case studies are important, revise these constantly. flashcards for diagrams and key processes. i used a myrevisionnotes revision guide for revision and practice questions, a little pricier than CGP i think but worth the money as the layout was really easy to read and they had lots of useful questions.

sorry to hear that, seems to be a problem across many schools recently :redface: geography i'd say isn't too hard content wise to understand, especially the human geography so you can do it!! use stuff like seneca learning to help if you can.
I mainly focused on case studies and exam technique. Knowing the basic content is essential but being able to show the examiner you know it and bringing in little real-world examples/details is very significant too. Once you start feeling confident with the basic content, or even before, start doing a lot of practice papers and exam Qs. From 4-markers all the way through to 12-markers, get teachers to assess them for you and try not to lose little marks. Good luck!
