i was just wondering would it count as putting down 4 points though?


It shouldn't do. Just like English when you make your point, use evidence to back it up then after you start rambling on a bunch of emotions and deepful feelings from that one line that could easily link off into something else

(^I didn't end with any punctuation as I felt either the full stop or the exclamation mark would be too harsh or give off the wrong emotions)

Also, sorry for not replying asap - I couldn't answer at first (and second) glance.

So I did the q6 case study and I talked about coca cola in India, with at least 3 developed points. But not many people seemed to think it was this one. Anybody know if this is right, and how many marks I may have lost if wrong?

Tbh like tons of people in my school got like near 58 in the cw and a lot got 60 and they were not very smart. I just think OCR arent bothered so teachers take advantage of it.

I also talked about the dorset coastline headland landform, i mentioned how a cove, arch, stack and stump form and stuff but i didn't mention the names of them except durdle door :/ do you think that matters?


I think you should have had a few more place specific detail to get full marks (e.g. Old Harry, Old Harry's wife, Handfast Point, Purbeck coastline of Dorset) but I'm sure you've got at least 6 or 7 out 8. I know it's out of 11 in total including spelling, punctuation and grammar but I'm just taking the content which was out of 8, mainly because I don't know what your grammar was like.
And also, because it was a harder question to get a lot of place specific detail in, they may be more lenient :smile: I know a lot of people who did rivers had basically no place specific detail.

Oh phew! Similar to what I wrote but with Haiti :wink:


Yeh I tried to pin point other factors that provided hindrance other than money. Obviously my answers adresses that fact that these could be addressed with investment but each provide their own individual hinderance/ problem with regards to coping with a future disaster.

I think I flopped this, even though I revised a lot for it.

I want a solid B in this exam, and this paper was out of 84 (Themes paper). Can someone give me a rough estimation of what it would take to get a B in this paper.

I think I did much better in the SDME paper.

For a B last year, it was 61%. Since this year was easier I would say about 65%. This equates, with the new SPAG marks, to 55/84.

Yeah it wasn't that bad a paper. Case Studies should've been a little better in my opinion. Otherwise, I've got an A in the CA, and hope to get an A/A* in SDME. Hopefully that should equate to a B overall, although I genuinely want an A, to prove that I am capable of doing A Level Geography.

I re-sat mine, because I got an appalling, below-par D last year (Ageing Population - did not revise so the result reflected by work). This year's issue (All Shook Up - Earthquakes) was much more interesting than last year's and I hope that I got a very good grade this year, as I genuinely believe that I've put in 1000 times more effort into Geography this year than last year.

Then again, last summer's SDME was also interesting, and I think that if I'd have put in more effort, then I would've obtained a good grade. However, that's just the fine line between laziness and hard work.

Yeah i didn't particularly like last years. I got 52 but was kinda hoping for an A* in it. Although this exam seemed pretty good and the coursework went well.
