Our teacher gave us loads of case studies to remember - how can I remember all of them?

What I think is really important with geography is the fact that all the theory we learn is really relevant to what is going on in the world! Although the bank of case studies may seem really fact-based, it will really help if you can think of them not as a separate area of study but as integrated parts of the syllabus. When you are doing your revision notes make sure you link them in - mind maps were a really useful technique for me and might be helpful for you too. An example of linking theory and case study is demographics and the One Child Policy in China. Firstly, break this lump of information down into the relevant areas of the topic so it is easy to use. An example of a response to a youthful population would be that the Government put measures in place - in the case of the Chinese Government, they could see that there was a boom in births and felt like they did not have the infrastructure in place to manage this boom so implemented this policy. By breaking the case study down in to sections it is possible to see much clearer where and how it is relevant to help you in your exam. And don't forget - what your teacher gave you isn't an exhaustive list... you are able to use your own examples. Maybe a new sea defence has been build in your seaside town, or you read an interesting economic article in the newspaper.
