Hi @gregory100 ,

During my GCSE's, I also studied geography so I'd love to provide you with some tips 🙂.

Creating your own revision material
My first recommendation is to create your own revision material so that it's tailored to your learning. The first step is identifying how you remember information best, whether this is auditory, visual or kinaesthetic techniques.

Visual: Learn best by seeing the information in a visual format, e.g. graphs, mind maps, diagrams, educational videos.

Auditory: Learn best by hearing the information, e.g. lectures, discussions, podcasts.

Kinaesthetic: Learn best through hands-on actives, e.g. roleplay, teaching others, demonstrations and playing games.


Creating revision tools that are match your learning style, which may be a mix of multiple, will make your revision more efficient. Additionally creating this tools is also a form of revision.

Pre-made resources
Based on your post, it seems you are requesting pre-made resources, these can be an excellent time-saver, however I do highly recommend doing a mix of pre-made and ones you have personally created. Here are some recommendations:

Pre-made revision cards - You can often buy these for a great price online, these will have lots of information condensed into small sections. Make sure you choose the right revision cards for your exam board. Here is an example, however these may not be the exact ones you need so just double check.

Past papers - On the official Edexcel website you should be able to find past papers alongside their mark schemes, this is an excellent resource for learning how to answer exam questions and the style of answers the examiner is looking for.

YouTube videos - There may be YouTube videos which condense each Edexcel geography topic into small videos, or a video for each exam paper. I personally loved this style of revision for biology and used it in small amounts for geography too.


Good luck with your exams, please feel free to ask me any questions,
