Higher geography

For the formations can l just memorise the marking instructions in the SQA cuz the stuff that the teacher teaches and when i write the exact same thing she doesn't give me the mark but rather she gives me the mark when i write using the words in the marking instructions

The SQA marking schemes are just guidelines for the markers so they often don't give enough for a full mark. I think it would be fine to base your answers off of what they have written however I think you should be expanding your answers.
