just did the SDME and stupidly wrote option "c" instead of 3 :frown:

do you guys think this matters

Unless the examiner is a right ****, no

For the question which asked you to give an example of a secondary and tertiary work, would it matter if the example you gave was not the one in the booklet. Only worth 2 marks but would still be f****** annoying if they didnt

Don't worry I read it as what do these sectors do - so I put like

Secondary: manufacturing goods for retail
Tertiary: provides a service

So you probably got the mark regardless - I completely lost both :frown:

Yeah i wished i looked more closely but even then surely they can't mark you wrong for something that is right!

Hmm but I don't think the rest of the paper went too well - do you know what the previous grade boundaries were?

Thank you!!

Personally reckon they will be lower - I think unlike previous years, the choice for the 16 marker wasn't clear cut. Usually when we have done a past paper, everyone has come out and all chosen the same, but there was a great deal of difference, so some people's points might not be strong enough for why an area is/isn't suitable (if that makes sense) :biggrin:

I know you weren't asking me - but I reckon 28 for an A* this year :smile:

And I personally think it went "meh" - final choice for 16 marker wasn't clear cut!

What about you?

Guys since the OCR SDME was on economic development, will the economic development case studies (eg Nike, coca-cola) come up in the key themes exam on the 3rd June? Please reply!
