so hard...
There were no case studies except for a 2 marker in the sections I did arggghhhh lmao
It was a very odd paper. I did questions 1, 3 and 7 and it really was strange. First of all, where were all the case studies? That needs to be answered. Anyway, the paper was definitely different to past papers but it was doable and I think I've done okay.

i was annoyed no case studies came up
Did 1, 5 and 7. Quite a strange paper - very few case studies. Luckily a lot of the exam was to my strengths (monitoring volcanoes, 3 and 4 marker on hydrographs). Let's hope for low boundaries!
I did questions 1, 4 and 5. Same for me, there were practically no case studies, apart from a 3 marker "tsunami" question.
Spent ages memorising case studies, used 1 of them on a 3 mark answer. wtf aqa

I found it pretty weird, i did water on the land, what do you guys put for the 8 marker on sustainable water usage, I put about deficit and surplus but most people in my school talked about Three Gorges Dam? Not really sure.

Ok can someone go through the 8 markers for the test for Restless Earth, Ice and Water On Land? I failed them completely and feel like THE SKETCH MAP FOR THE ICE GLACIER WAS HORRENDOUS

I think he's referring to Q1 where they asked about how a tsunami is formed.

I did 1, 5 and 7. 5 was definitely the worst of the three for me.

1, 4, 7 (restless earth, living world, coast)
Pretty easy tbh. I did restless earth, ice on land and coastal erosion. Most of the case studies came up so it was good. Restless earth is the easiest imo.
