How much time would you say should be spent on the essay?

Posted from TSR Mobile

The exam board recommend spending an hour on it so spend 45 mins on the smaller sections. It's fine if you exceed 1 hour but make sure you have enough time to answer the other sections.

Hi, I have got 227 UMS overall - what do I need to get a B in unit three?

You need 53 UMS for a B out of 120

280 - 227 = 53/120 = 45% mid E so about 30-33/90 or 34-37% Raw

A in 4A will be 64/80 UMS
155 + 64 = 219
320 - 219 = 101
101/120 = 85% = mid A
So you will need around 62-65/90 or 69-73% Raw based on last 3 June exams

Thanks!

Yes, 77/120=65% mid C, so you need about 46-49/90 52-55% Raw

Extrusive landforms have never came up in a 40 mark question, neither have minor extrusive features or intrusive features.
Since 09 it has only been plate tectonics theory in aiding understanding of distribution of seismic events. Or the mitigation of volcanic hazards, the physical or human factors impacting the impact of earthquake hazards. Therefore nowhere near everything has been covered by previous questions.

They won't come up. They belong in Section A as they're too restrictive for discussion.

Well im a bit confused at what i need because on UCAS it says I need ABB but then at the open day they said we needed BBB? I think that is a good thing that they offered you BBB because it means they want you more maybe? Yeah I'm thinking I might get ABC but Im not sure if they would let us in if the C was in Geography :frown:

I need a nice way to introduce a case study in a 10 mark question where you are supposed to name one case study. I tend to say "A good example of..." anyone got better ideas? thanks - Also does a conflict involving just 2 countries considered international? Please be pretty certain before answering :tongue:
