That was the most difficult paper
The only questions I knew fully were migration, high density urbanisation and karst regions/rocksand population
There was no coastal deposition/erosion, rivers, volcanoes, earthquakes, tourism
Nothing I studied for

I agree the coastal and glacial always come up but not this year, but I found the paper quite fair to be honest. I waffled through a lot of it though :P

I thought it was the easiest paper we sat so far to be honest... But I still waffled a bit in places

Short questions were the easiest I ever did.

Long questions though were quite tricky. I did Q2, 4 & 5.

Q1 was horrible. Only thing that came up as predicted by me on this is the Karst landscape.

Q2 was alright and I predicted B&C correctly. A was different though - it was a variation of the climatic factors that last came up in 2013 which I studied for this exam. Overall, I wasn't disappointed with this question.

Q3 was mostly awful. The only thing that came up here that I predicted was factors that influence the rate of population change. Individual migration? Like what? I never studied individual migration before, only organised migration.

Q4 was a mix. My only problem was the Urban Sprawl one. Everything else was fine.

Q5 was grand, it was as predicted by me.

Overall, not a bad paper.

I never expected Global Warming due to the fact that it came up last year but I was shocked that nothing came up on Coastal erosion or deposition.

The short questions were a breeze, the long questions not so much )':

Aswell as deposition and erosion, Climates dident come up either other than as a short question that any idiot could of guessed

It did kind of in the Ocean Currents tbh. Like one of the effects you could have mentioned it has on Ireland's climate is PREVAILING WINDS - which is one of the climatic factors.
