AQA GCSE Geography A Official Thread

Actually, the question asked you to look inside the insert where you found a picture of a man and tents in front of a mountain in the Andes ( it was covered it snow). The question then asked you to explain why extreme environments are attractive to tourists.

It showed a pic of Alps and you had to explain what makes it an extreme environemnt

I was trying to explain it in more detail to jog their memory.

Anyone know what the grade boundaries are for an A* roughly? On aqa last year, they said it was 67% but someone who took the exam last year said it was more like 90%?

For the Changing Urban Environments question I think many people used Curitiba. But it said a richer country and I think Curitiba is classed as an LEDC. So the correct case study to use was any citychallenge project which for me was Sheffield UDC or Hulme city challenge. But if you wrote about how Curitiba is environmentally sustainable you should get credited.

I wrote about London transport and how it reduces air pollution. Is that alright? We never learnt about that Sheffield thing though and we had a list of every case study

I did the same but i found the case studies hard what did u put for urban environments

AND NO PHYSICAL WAS WAYYYYY EASIER - i aced it

Different views for different people.

I think the case study was talking about Urban issues in MEDCs, so I talked about the UK a lot, and how to solve the problems, by using examples from the UK.

Good i put the same thing

Do you think the grade boundaries for Human will be similar to last year?

I think so my teacher said it wasnt an awfull exam but there were some very hard questions. Physcial grade boundries will drop he said
