I just want to clarify, is it ok to write in bullet points for all sections of the paper?

Afaik everything but the option as there is coherence marks going for that

If a question states to explain formation of any landform in karst region, can I pick underground? Like a pillar? Or must it be surface, if it doesn't state?

If it doesn't state then you're free to do anything..:p

Good luck everyone.

We're nearly there...it will be over in a few hours...

And don't worry about it guys...the project + short questions = pass ... or near enough...
And if you quickly look over your Option for 80 marks and do an alright answer on it in the exam and do an OS sketchmap and bullsh*t the rest of it, you still have a chance for a good enough mark...

I you get 80/80 (short Qs) + 70/80 for Option + 90/100 for project + 90/240 out of the Core and Electives = 66%:D

Absolutely screwed for this exam
Barely know soils for geoecology, don't know the Biome
Haven't done the elective...
And only really know Paris for the regional
I got a B2 last time, but I totally put geography on the back burner this year thinking I'd remember it... I last did my leaving 3 years ago
WHAT WAS I THINKING?? There's no way I was going to just rememeber this
Ah sure...

Whatsernamex33

Only thing I don't really know is geoecology... I only learned 2 biomes, if plant and animal adaptions doesn't come up O:

Astrozombies

awkward monent when I learn 3 geo-ecology essays AND NONE UP UP UUUUUUUUGHHHHHH 80M what is life

and for deposition I wrote about meanders .... why why

Whatsernamex33

Failed. Or a bare pass..

The cúnts went out of there way to make the exam as awkward as possible

That wasnt to bad except they had to remove erosion from the river question god!! Regional was really nice this year

Lovely paper, but the timing DAMN THE TIMING. We have to write as much as English paper 2 so why do we get 30 mins less? It's literally impossible to give full answers for everything. I did brilliant on the physical environment and human environment, an AMAZING geocology answer but I was running out of time with the regional and had to rush my answers, got them done, but they're in no way full 30 marks. The timing pisses me off so much though.

Even Biology has more time, 3 hours, and it's less writing.

I think I may have misread a question. Bye bye A1

Question on technology was easy! I haven't studied it (I didnt even know it was on syllabus.. :P) and it went pretty well I think regional was easy and the question about biome,.. Love it!:)

I'm not sure how it went but it definitely went better than last year.
Where I couldn't answer most I just tried writing anything. I wasn't suprised when I got a D3. This time I could answer most. My physical and regional section were my best I think. The human I'm not sure I answered the 12 c part right I did and spoke about the linear, dispersed and clustered patterns.

The C) part for the land use., my mind wend blank I started speaking about the docklands and got a small paragraph and couldn't think of anything else . Then I started bringing up the road development and the port tunnel. I'm not sure if thats what I was supposed to be mentioning :S.
The option I did human impact and spoke about the acid rain I got two pages usually I'd get more. I messed up the titles .

I blazed through the short answers and still had to rush a C part of a question, ended up getting it finished but it wasn't fully answered as much as I would have liked it to been. Quickly drew diagrams in the hope I might make up a few SRPs.

I was dreading that paper going into it as it seemed I hadn't covered enough, but I came out of it incredibly happy. The two questions I needed to avoid came up together on the same section which I was delighted about I think I answered most things well enough.

It was a pretty awkward paper I was hoping for a high B but I doubt I'll even get a C1, and they siad repeating is easier.

I think I'm in the same boat as you!
I was hoping for soil composition and characteristics!

fizzyorange

Didn't think that went bad at all. physical was by far my worst q, but it just got better from there on in. Found the short qs kinda tough and was writing until the last minute (had to rush my conflict q) but otherwise I am quite happy with that.

Sunny!!

shorts as per usual

physical very sneaky

regional excellent

human excellent

biome - happy enough but was not expecting that q!

very happy

Which question?

irish_man

What was the biome question guys? Oh and did characteristics of a soil type come up?

Beware

Not a bad paper at all. The essay (in our school we do sustainable management of global resources) was absolutely beautiful. In short, it was the sort of essay question you can only dream of.

I thought the Physical geography questions were a bit sneaky, but luckily I managed to miss the bullet. Rest of paper was good, though I did think it was a little bit harder (essay aside) than other years.

Schonie

Thought it was okay...not an A but maybe a C1 or a B...I was on my regional question, part C but realized I won't have time to finish another C that I was hoping to do after I was done with that one...so I went to the other one and got only half done on that too...so I had two unfinished Cs but otherwise it was okay, considering I only revised some stuff last night...

I got my short Qs done (which I thought were kinda hard...anyone else?) and then did my biome question - 3pgs...maybe that's why I didn't get time to finish my Qs:D

Vetton

Didn't get mine finished, but happy enough. Wanted to get up and dance when I got my biome question.
