oh wow - you guys seem to find this all so easy! why am I struggling so much?
it's the short answers ones that I get stuck on, like the 5 markers? it's as if you have to have five points, and the mark scheme is ridiculously vague/wishy-washy with the marking so that I can't get marks?
I don't know, that's just my view - the chances of me passing this are very slim, despite the fact that I've been revising for ages now

I think the examiners can use their own knowledge to give you a mark if what you've said is right but not on the mark scheme, it'll be fine

So.. how did you all find it?

I thought it was a fair, easy enough exam. Answered Q7 (Different costs for earthquakes/hazards of Philippines).

[caitwinxo]

I thought it was okay, I normally get high marks in geography and it was a little more difficult than all the mocks we did I answered Question 7 too! I normally do the human questions but ended up doing that one!

[Shoxx]

I did Q7 too I was mentally prepared to do the first question so thank god it wasnt too difficult

Bleh horrible paper for me..my 5 markers were rubbish, wrote more for my 10 marker than my 15, and my handwriting has never ever been so messy (still readable though) but fml

yeah some questions were not nice :/ And same! I think i wrote more for my 10 marker than my 15 marker I made the stupidest mistake though, forgot about the resource booklet for the first half of the long questions

[Mocking_bird]

Weirdest question

[Jakelol]

I ticked the last box, Bacon and Bread. Everyone else in my class did the same so I am confident thats the right answer.

I thought it was horrible, I was rpeating from last year where I got 92/120 and really needed a high A (110+)
Tbh I hadn't revised as much as I should'veso my own fault :'(
I stupidly did question ten even though question 7 looked so easy! And struggled on the 5 mark questions
So annoyed as I need an A overall and don't see unit 4 going that well!

A lot of people in my class chose question 10 I didnt even bother reading the human questions because i knew id waste another 2 minutes deciding what question to do haha

What questions did people get stuck on, we can go through them on here.

One I went a little blank on was how TNC's adapt to markets but think I got it in the end.

I wrote about;

Mulan and Disney, venturing into foreign countries.
Ratatouille to advance in the French markets for Disney and to accompany Disney Land Paris
I wrote about McDonalds producing a chinese Ronald McDonald
I also wrote about how Tesco adapt to migration flows, Polish food in UK stores.

I hardly mentioned any examples, actually I think I wrote that cadbury makes it chinese chocolate sweeter to suit their needs I also remember writing about 'glocalisation'

i gave the example of McDonalds introducing veggie burgers to India because Hindu's cant eat beef

there was a 2 mark question to do with solar energy i think but i dont think i did that one right? what did other people say?

[Spellstheend]

I can't really remember what I wrote but I didn't really like the paper that much, the 5 markers seemed quite specific and I didn't write everything i knew so could have done better. What reasons did you put for why landfills were bad? Mine were so not to the point/vague
My timings weren't great, how much did everyone write for their 10 and 15markers? I'm not even sure how much you're supposed to write

I put the last option for the bacon question (what a stupid question!)

Was it spring or autumn for the other 1 marker, people i asked all put the opposite to me

I've always done well in geog so hopefully it'll come across in my answers more than I think
