So an SRP is...

a significant relevant point.

And a significant relevant point is a definition, a fact or statistic, or it might be a few lines of relevant information, which is very relevant to the question that's being asked.

So two marks for each of those.

So for example, in your essays, if it's 30 mark essay, you're trying to get 15 SRPs into that essay to get full marks there.

So the exam then, yeah.

Section one, yes.

Section one is your short questions.

So there's 12 short questions available and there's 80 marks going in this section.

Each question is worth eight marks and you'll be marked on your best 10 there.

I would advise you to attempt all of them.

Your best 10 will be chosen anyway.

So answer the ones that you feel more confident in first and then come back for those that you might be unsure about.

Give them all a go.

The knowledge that you have in geography will allow you or should allow you to make an educated guess on any that you're kind of unsure about.

Don't leave any blanks.

I would give that maximum there 25 minutes.

Well, in the short questions, then it's just going to be things like, you know, reading information, graphs, analysing data, answering questions based on small pieces of information.

they're just marked there as short questions.

So you're getting, it's kind of varied in terms of, but it's eight marks per question in total.
