Geography AQA A2 Unit 4B

yeah i agree think it was just to justify, although im sure the bad points wont do any harm but yeah it asked why they should be justified. i mentioned how it would be put to good use, that we produce all the emissions and it has a bad effect on them, and then that the taxpayers money could be spent on training the people of bangladesh to work in the uk if it was needed because of the ageing workforce, simply cus that guy in booklet suggested it!

I thought it was a decent paper apart from question 1.
I haven't done choropleths since GCSE, and couldn't think of anything else. In the end i did coloured zones eg. Orange for 1-5 deaths. Then talked about how this gives the reader a clear comparison between the worst and least effected zones. It actually came out quite nice with the worst effected zones on the west and then reducing mainly to the west in colour.
Anyone think i'll get away with some marks for that?

same! may have accidentally come across a little xenophobic, as i said something along the lines of 'well lots migrate to the UK and find themselves in poverty and unemployment, so if we don't want this we should pay for them to sort their lives out so they can stay in bangladesh' ahaaa, came out completely wrong obviously!

yep think thats what most did, but you were only supposed to do one district, not the whole map

one thing, maybe i'm wrong, but the taxpayer question said 'make a justification..', so i only wrote good things about using taxpayer money? is this wrong? oops.

what did you do for the choropleth map for just one district?

i just did the whole thing except i only had a biro so had to do patterns....

wasnt sure how you could one district unless they were just offering oyu marks for staying in the lines...

Send me your email.

I used chloropleth but only did the one district....just put a key at the side and my 51-60 deaths was horizontal stripes so i just did that. Seems quite strange for 4 marks though as i did what they said but it was hardly any work tbh.

You are an absolute hero, I'd of failed that exam if it wasn't for you. Much love!!



I miss-read the question, spending about 20 minutes doing every district

Do you think i'll get marked down for not putting in quotes from the pre-release to back up my points?

well that was interesting! anyone else do a choropleth??

i really thought this exam was decent there werent any obscure questions either did anyone here write about scuba rice?

what did people put for the uk taxpayers one?

Was it just me or did people find that a lot better than January? Finally AQA got something right!
It was very open to whatever, and your own background came in useful. In past papers I have found that sometimes this unit appears more like a maths paper than an actual Geography one! Spearman rank, pie charts. Will admit, didn't despise question one.

I've always called that map a "chloropleth map", apparently I'm wrong. (':
Also, missed out the map question and website one to begin with (thought I'd crack on with the longer ones first), so tackled the 10 marker. Upon finishing it I thought I'd done the most difficult question, so moved on to the next, a 15 marker. Did the same thing, 15 marker again? First time I've seen that, but I particularly liked those questions, because they were very much down to individual research. In study leave, people sitting 4B came in to revise that, guess it paid off because everyone understood it and felt it went well.

At the end I went back to the maps (and website question) and had a little colouring in time. I didn't realise you only needed to do one region, it seemed too little for 4 marks, so I did the whole thing, key and all. I had 30 minutes left at the end anyway, so filled it out by doing that and writing 15 markers even more in the bits where it tells you to turn over or that it's the end of the question. I feel sorry for the person marking my exam, my writing is TINY, let alone by doing that, my bad!
