Then you didn't need to do one from 10-12. You only do 1 elective.

But always nice to know you still find me sexy, bbz!

I only wrote 2.5 pages aswell , it was kind of educated bluff. Id say Ill get about 50/80 Im sure they dont expect too high a standard considering how long the essay is

Hopefully My was just educated guess too xD Suppose even if I did know It id only have time for another page anyways..

In the mocks i accidentally Did a question from both the 1st and 2nd elective but didnt run out of time and came out with a C1 I dont know how I managed that but I barely even finished in time today just doing one elective today :pac:

My year is going ballistic saying it was so hard and they could barely answer any questions!
I honestly thought it was grand, the short questions were a bit tricky but other than that!
I did;
The first physical question about igneous rocks and river processes
Q5 in the regional
Q9 in the Human Elective and
Geoecology - biome question about human activities .. it was worded terribly but i wrote a very decent 3 1/2 page answer and had 10 minutes left at the end to read over everything!

Does anyone know how much marks would be lost of you wrote a page and a half about the formation of levees and waterfalls but drew no diagrams?

Guys, I did my LC last year. Got my only A1 in Geography. This is my post from this time last year.

Very disappointed with how I performed. Would be lucky to get a B, and I was aiming for an A.

So, if you under preformed, move on. I got on a lot better than I thought. They usually mark easy, because it's answered poorly.

I didn't think diagrams were necessary they just count as a srp so if you have 15 srps your grand

It didn't say that though. No diagrams necessary.

I did my geoecology question on the human activities affecting biomes, and discussed acid rain and deforestation, in total around 5 pages. Was this ok? Thank you

Acid rain? How did you link that with human?

did you link acid rain to humans? it was human activity and acid rain may be caused by humans but it's not a human activity!
Deforestation however is grand!

Industrial activity by humans causes acid rain , burning of fossil fuels etc...:/

I did that, made sure I kept repeating that the acid rain was caused by industrial activity and therefore human activity

yeah I learnt my essay from the book that has all the sample answers, it was '' human influence on biomes'' I think we are safe

Did you have to refer to more than one biome?

I didn't but most of my year did, I hope you could do both the question was phrased weird..

For the biome question, my headings were 1: how natives have been altered
2: how soils have been altered
3: how climate has been altered
4: how flora/ fauna has been altered
I linked human activities into each heading, but everyone else I've talked to seemed to have the actual activities as the headings...I suppose it's ambiguous enough, but also I only spoke about 1 biome. The geog teachers in my school were saying that it was so general, so I should be ok...any thoughts on this?

That's like exactly what i did, some of my headings were more human based but i talked about the same stuff and i only talked about one Biome also!
