i found it really good, apart from the 9+3 marker which threw me off a little because i was expecting that to be a case study question, but i think i managed to get 60+ marks

Same
The coasts and rivers questions were really nice. IDK why they made opportunities in deserts come up twice in a ROW!!! AQA????
I hated the question and know I lost marks of the big questions
The 1 markers were nice
I don't know how aqa expects us to write so much especially after another exam
