Read the news,know your case studies and make sure you have a list of judgement words. Also my school uses Geography Review for further reading. Thanks @iL1L

Having done Geography Gcse and getting a decent grade , (I havent done A-level geography ), but I assume there are probably a lot of case studies and more essay related questions in A-level. As with any essay questions highlighting or identifying keywords are very important as the main bulk of your answer would consist higly around that topic/subject so adressing that is key. Offcourse Past paper A -level markschemes relating to your subject might be difficult to understand at first however offcourse making relevant notes related to the keywords in an exam question can help a lot when it comes to first answering an essay question in an exam. I understand that Geogrpahy A-level might have some very long winded topics/concepts but offcourse making a summary in your own words about a recurrent popular theme or topic that shows up in most past papers is important. Setting a word limit may help as well such as 500 words per essay topic may help. As with every specification there is a glossary section with all relevant keywords and formulas/equations etc that you should probably best take into account as it may be useful for future exams. hope this helps a bit. 🙂
