AQA GCSE Geography Paper 1 (8035/1) - 22nd May 2023 [Exam Chat]

no the answer is 8800

I kinda forgot what estuaries were but I said the same thing just less technical.

There are flat banks
Marsh-like land has formed

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

I GOT THAT YAY. It was in-between the two and I was like hmm I'm just gonna do the middle value. So glad I did

lmao technically ur not wrong, although I’m pretty sure conflict is on spec for glaciers only aha

How did people find it?

Just said:

There are stacks and stumps

The cliff edge looks jagged

Got noo clue tho. Wb the estuaries one

For some reason I really struggled with time (wasn't the only one either in my school).

First mistake was leaving the bigger questions till last. Second was not remembering which questions I had to go back to. I flip a page to a completely empty 9 marker for deserts only to look up to see that I have 5 mins left. *panic*. Fastest nine marker of my life. My hand was in severe pain.

All in all however, a pretty decent paper. I think I answered every question lmao.

me too oh my gosh, I scrambled to finish the last question on glaciers and that was 6 marks. probably not going to get more than 3 or 4 but I'm glad it wasn't a 9-mark question (sorry that you had a 9 marker).

You know to be honest it was really easy but i'm kinda annoyed about the question where it told us to describe the tectonic plate because we couldn't even fit a cast study to get the top marks

what did everyone write for the q in the coasts section: how do the 2 figures show erosion has happen and it was an extract for the os map and a picture of some stacks

Hi guys, for 1 of the 1 markers I shaded in the answer I thought was correct. After reconsidering my answer, I scribbled out the box containing my old answer and shaded in the new box. Will I be penalised for this? Thank you for answering

Omg yeah same my hand was literally starting to cramp and I just abt finished but my last answer was iffy

i left the first nine marker until last literally never have enough time in geog. and we were stopped twice during the exam bruh

Brooo innit the source itself said nothing bad, I kinda waffled icl. I said hard engineering technique channel straightening may protect valuable areas by increasing water flow, but all it does is increase flood risk further downstream. I said dams / reservoirs often destroy wildlife and habitat, disrupting ecosystems. For reservoirs to be constructed farmland on floodplains may be flooded, killing livestock and damaging wildlife. Floodplain zoning ensures high value land kept away from rivers, but floodplain zoning may mean that no flood defences can be set up, which means higher risk of floods. Again I kinda waffled
