13. Exam tip
Mitigate is another word for ‘reducing the impacts’.
Using it in an exam is quicker!
The decision to mitigate against a hazard will be based on an analysis of the
risks, the costs, and the benefits.

18. Positive– Write down areas of the lesson you have been successful in,
name the key terms or named examples you are now confident in using. What
areas have you worked hard on improving? Named examples, geographical
terms, facts, statistics, explanations, comparison?
Error – Write down areas you are less confident with, certain case studies
or examples you may need to go over again to fully understand. Do you use
enough explanation using named examples and facts in all your answers? Do
you push yourself or are you reliant on the teacher for guidance or pressure
to progress?
Next – Where can you move yourself forward over the next lesson, week or
month. What are you going to start including which will improve your detail
and work?
