What part i or ii

Found it pretty tough...took me full time to do everything. Q1 part B was horrible and Q2 A was singled to a cold climate which theyve never done

Q4

Ha, I thought the exact same

Msrebeckyxo

Ah that was a granddd paper

Liordi

I did Q1, 3 and 4.
Was pretty pleased with the paper.

smiles_1998

Nice paper- quite different to previous years and some of the short questions were quite unusual too! Overall though it was grand.
I did questions 3,4 and 5.

By the way was the aerial photo oblique or vertical?

yaEHya

I said vertical I could be wrong though.

Yay! I had no clue what they were on about so I just guessed oblique! :P

Q4

My teacher had given us a case study herself on Fracking so I wrote about fire coming out of water taps!:D
I was prepared for that climate question and basalt didnt go too badly either:) Very very lucky with that paper, however l
most of my classmates disagreed with me:0

I'd say so, I said demographic transition graph

Manutd_4life

Best paper so far. AMAZING

Since november we've been doing exam papers so it took our whole class completely off-guard. SO different to others years and some tricky tails on the end of questions I hadn't seen before. So angry with myself because I only studied exam papers.

Liordi

Gonna see how much marks I got in short questions when the paper is published on.
Know for a fact I got the very first question wrong, though

What was different?

Chloee98

I had never seen anything on 'denudation' come up before

Correct me if I'm wrong but..cattle silage and wheat?

I was a bit confused at first with this one as i assumed cattle was an input. Then I noticed it specifically said 'calves' which is an output (i think). I got those other answers aswell.

Could slurry not be considered an output? It was making silage not just silage so sounded like a process, but could of been a tillage farm!

Fwiz

Okay, I'm completely and utterly shocked. Was it just me who found Geography to be a ridiculously easy exam? I mean, one of the questions was "What is this picture about?" and underneath the question there was a picture of a polar bear and a penguin on an ice berg with 4 answers beneath, one being 'Global warming'. I was actually laughing to myself during the exam.

laurap123

found it pretty easy! I did Q1,Q4,Q5. Question 4 was class knew my cirque and location of industry off by heart so was delighted that came up. Some of the short questions were kinda tough though!

Liordi

Did anyone else not do question 5?

JWM12

The short q's were more difficult than usual but my god the long questions were simple. oh dear goodness they were simple.

Ya I didn't I ran out of paper and couldn't be bothered to ask for more.

Liordi wrote: »

My teacher has been telling us since forever to do that question (ordnance survery) but I think the theory is easier so I did Q1,Q2 and Q4 as they required least effort

What. I got question 3 a done very badly. Most of 4 done except a bit of D and half of question 5 done

I managed to get every question done with a few minutes spare to sort out my pages. Loved Q5, was an absolute beauty. Doing the sketch of the ordnance survey using a 1:50 scale is an easy 10 marker

Well four was the geomix so you only actually have to do 3 parts of it.

I said gravity but I sorta guessed that one.. I kinda thought they are both correct but it depends on what they mark it as I guess

spurious

It's gravity.

Emmie123

I'm going to be so disappointed if I don't get an A on this paper. It was ridiculously easy!

Then I should have gotten all the short questions right I think c:
