Make yourself a "time boundary". Let's say 10-15minutes for a question.
If you won't finish answering the question in that time, just leave it in the middle of the sentence and move on to the next one. That's the tip our teacher always gave us :smile:

This will ensure you that you'll have a opportunity to gain marks in every question....

Are you serious?! :eek:

I wish we could get glacial features question tomorrow. It's an extremely nice way of getting that 3-4 marks at the beginning of the Credit Exam. :biggrin:

But the rest of the OS map questions are just awful :frown:

And It's always Q1...

Anyways... Did you choose Geography for Higher? I did :smile:

I chose it for higher regreting it now... i don't mind describing terminal moraine or that its identifying it on OS maps always get that one wrong so frustrating :/

I did crap in the prelim (4) and then revised my ass off and got a 1.

Tips: focus on weakest topics, then do some PP q's on that topic. That usually helped me. And also in the exam, write everything you know as soon as you read the question, it's better to write to much and get the marks than write half as much and get less marks!

Good Luck! :^_^:

Hi, is it safe to discuss the exam yet?

I thought the exam was odd. It was definitely more about human geography.

The one about land use and the one about Shetlands was hard, oh so was the one about the junction.

The hardest was probably the marine life one

That was actually much better than I expected, considering I didn't do much revision at all for this exam :tongue:

.
I was surprised that a lot of the mapwork questions were only 4 marks. I found the question about the measures the engineers have taken to overcome the physical landscape a bit weird. I could only see embankments, tunnels, cutting and a bridge on my OS map.
For the ES questions I did tend to ramble a bit, but hopefully I've managed to pick up some marks for them. I got a bit panicky on the 6 marker about farming, as I didn't even know what improved pasture was.
Overall, I'm hoping for a 1.

Yeah... Shetlands and junction questions were the most difficult.
I also had some problems with EU and Fairtrade questions, but I wrote everything what came to my mind and hopefully I'll get some marks for them.

I wanted to say big THANK YOU to the tsr person who predicted Corrie and weather question :smile:

I learned whole definiction of corrie formation by heart and just wrote it :smile:

Shame it was only worth 4 marks. But I didn't learn anything about the weather and I wasn't sure what to write when we had to compare those two cities.

Generally the OS map question today weren't too bad at all, and I'm pretty happy with them.

Anyway... I hope I'll get a 1 :smile:

Can't wait for August...

Music revision for me now, exam tomorrow.

For the Shetlands one I rambled on about young people, less taxes, government spending less on education and stuff about retirement and taking care of old people.
