A2 aqa geography june 2011 official thread

I'm struggling for things to talk about in modern technology for data collection and presentations.
Only thing I have is GIS... what else is there!!

I'm struggling for things to talk about in modern technology for data collection and presentations.
Only thing I have is GIS... what else is there!!

I was wondering the same thing as you, but having read the syllabus it says this:

ICT Skills
To include:
• use of remotely sensed data – photographs, digital images including those captured by satellite
• use of databases, eg census data, Environment Agency data; meteorological office data
• use of geographical information systems (GIS)
• presentation of text and graphical and cartographic images using ICT.



Sooo I guess just memorise those bullet points and apply them to your own fieldwork, and hopefully that will be enough! good luck

GEOG4A...Thought it was ok...12 marks just to comment in section B though? Usually AQA want to test evaluation, analyse and the like for 12 marks! There was a lot of info i suppose What presentation technique did people pick?

i wrote about CMDC...how many marks do you think i could feasibly get?!?

Geog3; Thought it went Ok

Did the Short questions on Tectonics and D/G, and then the essay on weather.

Tectonics questions were pretty easy, weather essay went good apart from that I couldn't remember much about wind/the venturi effect, and D/G questions went ok, although it felt as if I was almost saying the same things for each question.

Aiming for 80-90% on Tectonics, 70-80% on the essay, and 70-80% on D/G. So hopefully around 70/90, not entirely sure yet. Don't know what the grade boundaries are like; we've always done 80%=A, 70%=B etc at school, so hopefully an A/B

What I hated about the geography exam this summer was the lack of scape it gave you for depth. I mean I learnt some really intricate knowledge for the larger topic areas, such as the temperatures involved in the formation of hurricanes and such, but the questions did not lend themselves to detail. Does anyone else agree?
It was as if the questions that they were asking were all coming from the beginning of the units where you learn the foundations of the topic area. I am now concerned how the paper is going to affect the rest of my grade.

There's been war due to this paper. It asked 10 marks on something each textbook covered in 5 lines. l;
I was confident for all of my other Geog exams, but Geog 3 has definitely ruined it.

I know, I feel exactly the same :/. Here's hoping proportionately the UMS still puts us in an ok position, considering the fact everyone appears to have had the same problems.

Yeah. Although, I got worried at one point that the other modules could have been easier, so the UMS mark would be raised. S: Although reading these forums it seems that's not the case. Compare our paper to Jan 11 and AQA are actually being cruel. Jan 11 had an essay question asking for Plate tectonics theory and weather ones asking for climate change and city pollution. );
Wish I had the option to take the exam them.
