Primary is collected first-hand in the field; secondary comes from existing sources

Primary always comes from books and websites; secondary is the data you collect yourself

They are exactly the same thing and the two words mean nothing different at all

Primary data is only ever qualitative, while secondary data is only ever quantitative

Choosing points with an equal chance for each

Taking readings at regular intervals

Choosing only the easiest points to reach

Sampling in proportion to subgroups

One single enquiry, which can be either physical or human

Three separate enquiries, all of them on human geography topics

Two, one physical and one human, in contrasting environments

None at all, because the whole course is entirely classroom-based

It tests only memorised case studies that you happened to learn earlier in the course

It contains no geographical skills questions of any kind whatsoever

It is marked entirely by multiple-choice questions with no written answers

It uses a resource booklet and a decision-making exercise on an unfamiliar place

Reaching a clear, justified decision using evidence from the resources

Saying that all of the available options are exactly equally good as each other

Ignoring the resource booklet and writing only from your own memory

Writing only about a single disadvantage of one of the options
