well I looked at one of the mark schemes from a recent past paper and it said 71/120 is an A which is 59%. That's crazy generous!

I LOVED THAT PAPER. Genuinely think I dropped 3 marks. But i think i got a high B in Geog unit 1 so hopefully it will bring it up!! Good luck to you mate!

I liked section B(ish) but didn't know how to draw a sketch properly :frown:

I'm soooo worried about it now because Unit 2 can throw the whole grade :/

Well it was lower than June 2012 are you therefore implying that people probably found it a really difficult paper? :smile:

well it wasn;t easier, the grade boundaries just keep getting higher. Annoying coz i couldn't answer a 15 marker in this, and i'd never got stuck on one before.

I can't believe that they raised the grade boundaries higher compared to the June 2012 paper myself and loads of my classmates found paper 1 for geography really difficult :l
