thanks, do you have ggb6?

nope sorry

I did ggb6 in january...the questions on the investigation were pretty straightforward, I think they asked to describe a method of data collection, and then a method of data presentation. But that's all I can remember from that section :s-smilie:

On the other bit there was a cloropleth map question which actually required colouring...there was also a pie chart question, and loads of people had forgotten a protractor/compass and were trying to use water bottle lids. So definitely remember to bring one. There was also something on sampling.

Sorry if that isn't extremely helpful, I'm having trouble remembering..but there was definitely NO horrible lorenz curve or location quotient which I was very relieved about.

Good luck! x

Yep I did GGB6 in Jan and think GlitterStorm has pretty much covered it.
Fieldwork= *aims/hypothesis, Methods of data collection and presentation
Section B= *Choropleth map including establishing a suitable scale
*Pie charts which had to be proportionally drawn (using some maths!)
*Think there something for 4 marks suggesting why employment numbers and ratio of men/women employed in a factory had changed.
*6 marks on sampling- suggest 2 different methods to collect data from a town.

The main think we noted was that there was no huge report as seen in previous past papers- maybe the style of paper has changed slightly??
Good Luck x

Awesome! I'll be really pleased if they've stopped doing those report questions and focused on "techniques"... they changed the format of the GGB5 exam i sat this Jan, usually they would ask 3 or 4 big mark q's however this time 2 questions were "split" into 4 and 3 mark questions :biggrin:

hey, just thought id give people a heads up about 2moro's exam!

LORENZ curves

according to my teachers they're supposed to recycle each part of the unit every three years and its exactly 3 years this summer since lorenz curves came up. also, they went to the examiners meetings and the chief examiner stressed lorenz curves several times, indicating its going to come up
