AQA GCE Geography Unit 3- 7th June 2013

No, I didn't even try which was so stupid. I wrote way too much for the short answers though. I don't take any sciences so I always feel like a massive douchebag when I try to use "scientific words". So for the tsunami question I was just like "the inverse relationship between etcetc" and in my head I was thinking "the examiner is going to think you're a total gimp".

I hope it goes well for ya though dawg xoxox

For the ecosystems essay - 'asses the impact of human activities on ecosystems on a local scale' (the question was roughly like that), is it ok to include plagioclimax (heather moorland) and climatic climax (Morfa Harlech) in this essay?

The person I'm quoting did 25 marks on globalization and world cities and people seem to think as they were both from the same section he will only be credited for his highest 25 marker and his essay

What did people wrote about for the world cities 8 marker ?

The front of the paper says this:

Answer three options: one from each Section. In Section C, you must not answer the same option as those chosen in Sections A and B.

So you are right. Oh dam, some better tell some of my friends then, shiiiiiit the look on their faces when the find out...

Do you think any teachers will complain to the exam board about the Mann Whiney U test? Seems a valid argument.

what grade does everyone think they will get after this exam?

I'm not sure if half the stuff I talked about was relevant to be honest! I talked about how the UK is on the polar edge of a ferrel cell so it gets tropical air rising from the Hadley cell and polar air subsiding from the polar cell causing depressions! Also talked about how it was near the polar jet stream (don't think this is right!) between Ferrel and polar cells so cold upper atmospheric winds cool temperatures?! For oceanic I talked about how it was surrounded by sea so the sea brings cool winds in summer to the land as land heats up quicker than sea and warm winds in winter as sea keeps its heat longer and added about the north atlantic drift warming temperatures!! Have no idea about this question :/

The one about 'Define a world city and describe them or something?
well I defined it (obviously) then gave some examples. I literally then blabbled on about why they are important and have impact around the world. I brought in about TNC's and how the headquarters are located in world cities due to good transport links/educated workforce and then spoke about how imporant this was for the global economy. Then talked about tokyo and electronics and blahblah. I ended it by saying that in the future there will be more world cities in ledcs/nics, such as India due to changes in job sector (service sector)
literally waffled so much. didnt know what to put haha, the question threw me, wasnt expecting it.
wbu?

the globalisation 40 maker was on Trade and Aid but i misinterpreted the question talked only about aid - how many marks max do you reckon i can get for the essay now? the essay was based on LDCs that's why i thought it was talking about aid. i feel so stupid now

I did not write anything like that - I started talking about them being a financial centre and a sphere of influence and spatial proximity and as a resource centre - not sure that it is right

Dude, you can interpret as ever you please. I talked about the causes of poverty, then how they could be resolved internally (with examples) and how they might need to be resolved externally (with examples).

it really depends on the type of examiner haha, I reckon A/B. I feel like the essay went well and my short answers were ok. rushed the world cities ones at the end though but essay>short answers any day haha, wbu?

Thank God someone else did it the same way hahah, I was starting to freak out that I had just seen the question in a totally different way; I can see how both ways are valid though. Totally forgot about the R&D thing because I had ranted about it in the 7 marker before.

Which essay did you do?

same, I feel confident - but that is usually a bad thing :/ and everyone else seems to have done really well, meaning grade boundaries are probably higher! Also, I was really tired in the exam so I probably didn't write properly - anxious wait until the 16th august....
