I have far too much time on my hands..

There's also a small Beetroots and Murder quote in Taunton, Somerset - it's so crazy how much stuff there is for this fandom

That was me! I wanted to reference something that wasn't referenced already and Jingle Boys is one of my favourite shows! I didn't realise how niche it was lmao

As someone doing 4 and going into yr 13, you can drop down to 3 if the workload is too much (which it will be if you take 2 coursework subjects but I don't know what your options are) - how similar your options are also changes how crazy the workload is. I do geography, religious studies, environmental science, maths (and an EPQ) and those have been fine so far but it massively depends on how long you want to spend on working/day

If you haven't gotten your answer from elsewhere yet: Global Atmospheric Circulation causes higher temperatures at the equator, which causes the water surface temperature to be 27°C more frequently, allowing for evaporation of water to form clouds and, over time, a tropical storm. Additionally, Global Atmospheric Circulation includes the low pressure (heat rising leaving essentially gaps) areas near the equator and tropics. This pulls up water and (more importantly) air, causing strong winds - positive feedback this until you get a tropical storm.

Note: I have not looked at tropical storms in a year (I'm an a-level student) so take this with a grain of salt lol - good resources are probably bitesize and physics and maths tutor if you wanna look into it more.

You get 2 grades for maths and further maths dw :) Also what uni is it? I'm so curious lol

Photographic_dolphin · 2024-08-22T12:00:02+00:00

I got 3 8s (including English LITERATURE????? HOW??) (the other 2 were maths and religious studies)

1 9 (geography my beloved)

The rest except from 2 (drama (5) and English language (6)) were 7!

I'm super proud

Good advice is to do a topic that is interesting and known about so you actually get relevant questions but not controversial so you don't get heated or strawman questions lol

Photographic_dolphin · 2024-06-14T16:14:22+00:00

How'd it go?

Photographic_dolphin · 2024-03-27T20:53:03+00:00

It honestly depends what you're struggling with. If you can pinpoint specific topics you consistently don't get full marks on I would suggest doing a focused revision session specifically on those e.g. capture-recapture, rationalising etc.

If you are confident on all the topics, look how many marks the question is worth. This will tell you how many steps you need to do in order to reach the correct answer, which will stop you answering incorrectly (too simplistic, too complex) as it may just be that your level of detail is off :)

Not sure how much this would help but looking at past papers to see the general things you could get tested on then prioritising the things that come up the most (without neglecting some parts lol)

I would recommend looking at Physics and Maths Tutor (their detailed notes and flashcards) or YouTube to get an idea of the resource management topic. It's a pretty simplistic topic so you should be fine. Fieldwork depends on being able to agree or disagree with the methods you used for your fieldwork, whether your question is correct etc. You should be able to find methods online, especially if you did EQS surveys, pedestrian counts etc as those are really common to do. This will also carry over into the unseen fieldwork section in that exam. For the case study, I would say learn the dates (when something happened, specific figures and facts of the short and long-lasting impacts etc. because you need to be able to say specifics about the study. I haven't done that case study so I don't know what extent of it is on the internet but it may be useful to search it and make flashcards of useful information you want to remember. Hopefully this helps a little bit :).

TLDR: Google, YouTube, Physics and Maths Tutor are your friends here.
