What people are saying about GCSE Geography Paper 1 on The Student Room

I wrote about dune for the hot environments 9 marker, am I cooked?

Nethanerusia

how’s that related ? but you might still get some marks if you said something relevant i guess

whatsuppppppp

I loved that test so much. I can’t believe AQA did environments 9 marker again so that threw me a bit but I think i’ve messed up somewhere because I ended up having half an hour to do one nine marker at the end 💀
