DD is doing IGCSE geography. Have registered as private candidate with a college but they have stated they only host the exams and can't help with anything else.
The specification talks about a geographical enquiry section which involves fieldwork activities. Apparently these build skills such as map reading, handling equipment, taking recordings, interpreting graphs etc and there will be questions relating to this fieldwork in the exam.
It does say that in exceptional circumstances a student can use someone else's data and research but this needs to be agreed between the school and the exam board. I have tried ringing the exam board but only ever get recorded messages and can't get through to an actual person! The school as mentioned are completely unhelpful and simply refer me back to the exam board.
I know that home educated students do IGCSE Geography as I have seen it mentioned on threads but I have no idea how you are supposed to do the fieldwork or find the relevant data to use.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
