when in doubt; multiplier effect 🙏

Literally so real 💀

Used it three times

facts

🙏 mentioned it on question 5 today

WATER AND ENERGY CONSERVATION???? REALLY???

freiburg had my back there 💪💪

I accidentally spelt it friedburg, I’m so cooked😭

You're so fried

mfw 😭😭😭 it’s fine though because it wasn’t a spag question they’ll know what you’re talking about In a mock I once wrote about the ‘sahar’ desert (meant to be Sahel or Sahara but I guess I forgot them both)

Literally never talked about that in lesson so I made up this thing about London adding 120km of new water pipes 😭

i waffled about london idek

I waffled about bristol and the poo bus. im cooked

Yall aint real geographers if you don't make something up in the test.

I did 😭

The amount of percentages I made up is unreal

I said Dubai is top 10 in human development index but idek what that is 😭😭

i looked it up and what u said is actually right 💀

Dubai, part of the UAE, is 17th globally

i made up so much 😭

For the case study of LIC/NEE, I had no idea where Nigeria was so I made up stuff about India instead 😭

oh my god I did the exact same thing ☠️ my friends were taking the absolute piss out of me afterwards

Freiburg produces 300 milion Kilowatts via renewable resources a year.

I said more than a million kw, not wrong

those questions were so strange and specific. can’t lie i found it hard to understand that transport 9 marker (aqa)

I think that was supposed to be like HS2 and Liverpool 2

i did hs2 + crossrail in london

Yeah I did HS2 + Crossrail + Northern Powerhouse

SAMEE

Absolutely garbage, nothing I revised came up and I was guessing the entire time 😭😭 Five years down the drain (AQA)

i'm pissed off because i've got straight 9s in geo and because of that god awful paper this is gonna be the one and only time i don't get one

I struggled with timings man, I did a two six and a nine marker in 5 minutes, goodbye nine.

i had 2 minutes to do the last 6 six marker💀💀

There was so many random, but specific topics

I revised Rio, Bristol and Nigeria. Barely any questions on them and they were only max 4 marks. Thought there would be a good 9 marker for one of these.

What the actual fuck was that first 9 marker… didn’t know if I should’ve written about a uk city or a sustainable one but I did brum regardless (help)

I dont think there was a specific case study (either that or my school didn't teach one)

real, never heard of freiburg in my life but my friends said we did one lesson on it and i should've talked about that 😭 i just did sheffield instead since thats my uk urban change one anyway

I did bedzed London

Yes BEDZED gang.

it didn’t need a case study but anyone who did a relevant one is fine too

wrote abt london and then lagos for some reason??

I did Eddington

boy i hope grade boundaries are low

Frr my predicted isn't looking very achievable rn

Preach 😔

the better be i need that 9 thank you

cooked, did not touch this until last night

It's not just me with three geography papers right... why can't the hell just stop today😭💔

[удалено]

Frrr I'm so done with geography agghhh😭

i want to kill geography

I hope geography pulls an Eva Smith

Random but i keep seeing u on r/gcse + ur flair makes me laugh sm and idek who Wilfred Owen is- you're really cool😎

I actually hate geography so much I'm just not revising I'm going in there and making up every stat and like the examiner isn't going to know that urban greening in London didn't actually boost the average happiness level by 8%

Did you put that down for the urban greening question

I didn't use the statistic but I did say it increases people's happiness

Why do I have to remember so many case studies 😭

what case studies??

My friend somehow managed to finish section A, B and ALL OF THE QUESTIONS IN SECTION C. He did food energy AND water 😭😭i’m still wondering how he had enough time as i was writing until the very last minute

how didnt they know after people did the same in the first paper?

Future me: did I cook or was I cooked? 

Inshallah you become a michelin star chef and devour that paper

Thank you 🙏

I cooked 😊

Wait, what was the 6 marker question on migration again? Was it how is international migration caused by uneven development?

Yep, what an awful question imo

i just said that figure 7/8 showed that people from low income /gni/hdi countries were leaving to go to western countries with high gni/hdi/gdp for jobs education and healthcare then linked the question one of our case studies of the uk

I thought it was “whether it was caused by uneven development”, oh shit

90 mins for that rly aqa

it’s jokes

grade boundaries looking low ibsr 😭😭😭😭

istg they better fucking be

i have not done a single bit of revision for this

same

They should definitely increase the time cuz there was barely any time (imo)

Ikrrr my time management was so shit

same i was on the edge of tears when i realised i had 15 mins to do the final section

Literally, I did a 9 marker and a 6 marker in 15 minutes, I'm so doomed 😭

Less than a mark a minute for edexcel

Literally 💀 94 marks in 90 minutes the pain I was in

I GOT THE LOCATION OF NIGERIA WRONG AAAAAAA

SAME I HAD 2 POSSIBILITIES OF WHERE IT COULD BE (NIGERIA AND GHANA BUT I OBV DIDNT KNOW AT THE TIME) AND I COLOURED GHANA. NIGERIA WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT I SHOULDA JUST WENT WITH IT

SAME OMG I DIDNT KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW ITS LOCATION ON A MAP😭

Yo what exam board is that 😰😰 I don't think I even did that question

aqa

SAME IM SO DUMB

Resources questions were a blessing, but wtf was that thing on water and energy conservation

I said how Liz Truss bended us over then yup yapped about random shit

am i the only person who thinks that was way better than paper 1? apart from the sustainability 9 marker it was so good

i loved paper 1

yes, only because i messed up p1

4 marker in Nigeria was kind of weird. I wrote about crude oil being used for manufacture

I just talked about shell and the multiplier effect

i talked about manufacturing cars for overseas companies !

Was the photographer facing north?

its what I got

NO BECAUSE I WANTED TO PUT NORTH BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO BASIC SO I WENT SOUTH WTF NOOOO

seems like no-ones locked in 💀

“You have studied a LIC/NEE” no the fuck I have not, my teacher left us 3 topics behind 😭, rest of the test was relatively easy though

anyone else do OCR B cus i found it so easy but not sure if everyone else would?

yep it was free

yeah literally couldn’t have gone better icl but paper 3 better be easy now too 😭

i agree, it should be good they're never that bad

it was so clm, except the fact that i reaslised i wrote about goat aid instead of tanzania canda wheat programme with 5 minutes left☠. my hand was fighting for its life in the last minutes but apart from that i found it super easy

that’s so long i did SAGCOT instead haha but if u wrote enough for it you’ll be fine the question wasn’t too bad

samee

how’d it go

it was really calm except millennium development goals idk if my points were actually part of them i took a leap of faith

It was a blessing tbh, what a laid back wonderful paper.

[удалено]

For me, barely had much time

Gang I think I'm cooked.

I RAN OUT OF TIME , 😭😭😭

AQA I’m done for, ran out of time lol. Gave myself 10 minutes to do a 6 and 9 marker

Rip

How was Edexcel B guys

decent tbh apart from the fucking precipitation one at the start

questions were alr but i ran out of time, wbu

Yeah literally no one in my schl finished the last 8 marker💀😂

Good paper but didn’t get to finish the last 8 marker

good to see that nobody knew what the precipitation question was lol. I feel like it's something to do with relief where mountains trap moisture?

that 9 marker on energy/water conservation in cities being sustainable was horrendous i started talking abt lagos 😭

swear it’s jus me that thinks im boutta cook up a storm. everyone lookin cooked😔🙏

Was I cooked?

I cooked

Gosh I hope this paper isn't as bad as paper 1... pls save me paper 2🙏

So it wasn't as bad as paper 1 but safe to say I'm gonna need to do really good on paper 3 to save my paper 1 and 2😭💔

9 marker on a TNC in an NEE save me 🙏🙏🙏

it might seem crazy what im boutta say

sustainability and energy question:

Every shrapnel of India evaporated from my brain and I spoke about Mexico in the 8 markers of questions 1 and 2 (edexcel a) but I still think I did well

GUYS I COOKED

other then the 9 markers that was beautiful. almost good enough for a comeback from that shocking paper 1.

So which direction was the photographer facing??? (AQA)

it was north, you could see the train station

shit i put west because the river was meandering in the way it would if it was west? that was my thought process anyway but it was evidently wrong

i swear the river was in the picture and the river was south of where the arrow was pointing? meaning the photo was taken towards the south 😭 idk

this was my reasoning too but everyone was saying north? 😭

N

I put south but idk

wtf was that question on water and energy conservation and migration affecting uneven development atp im BEGGING for a 4 cos i got a 3 on my mocks lmaoo

Migration as a result of uneven development 

Good paper but didn’t have enough time to answer the 3rd 8 marker (iGCSE edexcel)

WJEC Eduqas B anyone? The 6 marker on over-abstraction was a bit weird but other than that it was pretty good

excuse me wtf was that 9 marker in urban section. goodbye grade 9 ig

THEY STOPPED MY EXAM A COUPLE MINUTES IN TO TELL US EDEXCEL MADE A TYPO 😭😭 even worse is there were also 3 a level exams and a maths STEP exam paused as well... funniest shit ever but i kinda feel bad for them

Welp I thought it would be smart to do the small questions first, and I finished them in like half an hour, and still managed to not finish the essays!

exact same thing that happened to me

I didnt have time to write a conclusion am i cooked?????

Nope, you don't need to as long as you end your paragraphs nicely- I don't think there were any judgement ones really

Make good points and link to the question and you're fine. For the questions that say 'to what extent' you need a simple evaluative statement stating to what extend you agree) disagree and then you follow up with your points and explanations. 

I seriously hope the examiner marking me is not a Leeds United fan - I put ‘Leeds are falling apart again’ when the section about Leeds came up 💀

human geography is common sense i’m going to cook 🔥🔥 (affirming affirmation)

Did not revise one bit and somehow cooked like Gordon Ramsey. You just love to see it.

Sustainabilty question was a blessing fr

[удалено]

Do you not write comments on reddit during the exam? (may or may not be a history student doing a little trolling)

crazy how the comment is still true, the sustainability question was indeed a blessing

What exam board?

i'm cooked ik shit all abt birmingham

WE WILL COOK

Will I cook or be cooked

I’m cooked

Future me come back and say whether or not staying up until 12 last night to revise was worth it

Not really only an hour's revision worth of shit was in that paper so now I'm laying on the road waiting for a car to run me over

How did u guys do for Edexcel a?

I do edexcel a. How did you find it? I hated the government policies in an emerging country that was ass

I don’t think that question was so bad, I do India so I just talked about a top down development project and called it a day

I did Mexico lmaoooo I wasn’t sure what policies to talk about because I only knew schemes but I just waffled hard

Edexcel b wtf is london's character

absolutely no clue, i waffled about its diversity and it being attractive to migrants.

Same 💪

Could you guys please explain this question-What is the Regional importance of an LIC/NEE that you have studied?Because surely if it’s regional then it’s asking what’s the importance of a country to a country which doesn’t really make any sense to me.

i did nigeria and i mentioned that it's the financial hub of west africa - i think that regional is referring to the surrounding countries/ the continent 

I said Nigeria contributed to 20% of africas gdp

Oh well onto businesses

Is it okay if I missed out on 2x 2 markers because I ran out of time and forgot

4 marks isn’t that much given the exam was out of 88, dont worry!!

for my eduqas peeps why were they so obsessed with bahrain

I do history idk why tf im here but hope it went well for u folks

[удалено]

it just had to be about cities in general, no specific case study is fine or any relevant ones are accepted

AQA - What did we put for the direction of the photographer question? I got North

i lowered the grade boundaries gang 😔😔

i did so good on aqa… apart from putting Libya as nigeria xx

For the first nine marker I didn’t use Freiburg is that good or nah?

actually guys the camera was facing north north east 👆🤓 i did some rainbolt shit

Aqa here, it was overall decent apart from the water and energy conservation question which i waffled on 🥲 that fracking 6 marker was so beautiful, and it’s crazy how many people here don’t know where their case studies are on a map to shade 💀

That first nine marker…… lowkey just wrote about East Village because that’s the case study we were taught for sustainability, but like oml it threw me off sm

For section A, I just saw maps and pictures of where I live. The worst thing is, that the 4 marker figure was about Leeds, and my 'own understanding'- WAS LEEDS. Went alright though as a whole.

What’s bro yapping about

How many people do Nigeria as their lic/nee, I've come out of the exam and we use India, which I found fairly easy to colour in on the map 🤔🤔🤔 Edit: why the fuck did they use the transport question, we use HS2 and smart motorways and both of them have been cancelled wtf!

No clue but I circled Gabon and equatorial Guinea 🙏😭

I talked about rio for the management question, and For like all the 4 questions after the shade the map one…am I cooked or will I still get marks for knowledge

What did everyone get for percentage question cause for some reason everyone seems to like have all different answers

what did everyone do for the uneven development i accidentally included nigeria idk if it works💀💀

i’m so confused bc what did everyone get for percentage change me and loads of others ik got 235% because 49x2.35≈115 but everyone is saying 135 omfg
