Um I put that the national trust owns the land. For the ones where you have to say what A, B, and C are I remember a really weird name for the valley for A, the A5 for B but I couldn't actually see a building anywhere for C lol.
I can't really remember anything else but I do remember that the cross section was impossible.

I put A is Yr Haford (or something like that), B is A5 and C is a public convenience

I think I put a tributary, or a river, a picnic site, and something else. Basically a load of rubbish :frown:

I didn't think it was clear- it completely confused me because the cross section seemed to cross over loads of different things :frown:

this is just depressing me now I hope the next two exams aren't as bad

Definitely. I don't even know what I got for my coursework so I'm basically praying for a miracle in these next two exams. Geography was the worst mistake of my life :frown:

Yeah that is really high :frown:

Yeah same. It was such a dull piece of coursework. And really long as well. But I'm just gonna forget about unit 1 and just focuson the next two. I know the grade boundaries are usually higher for them too :frown:

I got full marks in my coursework and am predicted an A* but yesterdays Unit 1 exam was so difficult. I found that even the Challenges for the Planet section was quite different and strangely worded to past papers, and the map work was really difficult. I got really confused with the cross section. How did you guys describe the valley?

I found the geography exam hard and the six markers were difficult i did not know what a sit was so i left the entire question out stupid me?
i REALLY HOPE THE GRADE BOUNDARIES ARE LOW BECAUSE I GOT A U IN MY MOCK AND I HAD REVISED HARD SINCE!
