Advice for Geography

Does anyone know any good exam techniques or acronyms that help you get higher marks because in the describe/explanation/evaluate questions I get marks for what identify but I never get full marks. So if anyone has any please share.

you need to ensure you're secure in your knowledge of all the processes and diagrams so you can talk about them in enough detail. flashcards were the best for me when learning them. get familiar with your stats and case studies too :yep:

exam questions were definitely the most effective revision method for me though as it got me to improve my exam technique and see any weak areas that i needed to work on. do lots of practice questions, especially the longer mark ones.
