It's a lot of effort, actually, and when you consider how the UMS system works and the fact that there's only a few people sitting this paper, he could really be shooting himself in the foot by helping you. Naturally, if he helps you + your classmates out and you get higher marks because of it, the grade boundaries will go up and he'll get less marks than he would have without helping you. So actually, it's quite cheeky.

If it's a lot of effort for him, then I completely understand him not uploading it. But if it's because he's worried that giving people a little bit of help by providing them with material from the board might, just potentially, knock off a UMS mark or something...

Maybe it'd be foolish of me to do so, but I know that I'd help someone if I could - its the fair thing to do. If I didn't get the grade I needed, it'd be because I didn't do well enough on the test.

It's alright, I'll keep searching for it and hopefully I can find it somewhere If I do, I'll let people know, and provide them the link. Because I'm nice/evil like that. Mwah.

That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. It has nothing to do with you and anyone can easily ask their teacher. It would have been a bit easier if the lad posted it but its no problem if he doesnt as its up to him. So actually, its quite cheeky of you.

There are two examiners marking this paper... there really aren't many people taking this test so, actually, giving it to an entire class full of people could make a difference. That's not the point though, the point was that you were asking him to go out of his way to potentially give himself less marks when he could be spending that time revising. If this is the most stupid thing you've ever heard, you've not been on TSR long enough. Sorry for having a different opinion to you, I must be a real idiot.

I'm not saying your wrong or anything, and I'm not trying to create an argument here, but it just seems a pretty selfish way of looking at things. If he's worried about the amount of time or effort it would take (which frankly, to type out a few sentences doesn't seem THAT much) whatever, that's absolutely fine and I completely understand, but if its just so we don't do as well... I don't want to judge anyone, but I wouldn't act like that.

I wouldn't have asked if I thought it was going to be such a big deal :\

(And on a completely different point, there are only two examiners marking this paper? Are you sure? My teacher said she was marking this exam :s )

Doubt it, unless she's one of two. And I'm quite sure one of them is the head examiner. :P

Well, this is what my teacher said anyway...

Any body doing tectonics, ecosystems and conflict?

Yehim doing the tectonic questions
do you think either tsunamies or earthquake will come up and do you know if there will always be a hazard question for example a case study on one and its effects?

Theres just so much to learn how does evryone remember it all?

hi guys sorry im new to this and didnt realise that there was a second page

sorry i have had time to upload the paper and don't have easy access to a scanner my pc

im doing ecosystems, world cities and tectonics, i hope the essays are nice too!! i'm scared! any last min good revision tips?

Bit obvious but choose the essay question you find easiest first over the structured questions. Also for me as im desperate for revision time for the world city case studies just talk about your home area or a place nearby, also make things up as the likely hood of the examiner knowing your area is low and unlucky if he is from the same area

Very true, i like that about your own area. are you guys doing essays first or small questions?? i might do essay first this time a i ****ed the essay up last time and i did it second then
