What did it mean on question 1 when it said "Account for one country's strategy to reduce the rate of rapid population growth" what did it mean by account for? Did it want effectiveness or why it is done or what? I just wrote everything I know about China's OCP

I just wrote what I knew about it's actual policy because I thought account for the strategy kinda meant describe the strategy but im not sure

"the rate of growth of world population is becoming increasingly more rapid, often shown as a j-curve graph"
does anyone remember the 8 mark question for tourism?
What did you put for the uses of the rural urban fringe?I put recreation, would that be right?

For the squatter case study I labelled it as Brazil favelas but put info about sustainable cities Curitiba. Will I get any marks at all for that ?? Also was there a question to label a map in urban environments as I didn't see one but heard people talking about one


Not sure I used Favela Bairro in Brazil although I thought about writing about Curitiba but I crossed it out. Also there was a question with something to do with maps but it was only two marks I think.
I did Indonesia's Transmigration Policy for the population 8 marker. I talked about the problems rapid population was causing on the island of Java, and then the Indonesian Governments solution to the problem. I then went on to evaluate it. Is Indonesia an acceptable case study for this question? I was really worried as loads of people did China!

What exam board is this?
I did Kenya for the tourism case study which I'm assuming is right as most people did it. My classmate did Antarctica (lol) so I'm assuming he'd get no marks or can he still get SPAG marks?

Could you have factories. Says it in one of the revision guides with farming to ??
Does anyone else have half of the clas arguing that the tourism case study was Kenya, and the other half suggesting that it was Tattaquara Lodge?

It's in the CGP book... So I'm guessing yes?

We had that.
Except everyone thought the case study they ended up doing was wrong.
It was quite funny.

I think so because you can include urban uses such as factories
