I agree, I did the same paper and found it very physics-y :eek:

Did you summarise the first process or the second? I did the first because I could somewhat understand it. No idea what it had to do with Geography though

Nope it was the same for me! On the first exam he said 'you have under one minute left' and I nearly had a heart attack because I still had another question to go

How did you find history? What did you write for the first question? When I first looked at the source I was like what on earth is this, why is a baby falling off the railing, and why has a man got a baby/person on a stick in the background? :K:

I also did the first because it sounded like the pressure belts we studied, in relation to the Sahara desert, they may have been two totally different topics though.

Hey someone else who's doing maths and a language :biggrin:

what are your other options? Completely the other way round for me, French was a disgrace but maths was quite good

Don't know the exact date but the principal said that it would take 10 - 14 days

I did the philosophy, I think it went well! You?

Posted from TSR Mobile

I think it went okay but I didn't finish the last question. I also did History and luckily the source was one that I had already covered back in year 10!

I studied that source last year! It was about how people resorted to drinking Gin because there was no reliable water supply as it was contaminated. I also wrote about how the people were possibly a working class population because of the types of clothes they were wearing. I guess it was open to own interpretation. What did you write?

Aw I didn't see the point about gin at all😢
I wrote about there being a lack of food, for example a man who seemed to be taking a bone from a dog? and about people being poor, although I was confused about the man who looked half dead because his clothes seemed to be better quality than everyone else's, so I said it was open to interpretation. And I wrote something about everyone being oblivious because there was a man who looked near dead, and a baby that was just falling off of the stairs. Overall, that question didn't go very well :frown:

I also didn't get to finish as I moved on to the second bc it was worth more marks, but I never got to go back to the first. I'm just hoping my 2nd question carries me through 😰

It felt like I was doing philosophy rather than biology when I saw that. But considering I also took the philosophy exam I quite liked the question. Heard it before on family guy so I had small small background knowledge.

I doubt it but thanks. I practically failed the biology paper. The 15 mark essay was so unexpected. What are your A level options?
