AQA GCSE Geography (Human) 18th June 2012

yeah same thing i also put for human about how they ha no proper sewers

What did people put about the ways to reduce pollution in the water?? Thanks

What sort of grade boundaries do people predict, I found this a lot easier than the physical paper and was a fairly easy paper overall so I predict about 61 out of 75 for A*

Just saying but 61 is wayyyy to high im going to say, I thought last years human was nicer than this one and that was 58, im going to say about 55 maybe?

Hey, I completely forget the case study for the Development Gap topic(I should have put about FARM Africa). Instead, I just decided to put down the Rio de Janeiro case study which was for improving squatter settlements, which I thought was relevant to the development of the country/area. Would have I got any marks for this development question, even though I used a case study for the urban topic?

Hello, I wonder if someone could help me out here, on the 8 marker the sustainable living. I used three case studies to explain- curitiba with the bus transport system, London - congestion zone charging to reduce traffic levels and Newcastle - regeneration of buildings so they are not left derlict
the question did say "use a case study" not "case studies" but I couldn't write loads for curitba for 8 marks?
What do you think? :P

I was thinking maybe 44 for an A, 52 for A*? Hopefully?

Firstly, if you've done it well it won't matter, in fact using more case studies puts you above the most people because it shows you have learnt a lot!
But, London is by no means a sustainable city, it is one of the least energy efficient areas in the UK. Yes, they are trying to improve the area, but, it's not sustainable as of yet, so I don't know how they will tackle London when marking it.
As for Newcastle, no idea, I didn't do that, but, what you've written about sounds okay.
Curitiba there is loads! They built the museum and library from recycled materials (100%), put children in the streets to colour to reduce traffic, the green exchange (exchanging green waste for surplus food and transport tokens) and the solution tot he parks (a fine on building on buildings above four stories, or ensuring everyone has the equivalent to 40m^2 of green land each).

But, if you've done it well, it's fine.

PS. You owe me. I wrote this while eating my Cornflakes and now they are all soggy.

I agree, I think it will be something similar to this. Well at least I hope it is!!!

Could you use 2 case studies for the 8 marker on the tourism section????

my final question before i move on with my life in terms of geography: In globalisation, and it asked you to name the FEATURES of a TNC, what did you talk about?

i werent too sure of what features meant but all my revision guide gave me was the pros and cons so thats all i wrote but in a lot of detail

I did that too, I found it alright. Much better than physical!

Ooh a few of my friends sat the physical! They were quite pleased with it

I got 135 in that exam and our teacher refuses to tell us what we got on the coursework! Which is quite annoying :/ he said everyone's got at least an a though, so if that's 80, then I need 135 UMS in this exam to get an A* overall! Ahh the stress! I really don't want to wait till results day, I'll be such a nervous wreck the night before!

It sort of depends what the question said, I cant remember what it exactly said. If it said "one or more named case studies" then you're fine.
