Exam was pro! What essays did you guys do?

Urban process? what one was that again? hehe

[xDanny 117]

Great exam!

Urban process I put down was Urbanisation but then I basically described counter urbanisation for my impact on the Rural Urban Fringe :L

Skills was a dream! What's the deal with asking two scatter graphs in one year, though?!

My essays were Dependency Ratios and the National Park Essay. I didn't want to to dependency ratios but I wasn't going near development!

I did Dependency rations too! Did you just write about MEDC's (OAPs) and LEDCs (under 15 years?)
My other essay on Globalisation and Trade, it was okay... I couldn't remember much about the others because I only revised them this morning

What figure did you get for nearest neighbour btw? Roughly

Also does anyone know why sodding RIVERS were on it?! I was like "come on, I haven't done this in over a year -.-" tehe

Yeah I basically said that for the ratios!

My nearest neighbour value was 0.87 i think (significantly random)

I was surprised to see Rivers, too! Meanders! I was like "what?" but I did AS1 last week and still knew meanders off by heart so it wasn't that bad :P

YES! I did it right for once! So happy
And I just said like stronger force of water, more erosion on that side as the water doesn't need to slow down as much to turn... no technical terms but should get a mark

Yeah you sort of have the right idea.
More erosion on the outside through hydraulic action and corrasion. More deposition on the inside due to friction slowing the river down.
You'll definitely get [1]/[3], maybe even two if the mark scheme allows it!

Finally on summer holidays now. Time to sit back, relax and anticipate August 16th. Good luck to you all ! I'll bump this thread closer to the exam to see how you got on

Good luck for your exam! I'm sure it'll be fine
I wasn't too pushed but I only wrote 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 pages for the essays, I felt the paper was a lot shorter than the one I did before Then also the choice of 4 essays rather than 3 when I did it, was a bit different for me!

[JustDisturbia]

[xDanny 117]

So... 2 days... grade boundaries tomorrow! How's the nerves guys? I'm pretty nervous tbh. Hope all your summers were good!

Do CCEA release grade boundaries a day early?

They did last year for GCSE IIRC. I'm just assuming they'll release them like OCR already have and AQA are doing tomorrow at 8am

I can't find any boundaries from previous years online so I assumed they didn't!

[snailsareslimy]

Do CCEA actually release grade boundaries at all? I've never seen them once a day before results (and all my GCSE's and AS's were CCEA)

[JustDisturbia]

Yay! I knew you could do it! I got a B overall in Geog too (so glad to get rid of the stupid C although annoyingly I was 3UMS off an A -.-)
Got into Queens for English so I'm super pleased
