AQA Geography Skills Unit 2 paper 25th may 2010

Does anyone know what the first section of questions will be on? I heard it will be population as it's been rivers for the past few years. What will the questions be like? I'm really confused about this paper :frown:

Can anyone who's done it before/is re-sitting let me know what the paper is like?

Rivers was the past two years, it's highly likely it'll be population unless they trick us all.

I am really hoping it's rivers though x_x

They made us take this exam in January and our whole class got Es and Us, don't know how they expected us to do well when we need all 4 topics AND skills :|

Yeah, thats what I thought. I dont think it'd be rivers, but maybe they just want us to think that and ARE gonna trick us!

I actually want it to be population, rivers looks pretty difficult, plus it'd be like a whole paper on rivers! and thats just not nice.. at all.

Its normally rivers in summer and population in jan, however, i did the jan sitting and it was rivers, so you have more chance of population coming up.

Should be a nice paper for you too, because the jan one got loads of complaints for having 'content' questions rather than skills questions...we had to draw a meander?

The meander drawing was easy! :p:

I hope it is a little easier than Unit 1, could really do with a break in Geog :frown:

I absolutely hate Population, I would have loved for both papers to be entirely rivers if it were possible! :p:

Well I cant afford to be happy with a B since universities are getting even more strict with requirements and especially for eu-students that are not british its kind of hard to get accepted to good universities. And damn, tomorrow I have a clash with Geography and Classical Civilisation... I just hope that It will be an easy topic.......
Is there any way to attach the paper here ?

Oh and Good luck to everyone :smile:

As the exam is in the afternoon, i guess i have the whole morning to revise, and as i have geography first period, my teacher can tell me what will be in the paper tomorrow, I just hope its something easy and nothing like the hard questions in the P & H Geography paper. Yes, best of luck to anyone whos taking this paper tomorrow afternoon, you're (we're) going to need it!

Well it's not about luck really, it's about your knowledge of the subject itself and the fieldwork that you have carried out - if any.
