AS AQA Geography Unit 1 and 2 May 2012

Hey! I'm also doing rivers, population and health. Population is a good topic the only thing that I dislike is the inner city areas etc. They aren't always that generous with the marking. It depends on the difficulty level of the paper and how well people across the country do as a whole. For example if a large amount of people who are predicted an A get around 75/120 they will place the boundary there and so on and so forth.
Oh and river rejuvenation is actually simpler than you think. It's simply defined as "an increase in the energy of a river caused by either a fall in its base level or an uplift of the land". This just means that basically the river wants to produce a perfect concave shape and in order to complete this cuts down into the ground so it can produce the curve shape. However, when sea levels drop or land rises the river either has to cut down deeper to achieve the curve or to stop cutting down. Rejuvenation cannot be fully produced by a river due to the constant changing of the land and sea levels. You also need to know some information about the formation of knick points (mini waterfalls), waterfalls, river terraces (remnant of a former floodplain) and incised meanders (deepend meanders). Hope this has been helpful. (:

Geog 1 is the hardest exam ever. 3rd time doing it. Need a B! Populations is the worst one! Any one have a prediction on what question they could ask us for the 15 mark essay? x

does anyone know likely grade boundaries
are they really low?
cause i looked at some and its like 70/120 for an A
will it be the same this year/ or around 70-75

Who else is "****ting it"

Any predictions as to what might come up? This is my retake from AS and desperately need to do well for uni. Need a minimum of a C overall in Geog but want better!

I got 84/120 which is a B, thus i guess 95-120 is an A.
i hope that helps

WOAH! I've had a look at AQA's UMS converter for this course and the A grade has never been above 75! To get 100 UMS you need mid-80s...definitely not 90s for an A grade...unless the AQA UMS converter is...lying?

Any 15 Marker predictions?

I think maybe something on Antarctica may come up, if you're doing cold environments?

Thats what really irritates me, all of my friends think that geography is really easy because some years it is almost half marks for an A, but it is deceptively hard to get an A, as they mark it quite harshly and the questions can be vague.
