essays were sooo easy. m/c were just ok, but what was with the short answers, they were quite impossible, especially that shading one.

thought it was pretty good overall, I LOVED HOW THE SCALES WE'RE 1:1KM BEST EVER!. what did everyone get for the VE i got 5 times. THe precis map was easy once your orientated source C to D and looked at what land had changed between 1996 and 2006, so it was ok. For the ecosystem short answer i put coral reefs and economic enterprise i did the hotel.

I thought the exam was easy, but it was a very long exam - I couldn't write as much as I wanted to for the extended responses cause the short answers took as a massive amount of time.

All in all - looking for B5. Which is disappointing, given i have averaged mid b6 thru the year.

Oh damn I think I might have got the ecosystem wrong. I put the Arabian Gulf and The Sailing Club as the enterprise.

VE = 12.5 for me.

The ecosystems are risk extended response question was exact to a past paper that my class looked at, so that was amazing! The other two were pretty good too. Short answers and multi-choice? Yeah, not so much. I didn't like the stimulus at all and I'm not confident with those sections! It's a shame, half yearly and trial I got 100% for short answer, multi-choice... :( Here's hoping I get my average 16+ for extended responses.
