And for our Geog peeps

For Human Interference with the marine processes I said coastal management and gave Ireland as the example, is this too vague/ is it allowed?
Also I hadn't prepared UNDERGROUND karst landforms, I said Cavern and described stalactites and stalagmites, in my book these are in different sections, is this okay?

Wolfe Tone

The stuff about the cave and stalactites is grand, dont know about the other thing as I never studied that.

Ye know Human Elective? I did I think it was the 1st question with Migration and Historic Settlement, but in the migration I basically wrote the essay I had learned of the impacts of the EU on Ireland's economy and culture. It seemed to work at the time I just didn't include 'EU' as much as the question was not specifically asking about that. Does anyone remember the question i'm talking about. Do ye think it works?

"Examine two major changes in the patterns of Irish migration within the last one hundred years"? If you talked about a cultural effect of the EU, you surely then talked about migration and the Schengen Agreement and all that? That would be fine then. You'd probably just be repeating yourself on the economic front.

You should be grand there as long as ya had the answer split up in two distinct parts.

Haha thanks, am nope don't know what that schergen is, but I might have mentioned the Maastricht treaty? It would have been full marks if the question was about the impact of EU expansion, but it wasn't. :pac::pac: Yeah I split it up, the cultural was more about the composition of the population and the economic was about migrants contributing to our economy, 450,000 employees were needed in Ireland in 2007 etc, and how this has changed. Hopefully I got at least 20/30 anyway.

Short Questions: Quite straight-forward, a bit longer than previous years but no more challenging.

Physical: The question groupings made it complex to find a very suitable question, but I answered the one about Folding, and Interaction with the Rock Cycle. Rock Cycle was fine, but I felt it's hard to get a substantial amount out of folding - I think they should have asked folding and faulting.

Regional: Usually my worst part of the paper, but it wasn't actually bad this year. I answer tertiary economic in Paris. It was unusual that it said only one, but I talked about tourism and brought transport into it by saying it was 'accessible' - I hope I still get marks for it! Culture in Belgium was fine.

Human Elective: This was my least-revised for section but I can't complain. Traffic Congestion was a fairly common sense question. I just said Traffic Congestion is reduced by 1. Building of Public Transport and 2. Upgrading of Roads. Then there was a question on problems of Urban Growth in a developing world region. I talked a bit about why Sao Paulo grows before I got to the problems, just so I wouldn't dry up before 15 SRPs. I wonder will they just start marking when they get to the problems?

Geoecology: I answered how climate influences the characteristics of the desert biome. It was pretty much the exact same answer as characteristics. I'm very thankful I switched to the desert biome (my class does Tropical Rainforest) as nearly everything in the desert (plant, soil and animals) adapt to the climate, so minimal changing was needed. My friends that answered the Tropical Rainforest said they found it awkward fitting everything into climate, as a lot of plants interact with the trees, rather than the climate, but they changed it around to say that animals interact indirectly with the climate as the trees grow as a result of the climate.

Overall I was quite happy. One thing I noticed though was that there was usually only one question in each section that I was happy with, so I got lucky in terms of choosing. Some questions just instantly put me off - e.g. historic settlement, underground landform formation, characteristics of a soil type etc.

They usually do that to compare size, and/or colour. It had no relevance to the exam, but samples of stones are often pictured like that. It's probably to show people that it isn't a huge boulder dragged by a glacier down a mountain
