every 80 marks = 16%

For this question:
C. Developing World Cities
‘Problems can develop as urban centres expand and grow.’
Discuss this statement with reference to one developing world city that you have studied.

Could I have written about Rio de Janeiro and the favella problem??
Or was that wrong?

Paper was okay ish. There was only one question on each section that I was fully happy doing though.

Did anyone else think it was weird Haiti was on a part A when these papers are meant to be set in October?!

And did anyone notice the complete lack of plate tectonics in the 30 mark questions?

Thought the paper was weird over all...! But think I did ok, happy with it. Hopefully an A or high B.

Sooo happy.Everything I had covered in the last day came up.Option question on global warming was beautiful too.It was as if I had my notes right in front of me I could remember so much.B1 is definatly on the table if not A2....A1 would be a bit much haha:P

No but at least an attempt for 40/80 would have been good.

I only wrote under two aspects..... will that be marked under the marking scheme for 3 aspects or will the marks be between the two? Im pretty sure I wrote enough to get 80% or over on the biome if they mark between the two.

Nope that's right well at least I hope so anyways

For the Biome Q I described the climate of the Hot Desert. And then went on to speak about the characteristics of soil, vegetation and animal life.

Not quite sure tbh. 3x8 SRPs or 4x6 SRPs are requires. I did 4 x 7.

Oh thank god for that! haha.
You know what it's like when you can't think of the simplest things in the middle of the exam..
I was sat there thinking... "Is Brazil classed as developing.... is Rio de Janeiro a developing city....."

haha!

I thought that the regional section was soo hard! I did the agriculture in sub continental region and the development as dublin as an urban area.! Total fail...the rest wasn't too bad. Did anyone got two answers to the 20m part A in q.10 in the elective?? There was like the same unemployment rate for 2 months???

I thought short questions were preety tricky actaully! Anyone else agree?

My main worry is in regional section.. i did Q4 which had some culture question in it.. it was something like examine the importance of culture in any region outside ireland.. i did the Hispanics, Asians, African americans, Anglo-saxons and Native Americans.. My teacher said he originally thoughtr they were looking for you to do Belgium but i hope i dont get zero for that like.. Would be looking at an A1 if I gegt marked on that cause i had nearly 20 SRP's..

i did the gaeltacht in ireland.....em...does that qualify for that question?:pac:

Well I assumed seen as there was nothing on the paper saying you needed to do x amount of aspects that if you did 2 or 5 the marks will be divided by that number.... I hope!

Compton

I did culture in India for that Q.

pfannkuchen

Couldn't be happier with how it went - Global Interdependence Qs were really good and surprisingly, I found it really hard to choose an Economic Q because they were all so nice

Im sure it does! Well at least it recommends you do .

Says it would be "better" Judging from that language it aint a necessity to get full marks, as it didnt say such.... hopefully!

Compton

I hope for your case it's no a necessity! I doubt it is tbh. You NEED 24 SRPS for full marks though

I have at least twelve under the two headings I did.

Ah the joy's to have Geography done and dusted!
Biome was a bit weirdly asked, but I just merged my characteristics and plant and animal adapadation to make a new answer. hopefully it'll be ok.
Regional was lovely and despite my horrific drawing of Ireland I say I got full marks there. I made up a q on migration...

Hopefully I'll get a b1 or a.

Your little smiley guy means you're joking right?

Compton

Yes. It was pretty much the characteristics of a biome. But relating how climate effects it. Eg, the desert toad breeds only during rain.

Haha, I drew Ireland as well. But I noticed in the short questions that there were four little pictures of Ireland in one of them - it was to do with defining regions - had to match the right picture of Ireland to Urban, Cultural, Administrative and Socio-Economic (or was it regional it said?)

Anyways.... was quite handy to be able to copy it straight down from that! :rolleyes:

Compton

Theres always a map of Ireland on the key of the ordnance survey map.

Got up at 5 this mornin to study as i couldnt do it last night! Was so tired after English.

But anyway literally read the entire Key Skills revision book and id say i got an A! Delighted! Short Q's were, in my opinion, a farce! Far too easy, thought i was doin pass for a minute lol
