I thought the questions were harder than previous years but the case studies were ok (at least the population one was)
I thought theme 3 questions were difficult

So do i. Population was easy, weather and climate just the same (because I revised it). I had to invent some stuff for theme 3 on agriculture and energy, but I hope it goes unnoticed. I am praying for an a star.

Geography wasn't too bad imo.
What questions did everyone do?
I struggled with theme 3 - specifically the 5 marker on question 6 about why conservation is important (paraphrasing). I know its common sense but I just went so blank
I hope Friday's paper is easy. Anyone know how to revise for the skills paper?

I've found some good tips about how to answer the questions on Friday's paper but otherwise it's just analysing and using maps

Would be great to hear how the one on Friday goes as well (helps me know what kind of mark I could be expecting based on grade boundaries)

I found the case studies okay. I did question 1 and Tanzania; question 3 and Felixstowe; question 5 and Nike. The coastal erosion one I had absolutely no idea on it at all, so I made one up.
