don't worry, be confident!

What do you need to revise ? 

So, you've worked hard all year and completed a huge amount of work. From the heights of Everest to the lows of sinkholes in Florida, you've studied a huge amount. Below is a list of things you will need to know for your examination. You will see that certain units of work do not appear and that the exam is split into two sections:

Section A - Mount Everest
Section B - Globalization & The Geography Of My Stuff

The total marks available for the paper is 70 and you have 55 minutes to complete it all. You must try your best to complete all of the questions. However we also know that English is not everybody's first language and so if you run out of time, we will grade you only on the work that you have completed and not take marks off for questions that you have not had time to do.
