Geography Revision

It is assessed by three written exams with no coursework. Paper 1 covers Living with the physical environment, Paper 2 covers Challenges in the human environment, and Paper 3 is a pre-release issue evaluation plus fieldwork. The papers are weighted 35%, 35% and 30%.

Paper 1 covers natural hazards (tectonics, weather hazards and climate change), the living world (ecosystems, tropical rainforests and either hot deserts or cold environments), and physical landscapes in the UK, where you study two of coasts, rivers and glacial landscapes.

Learn a small number of named examples in real depth rather than many shallow ones. For each, memorise specific facts, figures and place names, then practise applying them to 6 and 9 mark questions. Every topic here is paired with its key case studies so you revise them in context.

Across the three papers you need roughly a dozen named examples and case studies, such as a tropical storm, a tectonic event, a major UK city and an LIC or NEE. Learn a small number in real depth rather than many superficially.
