Whats everyones general consensus about that exam? Personally I think it's one/ if not the hardest paper I've ever seen for geography. Would like to get everyone elses views?


I totally agree, this year was defo much harder!!, I thought all the questions were pretty harsh, as in previous years you'd usually get two really nice ones out of a paper

1. China's South-North water transfer scheme
2. Israel- recycling+ desalinisation
3. Small scale projects like play pumps in Kenya- sustainable, but not an option for developed countries with high water demand like China

Also could of talked about Dams and the minute 319 agreement
(I think)

Three Gorges Dam and the South-North water transfer project, and the 1908 treaties and agreements set up to decide who gets how much water on the Colorado upper/lower basins + native americans

Came out short on case studies for it as I revised more for water conflicts (such as Israel etc...)
Anyway guys, lets let it go, its in the past now, for better or for worse, carrying on forward, cos anyone have any seismic processes or notes on unit 4 tectonic?

Water conservation, water recycling/reuse. sustainable water technologies, then i talked about a water harvesting scheme in India compared with 3 Gorges Dam to compare it with wbu?
Everyone is saying it was a really hard paper but personally I thought it was really nice! I answered energy and water and I thought both parts of both questions weren't bad at all! And the section B questions were basically the ones predicted by my college :smile:
Personally, I thought it was one of the hardest Geography papers I have seen. The wording of the questions were strange and the actual answering of questions at points became quite difficult.

Can somebody please tell me what the question was for 6a. And if anyone is doing rural landscape for Unit 4 then I'd like to have a chat and see if we can share resources etc as I'm definately going to need to boost my grade up after that horror show 😂Cheers
