How did you all find the exam?
Personally I found it alright, the first extended response te a bit to start with but, I got it after a while :)
The ecosystems one was the easiest question in my opinion.

good overall :) the extended response questions were good because they were pretty generalised imo and i liked having some freedom with the last question.

short answers were a bit weird...didn't like the map question much!

band 5 i'm hoping for.

Re: How was it?

Exact same as me :D
I don't feel confident at all now :s
Like 4 of my answers were different and I nomally get full marks for short answer + multiple choice...
And that saves me from my horrible extended reponses dragging me down.

:cold:Byebye band 6.

geo is a shit attempt at a biology course, a mix of science and policies = boring shit
That is very untrue realy. There is alot of different and useful content covered in geography that wouldn't be in any other subject.
Ithink it also touches on alot of development/humanitarian studies which is good.
There is alot of different aspects to geography, some are very similar to things you covere in other subjects but all the content you learn is useful in everyday life I personally believe.

By the way what did everyone put for the Ecosystem at risk? It was so hard to decipher what was what haha.

  • Intrinsic Value
  • Utility Value
  • Maintaining Biodiversity
  • Intergenerational Equity
Oh I meant to for short answer question which you had to refer to the map of Bahrain.
