    Yes I noticed this earlier! Doesn't seem like a coincidence at all!

    My predictions are;

    Atmosphere - Solar Budget/Energy Surplus/Ocean Currents
    Biosphere - Soil profiles
    Lithosphere - Glacial features
    Hydrosphere - Describe River on a OS Map

    Rural - Choose between the 3
    Population - Demographic Transition Model/Population Pyramid
    Industry - Old Industrial Area Describe/Explain factors
    Urban - CBD on a map

    Rural Land Resources - Limestone Area
    Development & Health - Malaria - Difference within/between and Social/Economic Indicators

    Well, I'm hoping all that comes up...
    Looking back at the paper, my predictions were pretty good!

    I finished all the questions (Apart from 1a, but that was because i was bad at the mapwork rather than timing problems), but im just worried that i could have picked up some more marks on the other questions if i hadnt stupidly done those two unnecessary questions :P
    Don't worry about it now you will have done fine!

    I thought that was fine but that's cos we done the same question in class so many times! I just don't think I wrote enough for 12 marks!
    I didnt get 1b) or Q2 though!

    I thought it was hard to get 6 marks for a deposition feature in 1b) and there also didn't seem a lot of marks for 1a) just right int the grid reference....there is a corrie and so on so I added in that this showed evidence of abrasion and plucking. Don't think that does anything extra however!

    I basically wrote corrie grid reference, tarn grid reference and ribbon lake grid reference. Then after that I just said there is a ..... . There is a ...... . Basically assumed things were there because if I remember correctly you only need 3 or 4 grid references.
