Making the grade: question and answer

Global migration, power and borders

This Question and Answer looks at questions from the OCR sample A-level Human Interactions exam paper H481.02. Question 1 is from Option B, Global Migration and question 2 is from Option D Power and Borders. The questions range from short-answer data-stimulus to essaystyle questions. The topics are covered in other specifications, although question style and mark tariffs will vary (Box 1). The exam comments are the responsibility of GEOGRAPHY REVIEW and have neither been provided nor approved by the examination board

The sequence of questions explored here is typical of the new A-levels. Initial questions are short and involve datastimulus skills, but this shifts quickly towards longer essay questions worth 12–20 marks.On many exam papers (including H481, but not shown here) there are 6–8 mark questions sandwiched between the short and long questions.
