advantages and disadvantages of spearmans??
If it was a population paper would they have anything about urban and rural characteristics or house type etc?

Yes, I can't remember which paper but my teacher was showing us one today and there were 2 figures of housing in different areas and you had to compare characteristics.
The next question also had data about the 2 areas and you had to discuss the data and implications for social welfare.

that came up in 2013 so probs not
what graphs do we need to know?

All my teacher has told us is all the usual ones- bar line, scatter, dot and then dispersion and histograms?

The AQA spec doesn't give specifics.
Good luck guys
keep calm
you got this!
Any predictions?

My teacher was saying this year it could be standard deviation, because spearman's rank was on last years paper.
going through past questions found this ' outline one technique that you used to present one aspect of your primary research and explain why it was appropriate?
could you talk about analysis or presentation?
what could they ask about standard deviation? btw what are the pros and cons of standard deviation??

It says present so do not talk about anaysis otherwise you'll get 0 marks. You could talk about scatter graphs and why they're useful e.g. they can show you correlations and detect any anomalies.

I think that the 2nd half of the paper was alright actually... it was the first half that i dreaded the most!
How did everyone find that? I think it went quite well
