Grade boundaries will be pretty high i am guessing as it was an okay-ish paper? 80% for an A? What do they base them on? How people done, or the actual questions?


:eek: No way! I've never heard of Geography grade boundaries exceeding 60% for an A. They're usually about 55% for an A. And I've thought some of the past papers have been really easy. Should've realised that if I found the past papers easy obviously the topics that would come up on this one would be the ones that I find hard. Gahh!!

Everyone seems to be doing different topics to me o.o Noone else do Coasts and Food Supply? :biggrin:


I did Coasts :smile: What did you put for mass movement processes on Mappleton? Apart from rotational slump I didn't think any of the others that I'd learnt seemed to apply to it :/

I thought the paper was okayish apart from yes the last energy 15 marker! And the glacial moraine stuff... but i really ran out of time, couldn't go into enough detail in anything.

You are kidding? An A is always around 50%.

I thought the paper was average, it could have gone much worse but I think I've made some silly mistakes. Coming on here has kind of made me feel better about the whole thing though :biggrin: Hahaha.
Had no idea about the glacial moraine question though, I think I put something about medial and lateral :s
Struggled with the question about sustainable transport too :/ That was a horrible question! I wrote about integrated transport in Eco Towns and about solar cars hahaha.
Hoping the boundaries are low :tongue:

I don't know the difference between Urban and Rural.. ones got shopping malls, the other doesn't?! O.o
Time wasn't a issue though but i did feel like i was rambling a hell of allot :/
Im praying for the grade boundaries to be low.. REAL low..

I just did the River Quaggy and Three Gorges comparing them together. I mentioned the costs, displacement, environmental impact and benefits amongst a few other points. Is that similar to what you did?

(I sort of quadrupled the cost of the Three Gorges dam - I hope they don't penalise me)


I put about the Three Gorges dam too! :biggrin: I wasn't sure how much it costed though so I just put millions :s-smilie: hahaha. Put about similar things though :smile:

Woo, someone else did the same thing - strength in numbers :smile:

I put that it cost £100 billion (I'm sure you can divide it by 4 and get the true answer)

I had no idea at all to say what the evidence was of slumping, but for the definition i put that Mass Movement is the movement of material due to gravity e.g. Slumping. D:

Parks? Primary schools? Powerleague? and very little open space; then pubs, social clubs and forests for rural. That was the sort of question that you could make the answer up to.

Pissed off I missed the very first question about labeling the picture >:frown:
Apart from that the paper went okay although the 15 marker for the food supply was a bit ambiguous ( I wrote about organic and locally produced food)
