National 5 Geography 2017/2018

Can't believe its tomorrow!!
Land conflict is fine with tourists v farmers and tourists v locals but does anyone know if there's any arguments without tourists? My friend says there's locals v industry and locals v farming but I've never heard of those. Any help?

This is going to sound smug but... I'm not nervous. I've asked my family not to discuss it around me. I've revised everything and it's probably my best subject - definitely not feeling the same way for maths though

Good luck for tomorrow everyone! Try and get a decent nights sleep if you can, and just do your best! :smile:

You get conflict between quarry’s(industry’s) and residents. making too much noise, ruining the landscape and spreading dust everywhere

How did you all find the exam this afternoon?

It was not bad! Harder than the 2017 past paper, however. Glad it's over tbh, I hate remebering all the points for geog

Hardest paper yet seems to be the general opinion , especially surrounding a question that was cut out of the course about vegetation in rainforest and tundra (check twitter, people are annoyed) - even our teachers were angry and shocked. But overall, I thought it was a really good paper, probably because geography is my strongest subject. I only got the vegetation question because I've done related stuff in biology surrounding wind pollination and adaption

i thought the paper was alright apart from the last question. my teacher kept saying before it will either be causes, effects and solutions yet they asked us about vegetation. i think i’ve got a few marks from guessing like the fan plant was to wash rain off the plant. our teachers we pretty angry since they had taken it off the course but hopefully they’ll change the pass mark.

I think it went pretty well! There were a couple of questions I hadn't revised well enough for, but apart from that it was good.

I say we start a petition about vegetation in the geography paper

It will not make any difference, other than reducing your revision time for your next exam.

my mind went blank on the supermarket question. i had revised advantages and disadvantages for out of town shopping centres so i used some of those points like cheaper land. i was so happy it was a spit as that isn’t what i revised the most. anyone know when the paper goes on the website?

It usually varies. Should definitely be there by some point in August (maybe September), but some years some of the papers appear during summer. It's very unlikely it will be in the immediate weeks though.

same!! I said :
- cheap land
- near houses so local customers
- near main road for easy access
- steep land could be difficult to build on
- national trail nearby could see it as sight pollution
- building affects nearby wildlife in non-coniferous wood with noise pollution etc

all i wrote was cheaper land so they can buy more, less pollution because it’s far away from the CBD and there isn’t any public transport near so would only attract customers that could drive. i was way too tired by this point.

Wow! Geography is my best subject but I found that today was quite hard! What did you you put for the social and economic factors question?
