- Sharing all the ways in which I revised for my GCSE geography exams! :)
This is the final video in my "how I revised" series, as I've now covered all the subjects that I personally studied (except for photography which I'm not going to do a video about). So for those asking for media, health and social etc., I wont be doing any videos on those subjects, simply because I didn't study them. :)

Summary of video:
1. CONDENSE NOTES.
2. MAKE A 'MEMORY MINDMAP'- without looking at notes, write down all you remember into the mindmap, then after check with the revision guide for any missed info.
3. MAKE FLASHCARDS FROM YOUR NOTES.
4. FOR CASE STUDIES- (learn them well) by taking info from research and online research and put them all into one word document.
5. TO SECURE TOP MARKS- practice regularly using exam style questions and past papers- then ask your teachers to mark them as FEEDBACK is vital.
Tyyyy
THANKS
really appreciate it
thank you, you're a legend!!
Geography is going well for me tbh, at times though it feels like I'm drowning in case studies and information about rivers
River is sucks ughhh
Geography is better than history at least
Just being eroded by exams
Mr Ping heck no I made the worst decision of my life choosing geography 😔 way too much info u have to remember about a freaking RIVER
I relate on a spiritual level
“take whats important” - THE WHOLE THING IS IMPORTANT😂
i click on to this and she says it took me ages and ages to do this nahhh hun iv got 1 night
Yeah me too, fuck. Good luck though
Maleeha Khan lol that’s me rn
what did you get in the end? xx
eve sofia i got a 98

@@willmcb9398 not gonna lie I have like 17 or more case studies like fml I'm dead
[Insert Text Here] ughhh same
Meeee x
3:38 - 4:00
I feel you 😂 the other day I spent hours to remember parts of the ear and eye for science and during the exam they only asked "what's the sensory organ used for hearing" 😐
Sarah Rizal I FEEL THIS ON SO MANY LEVELSSS ! I learn like the whole menstrual cycle and they ask " what is ovulation" REALLY lmao
Sarah Rizal seems like the recent biology exam looool #BOILED CARROTS
Relatable.
ARMY
This made me laugh :D X
i learned sm bout the heart for bio, my friend learnt bout eyes, we see the paper and were this close to ripping it apart, nth came, paper was literally vegan.
GEOGRAPHY IS MY WORST👎 SUBJECT📈 AND THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL🌏
Kulsuma Rashid omfds yessss .... we did year 11 mocks and everyone got 0 and 1s😭😭😭😭it’s so hard
Kulsuma Rashid loo
I'm in year 9 and my friends said they wish they did geography as their option but they said they regret doing history because history is too hard at least geography is better
@@trinityokoe-brown1108 from what I've done so far of my gcses is say geography is definitely harder as there is much more content but history is still not easy
Da N I did my geography year 11 mocks (2 papers) and got a grade 4 (C) on both.
I was just revising Geography perfect timing
Kaneki & Touka are you revising already? I need to get my life together 😂
omg sameee here i am behind a screen watching other people revise lol
Same I have my mock tomorrow
In contrast, I got an A in Geography GCSE in 2016. Coursework was A* and Exam was an A. At GCSE it's acceptable to know locations and dates but make up the figures. So my revision consisted of reading the book on the morning of the exams... I wouldn't recommend it but if you end up being one of those who, like me, didn't feel confident that they'd revised effectively, it is enough for the standard at GCSE. I'm doing A Level Geography this year and my advice is: Start revision from the first lesson on Day 1. I have held back and I'm currently working at D and C level which is nowhere near good enough for my predicted B/A.
Thank god you did this video i am really bad at geography and i don’t know how to revise. Thank you for this video it really helped me :)
i am also
Found this video a bit late, exam's tomorrow
Why did I find this video a month before GCSEs? 😭

Just read, make diagrams, and make tables also study geographical graphs. Also think about the types of questions your teacher was asking you during class work and homework. Geography is one of the easiest subject!
you are literally helping me so much im a year 9 who hasnt even picked their options yet lmao but it helps
Crazy that you’re sixth form now. What did you end up doing for GCSE if you don’t mind me asking? :)
@@cassiat4532 i did media and photography, computer science and ict didn’t do humanities or a language. i did triple science and maths and english, xxx
This was a really useful video Lydia!! This will really help me in studying for Geography next year as I'm taking Geography next year hehe. And ur hair is gorgeous omg!!
Alway count on you for the best revision videos❤️❤️love your hair❤️❤️

Thankyou so much for this video as I have a geography test soon at the start of next year and I’m panicking as my previous paper scores aren’t that good. I’m doing AQA and it’s actually really hard.
Your microphone is really crisp and clear

🙏🏼👏🏻 Please do a video on how you make mind maps 🙏🏼👏🏻
Hey Lydia,
I'm a new subscriber. So I currently am struggling to choose between history and geography because I have to choose my gcses soon. So, basically I find both history and geography interesting, however my grade in history is only 1 grade higher than geography. Also, I know that for history you have to revise so many dates, names of places and people and I don't have the best memory. But, geography is not so bad and as I scrolled down this comment section I saw that some mentioned that geography exams are really hard. If you could please give me your advice. And by the way I have to choose history OR geography, not both. Thanks, it would be great if you replied X
PS: I love youuu and your videos are so great ❤
in the exact same boat! Really struggling to decide :( Please someone help! I prefer Human Geography but I think I'll still be fine for physical... Also, how much human geography is involved? Thanks!
Aliza there’s 3 papers, physical, human, and geographical applications x
i’m not sure if i’m too late with this response but i do both history and geography so i feel i should shed some light on what they’re like. i’ve found history isn’t as memory dependant as you’d think; you really only need to know key events (like the construction of the berlin wall), why it occurred and its consequences. geography however, requires you to know the theory as well as case studies (history is basically one large case study whereas geography is theory + case study). this means you’d need to know the formation of a river for example, as well as the features of a specific river. i’ve found that geography is more difficult, purely because you need to wrap your head around the theory of geographical features as well as figures for a hurricane/river etc. i’d select the one you find easier to understand as i find history a lot more simplistic and easier to understand, though you may find some aspects of geography extremely basic, making it an easier subject to take for you. i hope this helps slightly xx
This is very late but anyone who is looking for advice I have some! So I do Geography, History and RE (all the humanities at my school) and it's actually fine. Geography is definitely the hardest in my opinion, RE is sooo easy (currently an 8) and I love history. In geography there's so much content and you have to be so so specific in your answer, idk if it's just the fact my teacher is so strict in marking but we get marked down or no marks at all for silly mistakes or getting structure of a question wrong?? History you just have to remember key events and the order in which they happened and in RE, it's just facts and basic knowledge!
Great video, great tips and GREAT HAIR!
Omg i have failed geography I got 40% in my test which is a 4 , but the boundaries are so high . What do I Do!!!!!!! Can I even improve in this short amount of time before gcse
Hi, I love your videos- I was wondering if you could do how to cope in test conditions because I always struggle with that (kind of like anxiety) also maths. I'm so lucky to have you helping me. Keep up the good work of these amazing videos.
I love your hair!!! I also chopped my hair last week!!!
ahh your hair 😍😍 I'm getting grade 9s in gcse geography currently but this was still helpful 😂
literally i cannot stress the importance of mind maps - im year 10 and currently at grade 9, i would be lost without mind maps
how do you make mind maps
you are literally AMAZING xx
Lydia Violeta you're so so so cute with your new haircut!!! I love your video!!! And I love you tooo
Omg I have been waiting for this for so long, it was so helpful Thankyou so much. Please can you also do a how I revised geography? xx
ItzAnesh isn’t what this videos about???
Geography is my favourite subject, I really would love to get a 7,8 or 9!
What did you get?
@@chronic___1729 8 :)
Znotes makes excellent compact notes!
In our trials we had at least 4 case studies in both papers, and they are my worst area ugh
Thanks very much for uploading
Really ♡ enjoyed it
Thanks so much for this video , I really appreciated this and btw may you tell me the background music you used for this video as I like it ! Thanks
Geography has always been my best subject but I’m actually really sad because in Australia we do VCE and I’m starting it next year but no one picks geography so I can’t learn it 😭 I’m really nervous because geography was going to boost my ATAR score :(
Btw so glad to watch this because geography is my FAVOURITE subject - I know yours is history and I also chose history too 😀
You have no idea how low these grade boundaries for 2018 AQA geography will be...
I love your hair x ❤
Please give me advice on what should i do before going to an exam. Thanks
What to do if you have low predicted grades and you think you can't pass the exams
I got really low predicted in geography and other subjects
Where is your jumper from? Love your hair btw xo
you inspired me a lot. i got straight As
3:56 how is that possible? i saw every past paper having those 7 marks questions asking about a case study?
Thank you soooooooooo much this is really helping and I get An A+!!!!!!!!!
