Three units, all examined together in one paper. Paper 2 gives you unfamiliar resources and expects named, dated evidence back.
Assessment: Assessed at sessions 25–26 with a Paper 2 style data response and extended response, then a revision cycle.
Assessment: Started in sessions 31–38 and completed in the first five weeks of Semester 2, closing with a full Paper 2 assessment cycle.
Assessment: Six weeks, closing with a core synthesis task that requires nexus thinking rather than three separate answers.
Every core unit is practised the same way, so the paper never introduces a new kind of task.
A map, graph or diagram you have not seen. Describe the pattern first, then explain it, then complicate it with an exception.
Short responses want a place and a number with a date attached. “Many countries” earns nothing.
Climate and population are not separate topics in the paper. Practise linking them before the exam does it for you.
Extended responses need judgement: how significant, how effective, how limited, and what else might explain it.
