was it relevant to talk about deforestation (and its impact on carbon budget) for when trees are cleared for farming practices. My other point was on capital-intensive farming

I hope so because I wrote about deforestation too. The question really threw me.

I had no idea what to write for the carbon budget one, to be honest i forgot what a carbon budget was? i just spoke about deforestation and pastoral and arable farming. was so bad! I feel like disappointed as well cause I realised during the exam i actually know stuff hahaha 😂

I really don't know. When I read through it at the end I thought I'd done okay but now I'm only thinking about the stuff I did wrong. What about you?

Not great but not terrible. My 6/9 markers were decent but my 20 markers were too basic i think. Grade boundaires are around 65% (worked out excluding NEA) for an A so im hoping thats gonna save me

I want them to be extra kind and generous when marking our papers due to ya know, the pandemic but not gonna happen w our government 😕 I feel like no one really did this exam either? seems so unpopular? I was the only one in my school

all my responses for that paper were so messy and unstructured tbh. And with the hazard 20 marker i basically only spoke about the australian wildfires in 2019 and nothing else oops
i completely forgot was isostatic change was...lol. other than that i thought the exam was okay, bit worried about how they will figure out the grade boundaries from only 380 students taking it...
