really expecting an A1 but got a b2. Lots of people in my class were disappointed by a similar margin. How did you guys get on?

My friend who studied really really hard and got a B1 in the mocks got a C1 so she is getting it re-checked as she thought she did well in it, she was shocked.

I usually got A's but thought it was very difficult on the day so i'm really happy with a B1. I know a few people who thought they were going to get a C/D and got a B so it works both ways.

The very same thing happened my brother. Got a a1 in almost every geography exam he ever took and arrived out with a b2 today. will be looking at the paper and appealing if the mark is close enough..

Didn't study for it, had a fairly bad project, and the only SRPs I had for the WHOLE exam, were for the Paris Basin.

But B2 at higher level

Eire-Dearg · 18-08-2010 5:05pm

Exact same, got a C1... was expecting at least a B1. Defo getting it rechecked.

DGRulz · 18-08-2010 5:16pm

Wanted an A expected a B3 got a C2. Unsure about getting a re-check

mars411 · 18-08-2010 5:18pm

Got a C1. Was happy enough seen as i didnt do the geocolgy or anything in that section.

A Changer · 18-08-2010 5:26pm

Didn't even get it finished, but managed a B3 for my troubles. Quite happy, considering I did that whole course in a year.

Grace16 · 18-08-2010 7:56pm

I usually got A's all during the 2 years but found some parts of the paper difficult so i got a B1 which i'm pretty happy with.

DavidKelly1 · 18-08-2010 8:14pm

I only heard one result in Geo. but they got an A2.

dambarude · 18-08-2010 9:23pm

The way your teacher goes about organising and compiling your field study has a big bearing on how many marks you will get in it. I did my LC two years ago, I got an A1, but when I viewed my scripts I noticed I had lost marks in places of the field study that I had not expected. Unfortunately it's not the 20% banker that some people expect. Those of you who are not happy, make sure that view your scripts, and count up every SRP to ensure it's added correctly. Follow the marking scheme that you'll be given while you're doing it. And well done

, Geography isn't as easy a subject as many people believe.

TrustedApple · 18-08-2010 9:27pm

ok i done the filed study in two hours after not going to class for about 6 weaks
done geocolgy in one hour in the morring before the test hated the subject you do notting in it and its gos on about crap the must time

Mithrid · 19-08-2010 12:10am

iwas exactly d same...got A1's since 5th yr and in mocks but got a B2 in the real LC...ah well evry exam u sit is different!

Lorrrrraine · 19-08-2010 6:06am

I walked out of the exam nearly in tears and legged it to the nearest alley to chain smoke, the paper went terribly for me.
Nearly died when I saw I'd gotten a C1

I'm going to find my teacher and buy her drinks for the rest of her life, she did a great job on our field study.
Congrats to everybody!

Got a B2 and was disappointed. I worked my ass off at Geography because I thought it was my best chance at an A1, which I was expecting. I got a B1 in mock for God's sake and we hadn't done loads of stuff at that stage!
