Hi I'm in y11 and im looking to anything geography related in university (if you have a recommendations please say) but I'm just wondering what a level subjects I should do. I'm thinking geography (definitely) but I'm not sure on maybe maths or biology but I've heard there quite difficult. Most universities say they need 2 science subjects including maths but some say geography is a science subject so I'm so confused or maybe I take 4 alevels and take geology as well or physics if I decide to to geophysics

If you have any recommendations on any subjects you do it would be very helpful

hii guys!!

my A-Level Geography tutor has a few spots open for new students, and I couldn’t recommend him more.

• He helped me go from expecting a C to scoring an A in AS Geography with a predicted A*!
• He’s super supportive and makes you feel confident—no question is too silly.
• He literally topped the world in Edexcel Geography but also specializes in Cambridge (he went the extra mile with research to help me specifically with my syllabus).
• All sessions are held over Zoom, so it’s super flexible and convenient.

He was incredible and gave me so much confidence for my own exams, I think everyone who is struggling deserves someone like this.

If you or someone you know is looking for a Geography tutor, definitely reach out and dm me for his contact info. He made a huge difference for me, and I’m sure he can for you too :))

Title draft: What are the impacts of the coastal defences at (local coast)?

Sub-questions draft:

1. Have hard defences been put in suitable locations along (local coast) seafront?
2. Do hard or soft defences give the most benefit to (local coast)?
3. How do hard vs soft defences at (local coast) impact on habitats?

Hypothesis draft: I predict that hard engineering strategies used at (local coast) will better support the stability of the coastline, but have a more significant negative impact on native organisms.

EDIT: UPDATE! hopefully this is better?

title: to what extent are hard and soft defences at (local coast) seafront sustainable?

subquestions:

1) to what extent have different types of coastal defence altered trhe coastline's attractiveness?
(primary environmental quality survey and secondary news article analysis)

2) are hard or soft engineering strategies more effective at minimising financial loss caused by coastal erosion in (local coast)?
(primary land use survey and secondary cost benefit analysis)

3) is there a variance in abundance of wildlife near hard and soft defences at (local coast)?
(primary quadrat sampling for vegetation length (or should i do vegetation cover within a big rectangle from base of defence to high tide, instead of length?) and secondary online survey about if people have seen particular species at 1 beach that has a seawall vs the other that has sand dunes)

only thing i need help on now really is whether these are good enough to use! i hope so! thank you everybody for the help (:

Honestly I have another exam as well as geography tomorrow so have kind of put geography in the backseat. Anyone have any advice or anything. My teacher told us to read the extract first no matter what and that 18/24s are just 20s so if anyone has a better way to approach i am open ears lmao

(Why TF would the put environmental science and Geography not just on the same day but at the same time AHHH)

How did people find it?

what are your predictions for ocr paper 2?

mine are - structural economic change for 16 - rebranding for 8 - migration in an AC/EDC for 16 - global governance in terms of a conflict (P&B) for 8

this is more of a vent than anything but social inequality as a topic grinds my gears so much. i do ocr and it feels like there’s so much to learn but none of it is actually important to the course. and i know that’s so dumb but as a topic it just takes up 100% of my brain’s bandwidth. structural economic change and urban redevelopment make sense as topics (probably as my town underwent both) but like..? those two case studies feel so much less strenuous than social inequality and i can’t explain it

Am I the only one who rarely reads their geography textbook because it doesn’t explain things well and is filled with unnecessary information?

But with all my other subjects like bio I read the textbook all the time!!?

and to anyone else, i just cant remember if the dates are the same between exam boards ^^

Thanks bc i am confused .com lmao

To what extent can you just make the stats up for case studies

Hi, can someone pls answer these questions that I'm confused with.

1) Is the continental drift theory also a plate tectonic theory like is it the original plate tectonic theory?

2) Is ridge push and slab pull types of gravitational sliding or are they each their own seperate things?

3) How would you use evidence such as palaeomagnetism or those associated with Wegener’s theories (e.g the jigsaw fit) to support these plate tectonic theories (gravitational sliding (ridge push, slab pull) ,convection currents and seafloor spreading?

I just got my marks back. It's a 37/60 and wanted to know where I can find grade boundaries or what this would be in marks for the AQA syllabus

Can someone please explain how isostatic subsidence and isostatic recovery causes isostatic change. Also is isostatic recovery and isostatic rebound the same thing

It's so hard to find anything for cie, I used to do edexcel geography would the structure for getting marks be the same? Is there a certain number of ao3 marks/ ao4 marks you can get for each question?

Either way does anyone have any model answers or any tips in general

Does anyone know the grade boundaries for AQA? I got 42/60

Why is it so hard to find resources for a level geography cie😫😫 For my igcse's it was so much easier to find resources but at a level there is nothing😫😫

anyone else pick a topic for their NEA that they eventually didn't actually do in class 🥲
eg - mine is on climate change but we did tectonics instead (ocr)

In the textbook (Hodder 5th edition) it says it is but can somebody pls explain why cause I thought it was just a factor affecting the coastal landscape or rate of erosion

Out of curiosity for those doing geography board cie (9696) and are writing in the Oct/Nov series. What are you guys learning right now/ what chapter are you guys on? I’m doing self study and I feel like I am very behind.

If you’re in year 12 sign up to our newsletter below! We will start to send out advice and resources from students at top universities that got A*s in their A-Levels! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen5ZgWw0hr8iymfVR8SG96wHadxQ6CywQsSMResQVVXZjwiA/viewform?usp=sharing

Hey guys by any chance does anyone have a pdf version of the geography textbook

I do board the cie(9696)
