Actually enjoyed paper 2.

Got all excited cause the Population question was about Malawi and am from there:P then my friends were all like Yo MJ did u see the population question? haha :P

But i did hydrosphere and industry. Overall i think i did okay:smile:)

How did everyone else find it?


And you didn't even do the population question!!!

they probably won't, you don't get any appeals for extenuating circumstances. They'll be reporting it because you were able to chat to each other outside/you left exam conditions


Aww man, I thought maybe we could push our luck and say it interrupted us haha. We definitely weren't allowed to talk about the exam anyway, suppose there's no way of proving that though :/
I bullet pointed some of my answers because I ran out of time, will I be penalised heavily for this?

In paper 2 I did rural land degradation. A question asked for solutions in North America and Africa . I didn't realise and answered all 20 marks on one area . How many marks will I loose? Apart from that pretty decent paper
What grade do I need to get in order to do this at Advanced Higher? (I've already chosen it, I just hope I still get to do it)

I think it depends on what your school say but probably an A or B

You can write in bullet points if you write in sentences and it reads like it would in a paragraph but see if you bullet point like one or two word answers, our teacher said you get heavily penalised. Don't know how true it is though.
How do you explain the human causes of global warming in the Atmosphere question? :confused: Cause I think I just did the description part...
For the first population question, I only did 2 marks worth of description and 6 marks of explaination. Will I get marks taken off for not enough description?

You basically just say "Methane is a greenhouse gas (description). Methane is released by digestive system of cows (explanation). Methane is released by paddy fields (explanation). Paddy fields on the rise due to rapid growth of ELDC's (explanation) sort of thing :smile:

You would probably get a maximum of 12 marks for fully discussing one of them :smile: my solutions were severely imbalanced - I did about 2 for Africa and the rest were on America. Oops
