CE+REVISION

** Holiday Revision CE Candidates CHRISTMAS VACATION **
There are no past papers for the new specification of the Geography syllabus. With this in mind you should revise thoroughly the green Belinda Froud book you have been given.

In class we practised drawing neat diagrams. Go through the Belinda Froud book and practise and learn the diagrams. See how quickly and neatly you can draw them, this is excellent revision.

ALSO, you MUST learn your global locations. This section was very poorly done in the exam and there is NO excuse for this. Learn them. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest.

Play the geography map game. (But be aware that this does not replace careful revision and study) and it does not include just the places you need to learn, and many are missed out.

** Winchester Candidates **
Here is a past Winchester paper. There are NO Winchester back papers that exactly match the current syllabus. Keep in mind that the papers are based on:

1. Weather and Climate

2. Tectonics

3. Rivers and Coasts

4. Economic Activity

5. Environment

Your topics are:

1. Weather and Climate

2. Tectonics

3. Rivers and Coasts

4. Transport and Industry

5. Population and Settlement

With a focus on environment and sustainability throughtout the course.

As you noticed from the mock examination the Winchester paper requires you to know the CE course thoroughly and to be a little more able to think things through. (Actually this is what the CE course is slowly becoming more like). In any case, best to not just answer the questions, but look at this paper and the paper you did this term, to get to understand the way the questions are structured. You are also expected to use your geographical knowledge to answer questions that are based on further resource material.

Here is the 2009 paper.

You might want to work through the paper without keeping to the time limit. Work through it to try to get the best and strongest answers you can. This will be a very useful exercise for you.
