Higher Geography 2009 & POST EXAM DISCUSSION

nice predictions eh!? haha... every seen like 100 students practically bow down to a teacher for thier greatness (:
only thing is i wish we could have had more time!!! i had to miss a full industry section in the first paper, and in the second a 10 mark question and half of another... RRR. hope it doesn't reflect badly (:

I had this problem as well. Missed 18 marker on Paper 1, a 6 marker on Paper 2 and only had a half answer for the Primary Health Care question. I think the break in between papers could be a bit longer, my thumb was aching after 30 minutes on Paper 2.

One of my Geography teachers told me before the hols that she was marking the papers for this year and two people had 100% so far.

Just, FYI.

Yep you might have to describe the pattern of ocean currents in the Atlantic/Pacific and yeah unfortunately you might have to write about as much as the model answer suggests. Sorry
It's hard to tell what will come up but it won't be a simple question about global warming cos that was last year, so it might be ocean circulation /atmospheric cells - learn these if you can.
The hydrological cycle will almost certainly NOT be there because it was last year. Will probably be river features.

Dorset/ Cairngorms - I guess you're talking about RLR. It could be either and is more often upland areas (cairngorms) and a glaciation question is very likely. However glaciation could be in paper 1 and then it could be a coastal area. Learn both, you really can't tell.

The only very likely things to come up are;
River features
Glaciation (either paper)
Soils not sand dunes
