GCSE EDEXCEL GEOGRAPHY PAPER 3H 2nd June 2009

How did everyone find the paper today.
I thought it was pretty easy, nice case studies and no real shock questions.
I think paper 4 will be hard though

Yeah, it was quite easy, I just run out of time and didn't get to finish it properly - lots of other people said they rushed it too. Did you find time a problem? Really nervous about the other paper :l need to do some serious revision! x

I found the paper okay...but apparently I have lost 4 marks because of the transnational industries....I chose Fiat, Brazil...but people were saying it was Bracknell?
By any chance do you remember the questions for all three case studies?

Bracknell: location of high tech industry and factors making it go to that place
Reading: Housing and INdustry zones characteristics
PnG: Sustainable development in rainforest

NO it is not Fiat it was bracknell because Hi-tech industry. it was specific but dont worry it was 4/84 marks and you may get a few

I thought it was pretty okay, however I know I have lost 6 marks as I didn't finish the last question, and niether did I do the stupid graph in which you had to complete.

yeah i hate wet rice farming. the map was ridiculous. That family: a bit crazy and certainly OTT. The country one went in order plymouth, frankfurt, kiev/krakow cant remeber which one was first with kiev or krakow but the order of the temperatures it went in winter 6,0,-5,-7 so you just put them in order. The further the country away from the sea the colder.
the two bodies of water were ----- tarn and Edgleware lake or something like that.

yeah, i'm also hoping for an A*, and i already got A* in my coursework. i worked it out, and i still think i got about 83% - if i got questions 1-5 correct - i left most of question 6 :frown:

oh, i did the graph but i haven't seem once like it before - was quite easy to complete aswell! :smile:

I heard from others that they put for Fiat as well..they said it could be because the question said..or an industrialised area
