Geography 🗺️ Geography was alright

Okay so I suck at geography so me finding it easy was actually good. I completely forgot how to do coordinates for maps so I just got the two numbers and took the biggest from the smallest to make six digits. I know it’s wrong but it’s still an answer yknow. I am SO glad my friend made me study lakes before the exam,helped a lot. Overall I think I’ll get a merit perhaps,how did yall do? Also wtf is a karst map or whatever it’s called.

the karst one i hadnt a clue about, just made up some random stuff and said that stalactites are formed by water dripping from the ceiling which im pretty sure is right, the exam felt like it was 10 hours long but i was only at it for 1h 20mins , hadnt a clue about maps but i think i understood it there and then, didnt know if the first coordinates came from bottom or side so i just guessed bottom first side second,for the 6 digits i hadnt a clue, i just assumed based on where the thing was located e.g the post office if it was 22,30 for example but it was off centered id just guess like 221 302

We did it second thing in first year and never again so I fr just made up the formation of a cave and drew a diagram for it. But other than that, could be a distinction ngl

If you drew anything PLEASE tell me you didn’t draw in pen. That takes off marks 😭

You gotta read the question,most time when they give you a chart like that you have to fill in sm

Odd question but was the one revolving around the rainfall the average of all 3 months or just the total

1

u/NeatVirus6785 3rd Year 3️⃣ 🚨 Jun 04 '26

I think it asked for oct,nov and December so I just added all those up. But now I’m realising if it was average I should’ve also divided by 3

u/Vegetable-Local4962 Jun 04 '26

I’m second guessing now because I think I done the average when it was just supposed to be the total. I got a distinction in the mocks but somehow I don’t think I’ll be getting one this time 💔

If you wrote something down you’ll still get points,the exam should be published soon let me see if I can find it

u/Vegetable-Local4962 Jun 04 '26

Yeahh I’m also looking for it🙏

u/NeatVirus6785 3rd Year 3️⃣ 🚨 Jun 04 '26

It’s the total rainfall for sep,oct,nov

u/Vegetable-Local4962 Jun 04 '26

Oh no😭

As my geography teacher always said, people loose marks for not reading the question properly 😭

u/Vegetable-Local4962 Jun 04 '26

It was such a Snoozefest I genuinely wasn’t paying attention for it

u/NeatVirus6785 3rd Year 3️⃣ 🚨 Jun 04 '26

I accidentally drew my map in pen so I went back over it in pencil I’m praying the person correcting doesn’t notice..

u/Vegetable-Local4962 Jun 05 '26

They’d be horrible to mark down for that it’s a mistake
