The topography is the geographical layout of the land and any features (mountains/rivers) i just wrote about how the Himalayas prevented trade with China, limiting economic growth.

I didn't liken it to a case study but just said that high, isolated and rural areas would be less capable of trade than the coast which would reduce economic development.

I didn't have time to finish the paper because in the last three minutes I found another 8 mark question! It was huge and in my opinion, much harder than the specimen.

I'm the same!
I thought it would be okay but am really upset with my performance.

So many unused case studies! I wanted to talk about Bangladesh :s-smilie:
You could also talk about how highland areas limit acssecbility for transport ect
Finally! people who do edexcel b. nah but seriously that exam was something else. I just don't know how to feel about it tbh :s-smilie:

Sounds like the AQA exam was a dream and that Edexcel a was much better.

Hopefully the other papers will be better...
I had English Literature this morning so by the afternoon I was zonked!

well it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, considering the fact that we didn't even finish challenges of an urbanising world and I had to teach myself about 80% of the course.
I thought it was fine, no problems

What was you say were the hardest questions on that test. What were the 8 markers again ?
i have a mock on this in two weeks what were the major questions
Hey I've got my mock tomorrow did you find out what the major questions were and what case studies you had to use? Did you have to use any of the theories like the sunspot and eruption theory?
