    Didn't get the settlements one either :confused: Never heard of either (due to not listening in class probably) so just kind of made up some stuff. What were the climates? Think I said Polar (lol), Tropical and Desert (lol again).

    Oh yeah actually, two of them seemed to be linear so I just called one of them dispersed :rolleyes:
    I said the first one was tundra or boreal so even if one of them is right the other answer will cancel it out, said the one in Africa was hot desert because, y'know, Africa's hot and then I said the one on the equator was equatorial. Oh dear...

    Geography was pretty easy but I really should have done the Mixed geography question instead of the ones with irrigation :confused: I thought i'd have to do all 4 of the mixed geog questions not 3 :( bugger. Twas a grand test all together I'm hoping for an A.

    Did all of ye do a project during the year or was that optional?

    I got 5.9 i think. It said the length from a railway station to where it leaves the map, NOT the full length.

    Eugh I found out just after leaving I did it wrong, measured from the station to the top of the map rather then back. SO annoyed!

    Quick question about geog!

    With the population pyramid contrast it said refer to the pyramid so if ya just say a has a narrow base and b has a wide base.then a has a wide peak and b has a narrow peak! Is that acceptable?

    im pretty sure you had to say why
    eg, the narrow base for pyramid A would be because of a high infant mortality rate, caused by poor medical services...thats around what i said

    Well I said a wide base indicates a high birth rate and that a wide peak indicates that alot of people live to an old age

    From what I could make out it was saying how 'unusual' ginger hair was and it was nothing to be ashamed of. I thought the picture of prince harry was a nice touch

    i got 84 in maths in my mocks
    to say im gaggin for an A is an understatement, so i reaaaly have to try and study it this weekend
    best advice for paper 2 is ...
    1. Learn your rules, e.g opposite sides in parallelogram are equal
    2. Learn theorems ..im predicting diagonal of a parallelogram and equilateral
    3. Practice constructions, will most likely be circumcircle!!
    any other advice?
