    Higher Geography Exam
    Hey,
    Basically, in the first paper I did all 8 questions rather than 6. Stupid mistake, I know. I think I answered all questions fine (other than 1a which i found a nightmare), but I was wondering what everyone thought about this? I just need some reassurance to put mind at rest haha :P

    They will mark all your questions and award you the higher mark of question 5 & 6 and the highest of question 7 & 8.

    By the sounds of it half the people who sat the exam done this...

    I find it really strange because surely the teachers emphasise the exam format and exam technique?

    Unfortunately, my school is quite pathetic, I have never once heard there is multiple choice questions in the exam (Or maybe I just didn't hear one day when they mentioned it... But I would have thought they'd make it clear more than once) I suppose you could say I should have read the question carefully, as I realise now it told you at the top, but I took it for granted that you did all the questions and I was so focused on doing them all correctly.

    Our invigilators reminded us during the exam too.

    Yeah, they may have done for us, but I was too busy worrying about changing my wobbly table haha...
