Indeed, Geography at A Levels is arguably the most content heavy subject, and those contemplating to offer BCMG, you are the brave at heart. Stress level can be particularly high as exams approach. Remember the piles of notes I mentioned in the previous paragraph? Just imagine yourself attempting to memorise the formation of cumulonimbus clouds while desperately internalizing case studies on pro-natalist policies in France! Now, think about how you are going to finish three DRQs (Data Response Questions), two short essays (though they are not very short) as well as two long essays within a meagre of three hours during exams. Geography is certainly not for the faint-hearted out there.

While Geography in SH may be a demanding subject, it is possible to do well in it, as long as one puts effort into consolidating the given material, writing essays and practising DRQs. However, I would caution against taking Geography (or any other subject) simply because one is likely to do well for it. Do remember that Geography is a rather content-heavy subject and interest sometimes plays a crucial role in keeping one motivated to go through all the notes and readings!
In the A levels, students have to power through 2 3-hour papers, including 6 essays and 4 Data Response Questions (DRQs). However, Year 5 students get a discount: the Y5 Promo consists of 1 essay question each for Theme 1 and Theme 2, as well as a DRQ.
David W. Harvey FBA (born 31 October 1935) is a British-born Marxist economic geographer, podcaster and Distinguished Professor of anthropology and geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), though he often claims to prefer the term Marxian. He received his PhD in geography from the University of Cambridge in 1961. Harvey has authored many books and essays that have been prominent in the development of modern geography as a discipline. He is a proponent of the idea of the right to the city.
By the mid-1960s, Harvey followed trends in the social sciences to employ quantitative methods, contributing to spatial science and positivist theory. Roots of this work were visible while he was at Cambridge: the Department of Geography also housed Richard Chorley, and Peter Haggett. His Explanation in Geography (1969) was a landmark text in the methodology and philosophy of geography, applying principles drawn from the philosophy of science in general to the field of geographical knowledge. But after its publication Harvey moved on again, to become concerned with issues of social injustice and the nature of the capitalist system itself. He has never returned to embrace the arguments made in Explanation, but still he conforms to the critique of absolute space and exceptionalism in geography of the regional-historical tradition that he saw as an outcome of Kantian synthetic a priori knowledge.[citation needed]
Moving from Bristol University to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in the US, he positioned himself centrally in the newly emerging field of radical and Marxist geography. Injustice, racism, and exploitation were visible in Baltimore, and activism around these issues was tangible in early 1970s East Coast, perhaps more so than in Britain. The journal Antipode was formed at Clark University; Harvey was one of the first contributors. The Boston Association of American Geographers meetings in 1971 were a landmark, with Harvey and others disrupting the traditional approach of their peers.[6] In 1972, in a famous essay on ghetto formation, he argued for the creation of "revolutionary theory", theory "validated through revolutionary practice".[7]
One of the most important subfields impacted by the rise of Marxist geography was in urban geography. Harvey established himself as the leader of this subfield with the publication of Social Justice and the City (1973). Harvey argued in this book that geography could not remain 'objective' in the face of urban poverty and associated ills.[8] It makes a significant contribution to Marxist theory by arguing that capitalism annihilates space to ensure its own reproduction.
Critical response to Harvey's work has been sustained. In the early years, there was competition between Harvey and proponents of quantitative and non-politicized geography, notably Brian Berry. A recent critical appraisal (Castree & Gregory, 2006) explores some critiques of Harvey in detail.
David Harvey is widely recognized as a foundational scholar in urban geography.[17] Harvey's books have been widely translated. He holds honorary doctorates from Roskilde (Denmark), Buenos Aires (Argentina), the Faculty of Social Sciences at Uppsala University[18] (Sweden), Ohio State University (USA), Lund University (Sweden), the University of the Republic[19] (Uruguay) and the University of Kent (UK). Among other awards he has received the Anders Retzius Gold Medal of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, the Patron's Medal of the Royal Geographical Society and the Vautrin Lud International Prize in Geography (France). He was made a fellow of the British Academy in 1998, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007. He is a member of the Interim Committee for the emerging International Organization for a Participatory Society.[20]
