AQA Geography A-level 7037 - 04 & 08 Jun 2018 [Exam discussion]

Any guesses on the grade boundaries for the NEA - I got 41 out of 60, just needa know what that is...

Any guesses on the grade boundaries for the NEA - I got 41 out of 60, just needa know what that is...

I reckon:

90% - A*
84% - A
75% - B
67% - C
55% - D

I think the 20 markers in the topics I did (WC, Coasts, Hazards) were gorgeous, over the moon that they came up 😍 they were worded really weird though... took me a while to condense my information but they had loads of opportunities for synopsis which was great 👍 9 markers on hazards? Ehh okay... primary and secondary impact question was the easier of the two imo, meant I was able to talk about the ash cloud at Ejyafjyajokull that I wanted to talk about so bad 😂 hazards 6 marker? Ew, absolutely hated it 😂 the rest of the paper was kinda good, didn’t answer coasts 4 marker on barrier beaches as I didn’t have time but I wasn’t too fussed on that

are you kidding???? that 20 marker was so bad!! how do humans CAUSE hazards??

i did. Started having a panic attack realising I had 45 minutes to do 2 6 markers, 2 9 markets and a 20

Ahhh for Hazards 20 marker I attempted to manipulate the question and went down the route of how human activity causes disasters to be more hazardous in nature lol... hopefully the Philippines will get me some marks.

The questions I remember:

Water and Carbon
1.1 Outline the role of cryospheric change in the water cycle.
1.2 can't remember the questions but it was two images, one showing sea level 10,000 years ago and one showing present sea level
1.3
1.4 Something about the causes and impacts of change in the water budget for a named tropical region.

Coasts
2.1 Outline the formation of a barrier beach.
2.2 Using the figure (Iran Bay) analyse the movement of sediment (?).
2.3 Using both figures and your own knowledge, assess the difficulties in international agreements to lower GHG emissions (?)/
2.4 To what extent are the processes of weathering and erosion more important in shaping coastal landforms than human activity? (something like that!)

Hazards:
3.1 Analyse the data shown (caldera and graph).
3.2 To what extent are secondary impacts from volcanic events more dangerous in the long term than primary impacts?
3.3 To what extent do exogenous factors impact a region's ability to respond to tropical storm events? (I think?)
3.4 Something about human activity being a more significant cause of natural disasters than physical factors.
