Exam Tips for Geography

1Paper 1 (Physical): always define key terms — examiners reward precise vocabulary.
2Map skills: 6-figure grid references, compass bearings, and contour interpretation all tested.
3Case studies MUST be named and located — 'a city' or 'a country' scores zero.
4Climate graphs: read temperature (line) and rainfall (bar) axes independently.
5Development: use specific data — HDI, GNI per capita, literacy rate — not vague adjectives.
