Does anyone know how many UMS 26/50 would be?

Edit: Ah, just seen last year's. 26 was actually 30 UMS...

I have attached two files that my teacher emailed us that may be of some use and does someone know how to change the date to Thursday the 14th

What did you get on your controlled assessment guys ....

18/20 for the first one
30/30 for the second one

48/50 total which was an A*

I honestly have no idea how I managed that... all I did was go on and on about random stuff which all sounded stupid to me!
Geography is my 'mess about' lesson, lol!

How did the exam go, guysssss?

For A, I put Wave Cut Platform
For B, I just put River Bank

That question seemed really simple but for me it was one of the hardest!!
My friend put Beach for A

I put undercutting... random guess. I didn't answer the other one, I just couldn't think of anything.

A wave cut platform is basically formed by undercutting anyway ... at least I think it is! and I thought beach could have been right seeing as though they form on Wave Cut Platforms. lol

How did you do on the two case studies? I really struggled for time and couldn't write enough for both of them. Oh well, grade boundaries aren't usually that high.

I thought te A and B one was river cliffs and slip off slopes because it was in a meander?

Not really sure. What was the point of the watershed diagram below the picture?

For the first one I did about Rio de Janeiro with the favelas around the outside.
For the second one I did the 2003 European Heatwave.
They went a lot better than I expected them to, to be honest! I was dreading the fact that I was going to run out of time as our teachers had really drilled it into us that it was "a mark a minute" and I'm really slow on exams so I went through it all as fast as I could and don't worry, you don't actually have to write that much for the case studies, as long as you relate it to the question and get the key points in

For last year's exam it was 41/60 for an A*. What do you think the grade boundary for an A* will be for this year's exam?

Yep, that actually sounds right!
We haven't even done much about rivers, just forms of erosion in them like Abrasion :L and I hardly revised anything about coasts and erosion and I was trying to do the questions quickly so I had plenty of time for the case studies so I just put the first thing that came into my head :L

What the hell. In my mocks I got 43/60 for Geography and that was a B...
So I honestly have no idea, sorry
What do you think it'll be?

Waaaaah? Perhaps your teacher graded it as a B so you worked even harder. He/she may have thought that you would slack off if you achieved an A* which you did.
I think it will be 43-45 for an A*.

[pawandeep]

some one put up an unofficial mark scheme for this

[pawandeep]

i reckon for a * this year itll be 42

[peterso]
