2)mgt of tw ecosystems at risk (on from the broadsheet and the other from our own knowledge)

3) challenges facing mega cities

Essays were ok, our question 19 was changed as we didnt have enough info yet so i sepnt most of my time on that 1.

Skills was shit easy and the short answer was as well however i didnt have enough itme to finish it off.

 

[Matt]

What type of skills were there and what were the short answer questions?

 

[melissella]

skills were really hard- mostly to do with the maps and calculations- i mean, wtf, its more maths than it is geo gaddmmit.

who hasnt done their trial yet? i know people dont even start until next week and later

 

[Matt]

Our short answer questions were something about Management Strategies and methodologies. And as far as the skills go, we had to do latitude/longitude, population density, photgraphic skills, statistics, weather maps etc. Does this sound like the catholic trial coz i dont know if I did the catholic or not.

nup... that's not the catholic trial

 

[Matt]

R u sure it's not the catholic trial?? For Sec II it had something to do with a geographical issue, spot the height/gradient, bearing etc. And look at the Topo map to find a geograhical issue and so on.

 

[year12_student]

All geo exams have that for question two.
But the mulitple choice didn't have lat and longitude.... but apart from that it sounds right.

How come you didn't know what it was? Don't your teachers tell you and it says it on the front!

 

[Matt]

I didn't look on the front...lol...umm for longitude/latitude i mean like area and grid references. does that sound right?

 

[year12_student]

yep sounds like it.... you'll soon find out, though, when you get it back!

Good Luck

Geography was easy i finished it 30 minutes early and if HSC is easier than trials then i dont need to study for geo but i still will study

Rogan if you finished a subject with 3 extended responses 30 minutes early it is showing that you did not know enough to spend all your available time writing, and so maximise the marks that you can get. I would be studying for the proper if i were you
