making it work for the exam
TRANSCRIPT
David Holmes, Principal Examiner Unit 2
To reinforce the assessment demands and importance of time management
To see how to prepare for different types of resource
To suggest some strategies to maximise potential marks
Describe – say what you see
Physical AND human
Focus on the coast section
Would have been good here to
create points of reference, e.g.
foreground background,
upper left quadrant etc
Try to go for a balanced range of ideas. Keep the writing ‘free of
fluff’
How many marks is this going to be
worth?
Detail, depth and looks at ‘roles’. Well
located.
Time management is critical for all of Unit 2 You need to very clear about the ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’
structure of the Unit 2 exam paper + tarrifs Quality not quantity – you don’t have to fill all
the space for an A grade (some Qs have lost of lines)
You should prepare your fieldwork and research notes so they are ‘revision friendly’
You need to manage time properly during the exam
Think about levels mark schemes, and how to ‘climb the steps’ (L1-L3/L4)
