I crammed last year the night before the geography exam with no revision done before that. Just get the cgp book and highlight as many times as you can then get someone to test you on each section or cover it up with paper and try and remember as much as you can. Repeat this process as much as you can. I ended up getting a 9 through this.

Also try and go as quick as you can, I remember a lot of people last year ran out of time. Also learn command words some questions you don't even need much knowledge like the analyse questions. Also if you are really screwed before the exam just learn case studies as it will grab you marks on the 6 and 9 markers
d a m n thats clever, ok so i got a 6 in the last mock, and my memory is truly rusty, you must be a genius, also we do edexcel geography a so there is no cgp book for it

i barely take notes for english outside of class. all i do is videos -> exam questions -> look at level 9 exemplars -> learn what i could’ve put in -> repeat
