It's today guys!!
Remember don't panic, you can do this!
Aim to spend 30 minutes on each section and read the question carefully
Include as much PSD and KGV as you can in the case studies and don't neglect spag.
You'll all do amazing and if all fails you've got the sdme and coursework to bump up your grade.
Good luck!

Overall i thought it went well apart from the odd strange question, but its out of 99 marks so you're allowed to loose some marks.
Im not completely sure whether ive done enough for an A* though could go either way.

Just checked the usual grade boundaries and its usually around 80 marks for an A* which makes me feel more confident
me too! i did poland to uk , China's Pearl River Delta, Nevado del ruiz. The wording for the last case study was so difficult i nearly put an urban change 🙏🏽☺️ there were a few weirdly worded questions i agree, especially some of the drought questions. The other two sections were nice i guess 😄 Overall i think i could lose up to 8 marks but only results day can tell!

Palm oil Indonesia/borneo

For some reason I put 'oil palm' instead of palm oil because that's what was written on a sheet we got given in class. Will I get marked down??;

Haha yeah a lot of my friends ended up nearly writing a case study for urban land use and how it affects the environment for the last question. In fact some of my friends wrote about Greenwich meridian Village. Not sure if thats right.
