You are given the highest mark for your top three questions (as long as you've got one from section a and one from b)

I did the Restless Earth, Water on the Land & the Coastal Zone and found all of the questions extremely easy and a lot easier than any past papers we have looked at

The grade boundaries never change more than one or two marks so probs about 49/50 for an A*

Anyone who does living world can you help me. The case study where you had to compare to deserts I put the facts of each one for the other one. I did the economic opportunities of the poor desert for the rich desert and the same for the rich I did for the poor. What is the highest marks out of 8 do you think I can get. Also the water on the land case study I did loads of effects for Carlisle (rich) and a few for Bangladesh (but most where made up) and only said the effects where less in the rich flooding due to them being able to access aid by helicopters. How many marks could that be ??

For anyone who did higher Water on the Land what did you guys do for the meanders question where you had to re draw it i failed that so bad. I thought that question was so pointless…. :frown:

I drew a cross section one and labelled it, then drew a birds eye view one and labelled that

Does anybody know how they work out the coursework and the human and physical papers marks? So if you got an A in your coursework what would you be looking to get in the two papers to get an A?

it was not asking for effects it was asking for reasons why the effects was different for example medc has more money and better health care and ledc have bad house structures

It's OK! And, If you want, I can send you some of my Human GEO notes e.g. Population Change, Development Gap if you want me to, to help you out, with the A*.
