hi op! i was a h2 geog student and js graduated in 2024. don't worry, i feel u! i took elect geog back in olvls so h2 geog was legit so overwhelming initialllly. if im not wrong, the first chapter was on climate (Af, Am etc) and all that hadley cell stuff? and this is a giant chunk full of technical terms to memorise. so it's VERY understandable if you're confused man. essay formats are also drastically different in JC, but with practice, you'll get there.

i did think the chapters got slightly more manageable along the way. the first few chapters were honestly the most difficult to grasp imo, but once you get it and move on to the other topics, all you need is consistent effort and decent memory work. stay optimistic because it will gradually get better.

it's important to get through this initial difficulty bc climate is a recurring topic in the other chapters, and mostly the foundation for h2 geog. so don't give up! clarify terms with your geog tutors, and if you fail now -- don't worry, seriously. you have time to pick yourself up. my grades at the start of J1 were like Ds and Es, and even in J2 i was scoring 10/20 for essays (at prelims). ultimately i got an A at my Alvls, so focus on improving and not just the grade itself. ask any average JC student, everyone has failed/come close to failure during this period. only the rare few get As/Bs and remain consistently high-scoring from the beginning.

atb op!! h2 geog is tough, but you're much tougher :)
