AQA Geography Unit 2 May 21st 2013

How did you guys and girls find the exam?
I personally liked the paper and hopefully it will bump up my boarder line A before the resit.
The only thing I'm worried about is that I drew a scatter graph where as the majority of my class drew a comparative bar chart, anyone else do the same?
Just 3 months of waiting now....great :/

What did everyone put for the biggest anomaly in the data set? (surprised noone asked this) I wasn't too sure, went for Maranhao in the end

Same here, it was the only one where the d^2 value was significantly different.

I thought the paper was pretty nice really (easier than most of the past papers?) so hoping for a decent mark - my only mistake was a rounding error. I remembered the 1-, but then messed up the easy bit! I didn't find paper 1 very pleasant so hopefully this will bump the UMS up though, apart from that little blip I thought it was good.

It's 0.740 rounded up from like 0.7398 - if you didn't get that you went wrong somewhere

Well for example; you could draw the contour lines on and show a V shaped valley, or a gentle valley. Also, you could show a Meander with a slip off slope and label it 'deposition'...

That's what I did, but my aim is to compare changes to the river characteristics downstream...

What did the fieldwork question mean when they talked about your theory and concept?

does anyone know how for jan 13 paper, you needed 35/50 for an A, but how many raw marks would you need for full ums? how do you calculate that? help?

oh man, do you lose a mark for not rounding to 0.740?

omg i completely ran out of time for this paper. I
missed out 3 questions and the ones i did do i got wrong

I have to disgree with 0.74 for the spearmans rank it was definately 0.260 the formulae stated for you to do the sum of d squared x 6 over n cubed -n it never stated for you to take the 1 off, and therefore it was not needed. In my case it was 6 * 74.5 / 12 cubed -12.Ben
