A* Tips: A-Level Environmental Science

📅 Monday 19th May 📅

Your AQA A-Level Environmental Science Paper 1 is Monday! Eeeeek!

We just wanted to check in for your final few nights of revision - this is your chance to get exam ready, but that doesn’t mean cramming. The questions are designed for you to apply what you know, not just list it so you should focus on strategy.

Three Final Tips to Boost Your Paper 1 Marks!

✅ 1. Apply, Don’t Just Recite
Examiners want to see that you understand how systems work together. That means:

• Using precise terminology (e.g. photodissociation, dynamic equilibrium)

• Linking case studies or real-world examples to questions - even short ones

• Making connections across topics like pollution, conservation, and resource management

📈 2. Practice Interpreting Data & Diagrams
You’ll see plenty of graphs, tables, and unfamiliar contexts. Don’t panic. Start by:

• Highlighting the units and variables

• Reading the question before analysing the graph

• Using terms like correlation, anomaly, pattern, cause/effect in your responses

✍️ 3. Plan Longer Answers with Bullet Points First
For 8 or 15 mark questions, do a quick brain dump:

• Outline 3-4 key ideas or case studies

• Link each to a point of evaluation or context

• Only then start writing your full response
