AS Edexcel Geography Unit 1 12th May 2015

Ah yes now I realised I put 138 and 1912. Although I might have put 136 but I'm pretty sure I put those.

You shouldn't be, I re-sat unit 1 this year because last's year paper was horrible.
But UNIT 2 nearly all of us in our class got an A, it is easier. Also on 1 question I made all the data up and i got 9/10

Unofficial grade boundaries

- Generally the exam was seen to be easier than previously years, namely 2014.
- Most people found the fair trade 5 marker, and the 4 marker on 'iHub' the most challenging in section A.
- Many people struggled to identify two natural causes of short term climate change.
- Question 7 was the most popular question in section B.
- Question 10 was the most avoided question in section B.

A - 67 (64-69)
B - 61 (57-62)
C - 56 (54-57)
D - 51 (48-52)
E - 47 (44-49)

I checked my revision notes and the answers were Volcanic Eruptions and something to do with Solar Output and how the Earth orbits the sun???

I think it will definitely matter because the question specifically asked for the impact on host countries.

I named the UK hosting Polish/EU migrants and I also named Spain hosting UK pensioners who have migrated.

I just found a really helpful revision guide on my computer for the unit 2 (GEO2) exam on Friday (I got a high A in it last year) with case studies and general info, also some examiners tips etc. If anybody wants it, drop me a message and Ill send it to you

could you please send me the unit 2 revision notes? Thank youuuu ))))

Yeah i put floods and landslides too!

what did you put for the population graph? i said increased for both?

I didn't think it had anything to do with the tipping point as it said human activities and how it contibuted to the enhanced greenhouse effect. so enviromental degradation less carbon sinks, more demand for transport meaning more fossil feuls burned, and more up and coming NIC which means more industry so more fossil feuls burned and so2 causes degradation. I think thats it IDK

What did everybody put for the effects of 'locally purchased products' on African farmers??

Wow well done! Im really bad at coasts though I don't understand the questions half the time.

Do you have any tips?

Also the answer for the short term thing was volcanic activity and sunspots. I made a bunch of notes off of mark schemes and I remember for sunspots they wrote that it is an 11 year cycle linked to short term climate change - edexcels words.
