Does anyone know what kind of questions/topics will come up this year? x

I wish I did!

Thats what I hate most about the subject... you need to learn so mucha nd like 10% comes up.. and it's always the omne thing you havnt learned that comes up

LOL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STUDY! I BECAME A BIG BROTHER THIS MORNING! =D

To be honest, i'm really nervous because i don't know what to revise. I wish i could predict which questions will come up.

How exactly is anyone supposed to know what questions are going to come up? I know how you feel but come on what's the point in an exam if you knew what was going to come up, that would make it easy. The whole point is to test your knowledge of the whole course. If you have revised most things you will be able to have a bash at most questions, common sense often comes into play if you forget some things. It's unfortunate but you have to revise everything if you want to secure a good grade. It sucks but it is well worth it! Sorry if this has turned into a bit of a rant! Good luck guys!

yeh but sometimes people are able to make a guess of what might come up because of stuff that has or hasnt came up the past few years.. and congratulations allan is it a girl or boy??

Revising everything is the best fail safe plan you could possibly have, no doubt about it, predicting what is going to come up is very risky, as the SQA could throw a surprising paper in for that year, for example that happened with AH Maths last year.

Obviously because the four fixed questions in paper one are being randomized this year, i dont know which of these will be compulsory and which will be in the elective bits, but, here's my guesses....


1) Atmosphere - Insolation/Energy Transfer
2) Lithosphere - formation of features in either glaciated or limestone landscape (hopefully glaciated )
[this might be the OS map question]
3) Rural - Intensive Peasant Farming
4) Urban - Regeneration? or change in the CBD?
5) Hydrosphere - Hydrological Cycle
6) Biosphere - really want a climax vegetation question, but think they might be mean and put in soil profiles again this year...
7) Population - it'll be a demographic transition model question, maybe comparing EMDC and ELDC?
8) Industry - every year these questions are the same lol It'll either be why did industry flourish in Area X, or explain why industry declined in the place that you studied

We only do 'Rural Land Resources' and 'Development and Health' but all these questions are practically identical every year so should be interesting...

i dont think climax vegetation is in the course anymore.. i think for biosphere the only thing u have to do is soil profiles and factors of soil formation. aah the exam is looming lol!
