) i) was meander
ii) ground water
what was b question
yeah
the 8 marker?
yes
my was 12
i believe section A was hard for every zone
cuz I also struggled for Section A more than B
especially rocks and weathering question
the mass movement
the only part in A that was hard was the erosion depostition rubish
what other part was hard
people that didnt do igcse level wouldve really struggled for mass movement
i did gcses in a year and haven’t covered mass movements prob thats why it was hard
at least for me
no there is no mass movement in igvse
its just inteerpreting the ap
map*
WHAT WAS YOUR AREA
i got like 400
400m
Lima thing?
I think it was around that
I just want to forget about AS Physica
and got something more to worry about
Advanced Physical
Tropical Environments is such a bad topic, Hazardous Environment gonna save that paper hopefully
atmosphere and weather was dumb
the stuff about changing state
yeah same, doing tropical environments and hazardous too
barely started revising yet, going to be a busy 2 weeks
taking tonight off though lol, back to it tomorrow
tbf theres much less content than as its just difficult
yeah
and core human im literally gunna do the day before 🤣
just gotta know a bunch of stats and thats about it
yeah, that one is pretty simple
can anyone share good youtube playlist/crashcourse on human geography?
3 days left and I know little
Help needed <@&597283564295290880>
What are the most important case studies to remember for population & migration?
There ain't much on YouTube for as geo. Just use znotes it summaries everything will
Everyone has different case studies surely
It depends what your teacher teaches you
But for migration you’d need examples of like forced/voluntary and international/internal
Pls someone tell me how to attempt the paper my teacher dont even know anything 🤦♀️
Specifically 15 marks question
The main things u should be focusing on are:
- valid data and statistics to support the argument
- explanation/description of the issue(cause, reason, consequence)
- answering the question. For example, you should answer "I totally agree/disagree with the statement..." or "According to the examples that were provided, I've come to a conclusion where..." kinda like these ones.
- don't go off the topic. focus on the issue mentioned in the question
- develop and support every argument
Thank you soo much
Gave +1 rep to alex5o9#3262
one point max
I think we should have 3-4 points with examples and explanation with evaluative comment
No thats less
We have to write 2 pages in total making 7 paragraphs
First paragraph will be introduction and last one conclusion
You guys should learn at-least 6 points depending on the chapter
Same I am very grateful
What does it mean by developmental tho
Whys no one discussing 😭 plz discuss w me
what came up?
i believe how can for example a gamma city become an alpha city throughout time
Can I say how the city has to be connected with the rest of the world and the city must have like intl organizations like multinationa and a densely populated area??
ye prob
what was the question?
check ur dms
oh wait how did u find the 15 marker tho
settlements one did u do the migration one? 😭heard that was tough
that’s as the same whestion
i was like
wtf
nahh i did the population one
it was pretty easy
Yeah same
Hierarchy one?
Yeah lmao
I was stuck on the 6 marker for population for some reason
Couldn't think of anything
which was that
oh the first one
Why elder women live longer?
the 1c?
8 marker one?
Wasn't the 7 abt natural increase and infant
yeaa
Thailand wbu
yh fr how do u write 7 marks on that😭😭
china
Wasn't it about how development affects infant mortality rate
Yeah like if a country develops
i think that was ok
I only studied Japan lol
yea
Yeah
I SYIDIED japan mostly too
😭
studied
i just knew i wasn’t doing settlements 😭😭😭
that’s it
Samee lmao
i was gonna do population order migration
I hate when they link b to c
Exactly same here lmao
That paper was so tough
yeaa

What?? No calculators allowed??
It’s apparently because they dont work and dont have to stress about money and jobs

that’s what i put
Yes
maybe more men participate in jobs that require hard manual labor
such as construction idk
omg girl did u do urs yet??
I HOPE KT GOES WELLL IF U HAVÉNT !!
Check DM, want to check our calculations 😄
NAWW
I’m doing mine in like an hour and a half

Thank you!!
Gave +1 rep to tutrle#0
Someone told me it’s this one, idk which one to get 😭
Idk that one looks uh super old tho
I think it is recommended though
Go for the bigger textbook, I’d say
So I’ll get this one ?
Ig
PMT and Mrs Conrad have decent notes for geo if you need to supplement some stuff btw
thank youu!
Gave +1 rep to tutrle#0
Guysss
Are there any notes of as geo which are being currently used for the 2023 syllabus
Thanks alot
Gave +1 rep to living_orangevulture#0
What did everyone score??
Got an E, sadly
People got really bad grades this year are you going to resit?
I'll most likely resit in October November
Good luck you got this✨
Tbh this subject is quite rare and there are barely any notes
Getting desired grades is very difficult
is geography that difficult? i'm planning on self studying it for AS and A cause my school doesn't offer
hi anyone knws where to get case studies
depends, try looking thru the topics and see if u can understand anything'll
bc some of my friends say its really hard and some say its the easiest subject ever
u can choose 1 from 2 questions when it comes to the big mark questions i think
so thats really neat
hi are limestone and granite landscapes still in the syllabus?
does anyone bout the development hierarchy of citites
can someone please help with geography essays
i wanna learn how to write the best essays
idk
I can help if u need
been practicing a lot n got good techniques from my teacher
plzzzzzzzz doo
do u have an essay u can show me? I can help by telling u what u need to add for the extra marks
most of the time the marks come from the judgement statement and case studies
theyre all handwritten
yea thats fine I’ll try read them
anyway u can show me
ma laptops cam is terrible tooo
allgs I’ll try explaining it
so for example what topic u wanna write the essay about?
hydrology and fluvial geomorphology
is it ok if like i send u a paper n u show me the specifics of the essay writing of the question
for the intro, u wanna define key words in this question, channel flows
yeah yeah
then u can make your judgement statement
which is like, landuse changes can affect channel flows to a moderate extent
after that u can go into your essays and your case studies about the question
at the end of each paragraph u should come back to the judgement statement and just repeating what u said in the intro
in the paragraphs, u can say like, land use changes in this example only affect channel flows to a moderate extent because this change is small scale.
ok ok
i usually get like little marks for the conclusion
conclusion dont get u marks normally, in my conclusion I just say my judgement statement again
its really short doesn’t need to be long
ok thx fr
Can u send the insert?, I wanna try this paper
Thx
Gave +1 rep to hiimisaac2#0
Are u resitting oct/Nov?
I have to cram 💀
💀
mo im not
goodluck!!

Guys does anyone really understand atmosphere and weather😭need help with the whole topic
It's over
dang
Was it for all of you variant 12
Yeah
For me yes
I did 13
Notes on geo cause I’m bad at it
I did 12 also on the same day
I messed up on my case study
which question did u do on section b
😭 how did u mess up??
5
it didnt seem to bad 🤔
I can memorise my case study but idk how to write the structure
i did qstn 4 n it was act pretty ok
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry
Is Question 4 hydro?
I hope so
yesss
It's over for me
noooooooooo dont lose hope
They ain't gonna understand my shitty handwriting
if ur section a was good then itll probably cover for it
bro mine is worse than urs fr

I think I did OK with section A
ya then i dnt thnk u shud wworry
im serious
i tried to act make it look better duting the paper
but tbh the whole paper was act like easy
i expected some magic questions tht wud kill us
Fr
ive jst finished math rn
For A2 Geography are we expected to know the formation any mass movement besides avalanches?
Also, does anyone know how to answer a 20-mark question?
this as lol
Any notes on geography paper 2?
hey could someone help me with this 15 marker
not really sure what i would write for this
Completely agree. just give examples of a country with really low population and a country with a very high population, for example, Mongolia is a big country but has a very less population, and India is a big country and has a very huge population
this actually makes alot of sense
interesting choice of pfp btw
do u also have it on friday??
Ig that works tbh but don’t u need to argue against and for the statement to get higher level marks?
Thanks 💀💀💀💀urs is kinda creepy ngl
Gave +1 rep to hiimisaac2#0
nahh usually the mark scheme says as long as u fully give creedit to ur decision ull be fine
lol it is
i was dared to do it
urs is ksi 🤣
Oh dhit alr I didn’t know that
Yup
still cnt grow a full beard..................
bro check the mark schemes theyr total gems
do u have paper 2 geo on friday??
Yup
Im not rlly sure how external markers mark
Bc grade boundaries are so extremely low
For some reason
I swear geo is a piss easy subject idk how people aren’t getting that higher tbh
I checked it out for that question and ngl it was kinda ass
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
they always be like tht
and i hate it
Well there’s always a ton to talk abt ig markers can’t cover eveyrhting for u
honestly those cambridge guys jst want to torture us
Yeah variant 2
A level yapping
Bruh yeah the ms suck for paragraph and essay q
anyone got any essay exemplars for like migration or any of the human geo topics
omg, tmrw i'll hv paper 2 :/
Same. do you have any case studies on migration and settlement dynamics
are you zimbabwen?
where ya from im from uganda?
im zimbabwen- nigerian
which age groups should we take for dependency ratio?
some say [(population between 0-19) + (population over 60)] / (population between 20-59)
while others say [(population between 0-14) + (population over 65)] / (population between 15-64)
well id go for the latter since thats what most of my study material says but i think maybe it depends with the situation and with the country . like if for example in HICs most of the working population starts working around age 21 after university so it wouldnt really make sense to use the other dependency ratio age group of 0-14 as age group 15 till maybe like 19 are still in school and are not yet working
idk tho:(
Yeah I understand! Thanks!
Gave +1 rep to .rayi.#0
youre welcome. i highly suggest using the one you were taught with tho
I’m a private candidate and haven’t been taught anything 🫨
welpp
idk then
i also wasnt taught so just using the one thats common in my study material
Teachers dk shit
I asked them how to answer 15 marks Question they were like “follow the mark scheme” i was like nothing is clearly written on it its just bullet points i cant do that she goes you just gotta explain those bullet points and i got horrible grade in MAY JUNE 23 thanks to her now i am retaking it tomorrow
Also i regret taking this subject because it lacks soo much information and there is no book we can find, i asked my private teacher she gave me some rip off which wasnt even real
Apart from all that we dont know shit on how to attempt 15 marks question neither do teachers
This is the best way to attempt it tbh and make sure you guys learn as many case studies as possible and add them in every paragraph of your 15-8-7 marks Questions
Good luck everyone
What did you get in it?
I agree with you. doing more examples and past papers will help with your essay structure. however you only need this for your 15 marks questions 7-8 marks tend to have their marks towards the content more than the statement so don’t waste your time on the statement go straight for the content
no, i just study the basic one :))
if anyone just did paper 23 how did you find it
Lets not talk about that💀 i got a C
All ik is that i regret taking this subject i wish i never even looked at geo
Ok okay thank you ill make sure to do that but i heard it’s important to write from someone who got an A
Gave +1 rep to dyraklus#0
cool
nah nah the statement can help get more marks for u
yea the statement does get you more marks but only for questions that ask for a statement which are the 15 and 20 marks
Its better to mention as the ms says examples and further examples
yeah yeah but also the ones tht say like compare and contrast
thats not a statement question tho
compare is just when u say both side
u cant say I agree to a moderate extent for a compare question
well i mean u can but u wont get marks for it 8 marks question focus on content
but still tho....................... 😭
What did you get in your Alvls??
I’m doing my alvls on monday haha
Oh good luck i found it alot easier compared to AS ngl
any1 doing a paper this morning??
Me
cool
im suffering w settlement dynamics
like world cities n all tht
Fr its soo complicated
like some qstn says explaing the development of a hierarchy of world cities
exactly
You dont need to know that only need statistics that lead to alpha ++ and alpha -
ehhhhh then i need to study fr fr fr
Yeah if its a 5 marks Q you only need to know what leads to the alpha ++ category
Knowing which cities are in it is useless as there will be data given in insert
👍
am i gonna pass????? 😭
Look me personally
I got the lowest marks in this component 💀
Compared to my p1 p3 p4
And what got me a c was p2 me getting the lowest marks its lowkey embarrassing to tell
yeah sm writing involved
Thanks to my priv for teaching me absolutely nothing
ehhhhh fr
lol
Anyways if anyone new who is planning to take this subject DONT DO IT
Id rather take chemistry over geography but i am too late
yooooo id rather take geo over anything
i cnt handle equations n all tht
im lazy af 😭 😁
Trust me this subject is horrible
it really is but............
Also now i am following the footsteps of someone who got an A soo hopefully ill do perform better
Fr may we all pass
Amma leave now cause my paper starting in an hour
AMEN
Keep me updated on how you all do
You too
same tbh
I find geography super easy
which other subjects do you take?
geography is one of the easiest ones to pass
physics and math
yeah kinda
man there is no way you think those are better than geography
I did maths years ago early and never again
after AS I decided I’d never do A2 maths
they are
yo wht happened??
yea same with all the past papers its easier
yo we already done w the paper
it was super easy!
Thats what i said in May/june 23 and got shameful marks💀
I found it easy too but aint gonna say non cause the last time i said IT WAS SUPER EASY IT WAS AMAZING it went totally wrong💀
This is dumb me being happy soo i am gonna shutup now
Anyways i wish everyone get they desire
well I don’t care as long as I get an E. I’m already studying architecture in Spain but Spain just made a new policy saying your final 3 years of high school have to be in the same curriculum. So I had to do 3 A levels to meet the requirements
Lol E is impossible to get
Also idc no more
then I’ve done my part 😎
I got ungraded in p2 this summer💀
man wtf? how?
So the others went fabulous and this one is got horrific marks
well at least paper 2 is over!
EXACTLY if you see my old texts i was soo happy that it was soo easy
Soo rn i am just hoping for b or A thats what my uni wants
Cambridge hates me
hopefully my dude 🤞🏻
which other subjects are you doing?
I am doing 4
Business bio and evs
And geo
what’s evs?
Environmental management AS only
MAN I LOVE EM
Soo technically 3.5 but 💀
good shit
I didnt take it in gcse
I’m doing Business A2, Sociology A2, Geography A2 and did Maths AS in year 10
Fr barelt studied cause i had to give bio
Those sound amazing
Business is soo good
It was my fav
Id rather give business 4 times than retaking geo
no way hahaha
Cause that U in p2 is soo concerning
I don’t know I love geography so much rn
Same
I LOVE IT TOO its just that this incident really put me down
Alot of ppl got E and U in may june hope it doesnt happen with you
Wait you said you found it easy? Then why worry
Youll be fien
It was 17%
YOU ARE 23💀
I’m worried about business
Nvm you will get an A
yeah man I’m an architect next year 💀
I’m doing A levels while studying my 5th year in architecture school
Trust me. Its alot easier than geo be worried about geo id say💀
Hahaha then I got nothing to worry about
Lmfao i am moving to spain gonna apply with my C
If I knew Spain would do this I would have never moved here man
Thats what i said too in may june….anyways good luck youre 23 i am sure you did amazing
I just lost all confidence in me
yeah that happens at that age
I just go in and do the exam
Nah stay where you are
Hmmhmm
smoke with the exam coordinators afterwards 💀
Ahahhahahahaha
Our invigilators dont even give us 1 min too see what we did💀
They are like
PENS DOWN. TIME IS UP
hahaha probably because we are close in age we just act like friends
PLS MY INVIGILATOR SEEM OLD ASF
The women one is nice but the male one is…nvm
We women get along with one another 😎
Ahahah probably
fr it was
I feel like bc it was easy they’re prolly going to increase the grading threshold
How to structure a 9 mark question ?
I'm doing a2 and I don't even have a geography teacher
s?channel
anyone taking the as geo exam?
Geographic?
yeah
I am taking geo...
u done revising? @chrome badge
Not really
My concern is for atmorphere and weather tbh... i am really bad at the topic
same😂 i haven't even started atmosphere
Lmao
are there any znotes for as geography?
@stable vale No - would you like to write them?
Preferably not sorry @harsh kestrel
@stable vale haha np
After AS, i might help with the notes for geo
which case studies have you guys memorised?
XD none, i am going with 0 case studies
which variant did u do
12
Section A
Storm Hydrograph
Ocean Current
Mass Movement
Section B (i did hydrology)
- what is underground water recharge
- Types of flow
- how can channel straightening prevent flooding
- River Flood impact environment more than people.how far do you agree
what about weathering
There was none on weathering
In section b was formation of island arc and something else
for section a what came under mass movemeny
Its was soil creep and rock fall, identifying it on the diagram thing
It was the easiest
and the 5 mark qusstion?
also what came under ocean current section a
sorry if im asking too much lol
@chrome badge
Its ok
(a) Describe the pattern of ocean current in the southern hemisphere
(b) Describe from (a) that effects the seasonal variation in the southern hemisphere
(c) what else effect the (i think it was seasonal variation) in the southern hemisphere
It went something like tht
I disagree and gave 3 points with of course explanation
-it impacts welfare(healthcare and such), it has a destructive force if it is a flash flood tht can kill thousands
-destroys properties, high cost to repair damages done by the floods (examples and such
-destroys crops (i forgot what i explained here)
Then conclusion
thank you
No probs
Hey
Could someone help me write a essay

Help with what essay?
PEACH or PEEL can help in writing structure.
PEACH
P : Point
E : Explanation
A : Application
C : Chain of reasoning
H : However
PEEL
P : Point
E : Explanation
E : Example
L : Link
For each paragraph
U can use either
oh my thank ui
just in time
do u have example or
sentence starters
@chrome badge
what came? @stable vale
shitt it was soo gooood
true well for my career i don’t need it lmao @hearty basin
no one likes it in my class either
Lmao
i have no clue why i even take it
i have to say it’s somewhat decently interesting @hearty basin
but nothing
boring
Lmao
Hello everyone, I need to conduct a survey for a Geography Project about human rights. Can you guys please answer the survey. It Really helps

@urban folio it would be more effective if you pasted that in #chat-lounge tho
anybody doing AS geography in October November exams?
Yo is there anyone around?
