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

yeah I also wrote way below the lines, since there’s literally never enough lines! As long as it’s in the box you should be fine is what I was told

UK upland/lowland areas and key river systems
Coastal processes: weathering
Influence of geological structure and rock type on landscapes
Coastal processes: weathering

i think those r things that have never come up so some of them will maybe be in the paper

nah because WHAT was that 9 marker about tectonic plates?? How am i meant to assess it or whatever

I completed the tectonics 9 marker including a case study on the Nepal earthquake, going through how earthquakes and volcanoes are formed at the different boundaries. However, I didn’t specifically say that I was writing that in response to the diagram, so technically I didn’t refer to the figure. Will I be capped for that?

i think you could lose a mark or so but you only had to say 'as shown by figure 6 '
also how did you include the case study in this question?

That’s why I’m so annoyed, forgetting 3 words because I left the question till last and was in a rush could cause me to get capped. I included it by saying that the earthquake was caused by a destructive boundary, and a sudden release of tension between the plates that became stuck resulted in a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

*dont worry the quality of your answer will perhaps give you more marks. they are looking for you to be initiative (being in the thoughtful band) to get the high marks
i revised all the case studies but the questions irked me and i just forgot
-i could have included malaysia as a case study for the tropical rainforessts but i forgot-i was in a rush
also lyme regis and banbury case study for the flood managment+ hard engineering

Wait what was the last question before glaciers, i might have missed it 😭

What was the question but alos yes bc it said use ur own understanding

The one about rivers disadvantages of management strategies ?

Yep missed that

dont stress about it! i skipped 6 marks worth of questions in my mocks (bad time management), and I managed to get an 8. you still have paper 2 and 3 to redeem it if you don't feel the rest of the test went well
