Q Grade score Annotation

1 06

The overall result is high Merit and the candidate has answered all aspects of the question in detail. The map is partially annotated but mainly just labelled to show the location of features relevant to spatial patterns. The candidate clearly describes in detail Linear and Dispersed patterns of development. For each pattern, specific details and causes are explained. The candidate also explains changes over time but has some inaccuracies within the written text. These aspects limit the candidate from achieving an E7, which is a comprehensive analysis of the operation of tourism development. It is a good answer but would need to provide more insight into the reasons behind the location of spatial patterns to move to E7.
