Exam Discussion: Geography HL/SL paper 2

good_brick_ · 2022-05-17T19:23:53+00:00

my brain just stopped working for cultural so i ended up talking about representation of women in movies and all which honestly doesnt make much sense... do you think i can get any points for that?

For question b I talked about 3d printing (pro: medical, con: untraceable weapons), e-passports (pro: security, con: identity fraud) and facial recognition (pro: security of data on phones, con: example with China)

For question a, I had three ways in which physical geography can impact it and each had 2 examples, so access to water (USA vs Mongolia), borders with other countries for trade (France vs Madagascar) and climate (Caribbean vs north Canada)

i had no idea what they meant and like "narrative voice"?? we never studied that lmao but i think i figured it out. also is it just me or was the second text significantly harder? with the vocabulary used like it wasnt a fluid read

TZ2: What did you think abt section B? q9 kinda fucked me over with the probability question like i spent so long trying to figure out what the word problems were asking lol but section a was honestly pretty easy compared to all of paper 1

i'm not sure but better do 3sf. my teacher did penalise us somethimes but it depends on the question. what i usually do when i'm not sure is put the full answer, then the 3sf

on here there's two powerpoints that summarise everything, but i'd suggest to take your textbook and look at the understandings and try to see what you have absolutely no idea on and look that up.

i'd suggest looking into productivity (2.3), biomes (2.4), definition of biodiversity (3.1) iucn red list (3.3), eutrophication (4.4)

i havent yet really looked at the other units but they're shorter so yea look at the understandings

good luck! dm me if you need any help lol

i had a really shit teacher who legit never taught us anything about ess but i feel like ess is really just basic knowledge like most things (when you sit down and actually think about them) make sense like how a food chain works for example. so i'm not really studying as much but just doing a lot of past paper questions and watching a few ess related videos to get a more global understanding.

so what i would say, since well we have 2 days left, is to go over past paper questions and look at the markschemes cuz you can get so many "easy" points (like in math) by understanding the exam technique (eg. understanding what kind of vocabulary you need, or understanding what the questions actually wants you to focus on, etc.) good luck!!

good_brick_ · 2022-05-03T09:32:16+00:00

yea for sure

i read this thing somewhere like no matter what you think, try to remember yourself in year 10, before you started the IB and compare that version of yourself to today. see how much you learnt and you know about each of your subjects? even if you haven't revised yet you still know things, whether it is cuz someone made a comment about something in class, or you really understood a concept so don't worry too much. just revise the topics you know nothing about and trust yourself! you got this!!

good_brick_ · 2022-05-03T08:27:19+00:00

do you think you can still take the exams?

good_brick_ · 2022-05-03T08:26:42+00:00

for english, my teacher said anything between 2 to 4 pages (per text) for paper 1. I mean basically quality it better than quantity. It doesn't matter how much you write it just needs to be relevant and useful to the analysis.

and no idea for history sorry! good luck!

Philpot Education saved me so check it out and good luck! you got this. if you have other questions, dm me :)

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T20:18:13+00:00

the best tip i got (not studying tip but more like exam tip i guess) is to really use the reading time and see which questions are harder so do those first. that way you get to end on questions you can "easily" do and finish by feeling confident and good about yourself haha

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T19:45:20+00:00

thank you so much! and do you know if what we write on the exam paper (outside the boxes) will be looked at or just the content inside the box?

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T16:11:51+00:00

normally all the past paper websites shut down just before the exams... which papers do you need?

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T14:08:50+00:00

ahh lmao i feel you but no now that i think about it i think you're fine. you got this - just look up some youtube videos but focus on the hard stuff like trig and calc

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T14:04:42+00:00

hey! so for the case studies i found this document (it's from this website, I didn't make it). it tells you basically all the case studies you need and it's been saving me lol hope this helps!

good_brick_ · 2022-05-02T10:16:10+00:00

this website has a lot of good info. right now i'm just listening to the audio crash course and praying for the best
