AS AQA Geography GEOG1 12th May 2015

I think I did that one completely wrong too! I didn't quote any figures from the table and all I wrote about was how the DTM didn't fit some less developed countries and why and then at the end I just said that the UK fitted it well

I think I've completely messed that up as well! I didn't think of referring to any countries/figures on the board and I just wrote generally why it didn't fit LEDCs because it was eurocentric! Will I still get some
marks for that?

I found the 7 mark question on comment on the dtm question hard!

What was the second question on rivers about???? How water leaves a channel what!!! I wrote about evaporation, abstraction and vegetation storage??
Also, I screwed up on the 6 marker on regional health, didn't have much time. What have the grade boundaries been like before?

I wrote about international migration on the migration one. Scareddddd

Oh, wow! That's smart! (the rivers one)

I just wrote about evaporation, overflowing of the river (floods) and percolation/assimilation away from the river through the river bed and banks v.v I suppose that I messed up? I can't believe I didn't think about human intervention, damn it.

I also wrote about international migration, even though in the introduction I did mention that migration can also be within the same country, and gave the example of rural-urban migration. But then I discounted internal migration for the rest of the 'essay' :/ Didn't have time

I screwed up on that as well. I wrote about it being based on western countries and then how the timescales are flexible and that's it. Bet thats like 1 mark.

I do all the same topics as you, and here are the prdictions for the 15 markers that my teacher has made. He has a list of all the questions that have come up and charts them. He got the 15 marker for coasts, rivers and health right last year.

Rivers; 'How does the cross sectional area of a river change as it moves downstream?'
Coasts: 'With help from a case study, explain the causes and effects of coastal flooding.'
Population: 'With the help from a case study, explain how migration affects both the host country and the source country."
Health: Not sure exactly what will come up, but he's pretty sure that it's going to be something on TNC's, specifically tobacco.

Hope this helps

what was the paper out of again?

Oh well I guess that's 6 marks down the drain! How did you find the rest of the exam? Timing was tricky but I think the rest of the exam went ok - although I found the 15marker in health and rivers harder... Hopefully unit 2 will bring my grade up!

Thats what i did too

Hopefully we can still pick up some marks! I wish it hadn't been a 7 marker though
