Think I did badly in my Geography GCSE?

theJordan1998

Ok so I've done both geography papers, I don't think I've done horribly but not brilliant. My exam board is CCEA in Northern Ireland My controlled assessment was poor for what I was expecting. I really want to do A Level Geography but I need a B to do so. I'm really worried in case I don't get a B, any words of advice to help me cope?

everyone always thinks that they have done worse then they actually have, especially when you keep thinking back on it. the best thing to do is to just forget about it and focus on other exams :smile:

i did the geography exams as well, why do you think they went so bad? :smile:

I always seem to know that the answer is one or the other, and I know how to explain the answer. But I always choose the wrong one :frown:

I realised I messed up a few 6 markers when talking to my friends after

You may still have got a few marks though in the six markers, maybe just not all of them. How'd you find the case study questions? :smile:

I thought the case studies were quite easy on the first paper as I learnt them off by heart but I wasn't as confident with the case studies on the second paper :smile:

For the key themes exam i used China's one child policy, walton on the naze for coastal management and hurricane sandy in the caribbean. I think allot of the case studies are different though :smile:

Even if you get a c and show passion in the subject you will probably still be likely to be able to do it for a level, especially if there isnt enough for a full class. I say the grade boundaries will be upscaled, the last question would have thrown a lot of people off and many didn't complete it, in my year anyway, so don't worry about your grade you've probably done better than what you think.
