Geography Revision?
Watch
Announcements
Is it just me or do you find Geography the hardest subject to revise for? For some reason compared to the other subjects I take, Geography seems to be the hardest, maybe because it has so many topics... Any tips on how to revise for it? Maybe youtube channels or websites? because I haven't found any other than bitesize. Thanks in advance

I find it hard to revise only because I find it extremely boring, and I’m doing Igcse edexcel geography, the exam is 3 HOURS so it’s pretty dreadful

Hey, I got an A* at GCSE geography and am now taking it for A level so listen up!
I hate revision with a burning passion and did barely anything for any of my subjects, so I feel your pain, but this is what I did for geography:
- Grab a load of A3 paper, whack out the Sharpies and put a topic on each page; don't worry too much about presentation and put on some music to prevent boredom from killing you, just get all the info down
- Use a different colour for stuff you don't know; this makes life easier later as you can just read over the stuff in that colour
- Get someone else to test you on any key words you're not sure of
There are obviously loads more things you can do and I would recommend you do as many as you can tolerate - good luck!

I done OCR and I used a CPG book, I would first find a textbook that outlines everything and go over the notes you make, plus draw diagrams.

Is the CGP guide enough?

I'm a bit confused. So is the CGP guide enough for Edexcel?

Alright, so I used the OCR book because I done OCR. My mistake I didn’t use CPG, so if you are doing Edexcel you would have to get Edexcel.

I am also doing Geography for A level (hopefully) so I have to get at least a B in the exams so it’s a lot of pressure

I am using the AQA textbook, it’s quite good for knowing all the topics but it doesn’t go into much detail so I usually look everything up online to get more detail.

The CGP guide is good, just make sure you go through the exam specification to check it hasn't missed anything
