Re: Geography

Exam was reasonable/easy. Expecting at least 85+ raw.

Re: Geography

Pretty easy exam! Definitely got one multiple choice wrong... Worked out the correct answer on the calculator but it was too late!

lol only 3 ppl did it in the hall... so quiet today...

anyways good exam, nailed most of it except the last extended which i always screw up due to time management failure. i was a bit upset because so much of the exam was source-based...

I have the MC questions, stimulus and extended response questions. if anyone wants to ask me anything, just shout out, but i dont have a scanner so consider that.

My MC answers were:
1. C
2. B
3. D
4. D
5. A
6. C
7. C
8. A
9. D

12. A
13. B
14. C
15. D
16. C
17. D
18. C
19. C
20. B

I was unsure for a few of them, so feel free to point out questions that I got wrong i was particularly unsure about Q20.
Also short answer question breakdown was:
21
(a)1 mark local relief
(b)2 marks gradient
(c) 2 marks vertical exagg
22
(a) 6 marks ecosystems management and protection (source-based)
(b) 6 marks biophysical interactions (source-based)
23
(a)4 marks regional centres/small towns
(b) 4 marks megacities growth (source-based)
(c) 4 marks megacities response to challenges (source-based)
24
(a) 2 marks spatial patterns econ. activity
(b) 3 marks impact of econ. activity
(c) 6 marks factors affecting future directions

this is the point i really can't be bothered to post general thought shi, anymore, im so done with the hsc, give me my state rank already.

hahahahahahaha

dw, my 4u knowledge, simple division.

lol yeh noone else cares about it except me it seems hahaha

I f ed up my Urban Dynamics one but otherwise it was good

expecting 90ish raw

5. I had B. High pressure cell movement is anti-clockwise. So following the direction of the cell, it was west.
20. I had D. Largest scale is the greatest distance with which 1cm is equal to?

Dame, i made a silly on 17, didn't read 'combined' so I subtracted them.

Are you sure 5 is B? The wind is blowing westwards from the arrow, but it is called an Easterly

dame...fair point raised

dame...fair point raised

yeh, as for 20, it should be B or C im pretty sure.

Overall I think it was a nice paper, certainly easier than I was expecting.

I am pretty sure I got 17/20 for multiple choice. Not too bad but could have got better. I had a 50/50 chance of getting the cadastral/choropleth one and I chose cadastral... bloody hell.

The short answer was better than I thought it would be and I managed to predict the last essay on the enterprise perfectly

A few questions:

Was the local relief 150m?

Was the gradient 1:30?

Was the vertical exaggeration 33.3?

Pretty sure I got them right but want to double check. Forgot what local relief was at first.

Hoping for a 80-85/100. My essays I felt included lots of good content but the wording was often poorly done and I wrote the worst intros and conclusions

Yea, those calcs. are correct. Lol i forgot to bring a calculator.

 

[Makematics]

Pretty sure it's B

yay full marks for MC I think! i always get carried by MC hehe
why is 20 B though. I just considered it from a mathematical perspective. If you calculate the fractions, B is the largest fraction

hmmm i got a different local relief. the local relief should be difference between highest and lowest point i think

There goes another two marks.
