geog paper 1 - 05/11 .* challenging paper , both the DRQs and essays were not as straightforward as what i had thought would have been .* some mistakes : i mentioned "pools" and "riffles" in the fieldwork sketch for braided channel , when those two features are actually related to meanders . also , i wasn't confident with my hydrology case studies and so i went on to attempt the essays for lithosphere and atmosphere . alas , how wrong my decision was as part (b) of the litho essay seems rather abstract and i didn't know how to bring in the relevant case studies . in the end i just plunked in some examples here and there . fortunately i managed to do the droughts essay quite well .math paper 2 - 06/11 .* too easy! although i wasn't able to complete the summation of series part of question 2 , i actually managed to complete the mathematical induction part that preceded it . it's like i never practised it for ages and i could still get it right . >.<* some mistakes : didn't do the qualitative question on quota sampling (question 5) . plus i forgot to multiply answer by 2 for question 9 (ii) .* because the paper was not as difficult as expected , the slightest mistakes will cost me an A or even B grade . i'd probably be content with a C grade for maths ...next paper : the most dreaded of all - econs !! [on 13/11]which means exactly a week's time to make the final dash in revision .
