I don't do Borneo for a case study, which question was that for?
I thought that it was rather easy but lots of my year said that they struggled so I hope that means that the grade boundaries are low.

We do Costa Rica at our school - it was such a nice question!
Some people in my year didnt even know the names of the case studies!

Yeah a few people in my year found the questions quite ambiguous, after reading them a few times it became clear. I think i got about 80%, maybe a bit more? Hopefully the grade boundaries are nice

I wrote only Samsati Nature Retreat on the line but didn't write Costa Rica, is that bad??
I hated the questions on graphs like describe the pattern of the temperature change. What did you guys put? I literally wrote a page for a 4 marker to try and cop some marks.

I also didn’t like the question about el nino
Yeah they were bad I just wrote that in intervals of about 50000 years the temp increased then decreased probably cuz it was a medical warm period but I'm not too sure if that's right

No, every school has different case studies. I'm pretty sure Samsati is completely right, some of the classes at my school used this rather than MonteVerde. They are basically the same thing

Yeah that graph was pretty messed up, the El Nino one was alright I think - could have been a lot harder!

Don't worry about it! You can't change it now and you never know, every other answer may have been spot on!!

That temperature graph symbolised the quaternary period, and you just had to identify the interglacial and glacial periods.

Ngl that exam was decent but fqed up on that river basin 6 marker since i didnt have time to revise distinctive landscapes.... (english lit took most of my revision time)
