WJEC Geography B GCSE Exam-- 4th June 2013

No, I can't remember...But it said something about how more people in Brighton are renting but I don't think it said from whose perspective renting be would be beneficial

So, how well do you think you did in the exam?

What did you write for the question about how much of the cost was lost (30,50,70m)?

I wrote the same points @tranquility for the reason for rent. I also wrote 30 for the distance. What did you guys put for the grid reference?

I did 30.

The exam was fairly easy. I didn't finish of the diagram where I had to label how the coast transports its materials. The only things I did were two arrows and labelled them 'swash' and 'backswash'. Although, I'm not too sure if that's even correct. If it is I get 2/4 marks I think.

I also didn't finish of the last case study. I chose the second option (river flooding) and wrote about Boscastle floods in 2004. I got kind of stuck on the question where I had to explain one or more methods on how to prevent coastal erosion. I put down sea walls and groynes, but I didn't explain what exactly groynes do. All I said about them were that they last longer than sea walls and are much more expensive to set up.

I think it asked explain two reasons why renting a home is good..
I said that you can earn money, because the tenants can pay you for their stay.. etc
and you can retrieve your home back after providing a notice to the tenants.. This means that you will be earning money when you are not staying there, and can easily repossess your home as you are the legal owner..

Hope that's right! What did you put?

Ohh.. You'll be fine anyway!! Good luck for next week!

I thought the case studies I did were great and hopefully should get close to full marks on both.

Overall, the exam went great. Until the last minute of the exam when I realised I hadn't done the first two pages. - The housing tenure page and the one next to it. - I was gutted as they were so easy marks. The examiner is not going to have a good impression when he opens my exam paper.

How many marks will I lose for not doing the first 2 pages? It had a graph and it asked what tenure was, you needed to fill in the graph, compare the trend and I think there was one more? How many works where there all together?

How do you guys think that'll affect me? A grade or two?

EDIT: Is it just me that can't see the grade boundaries pictures above?

I thought most of the exam was quite easy, the coastal defences was a bit hard but luckily I had revised coastal management strategies well because my teacher told me it was very likely to come up.

What did everyone put for the first case study question? I used London Docklands but I had to stretch it pretty far to make it work :/

i got 70 for the coast erosion question

I think the answer was 30..
