Charizard Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 For reasons quite complicated and generally tangled, I am considering switching to geography! However, it is now April and I have missed just about the whole first year (I'm taking the May 2011 exams). I also know nothing about geography. My question is: How hard do you find geography, and do you think I'd have a chance if I switched now? Tell me about the IB assessments and what the exams are like and what you do and learn in class!

masochist Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I honestly don't find it too difficult. Yes there are lots to remember but if you start now, you'll be able to manage. Geography is an interesting course but its not too challenging. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_delusion Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 The first part - which is Population, Resource and Development, is interesting and not too difficult, most of them are common sense. Development is quite hard but in in overall, you will be fine! . and my teacher told me that we can use case studies of our own countries so it's even better . only the option part is horrible (mine is ecology, quite boring )...For reasons quite complicated and generally tangled, I am considering switching to geography!

Asheee Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 It's a fairly easy subject, depending on your options. However, 7s in the subject are quite rare! But possible! I loved Geography, I'd definitely recommend it! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindieeluieee Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Depends on what you are switching from...?But I loved geography in my first year. But once we started some of the options I wished I never took geo (and i even applied to study geography ) So, no. I personally wouldn't take it again, I'd rather do Economics, or a subject from group 7 or 3 if this is your second humanities... 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charizard Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks for all the advice! I was thinking of switching from Music to a double humanities combination. I don't think I'll end up switching anymore because it's too much hassle and Music is still a lot of fun. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
