Any advice for GCSE AQA Geography ?
Studying for GCSE geography. Wondering if anyone had any tips ? Any revision/ memorisation techniques. I find it hard to remember the statistics/ facts for human geography and it's hard to summarise so much content. Any advice is appreciated 😊

hey so I take aqa geography and I’m predicted a nine so here’s a few things that I do:
1) For dates/statistics try associating something with them, perhaps it’s close to a friends birthday or you have an inside joke about that date. Anything that helps you subconsciously associate that event with that date/statistic
2) spam practise papers, geography is just repeating the same thing over and over so if you do every past paper question multiple times and get it marked you’ll be fine
3)internet geography is my go to revision resource it has all the info and then quizzes for active recall. Whilst using Internet geography ill make quick mindmaps or cheat sheets with key information on it and the links each topic has to the wider paper(eg if I’m doing Mumbai the key links are urban growth, transport, employment etc)
4) flashcards for definitions and graphs and ill just do these when I have a spare few minutes they don’t need hours dedicated to them but a few minutes throughout the day is very beneficial
Hope this helps🙂

I made a doc where I would put all the statistics of the case studies and review them before the exam. It helped me to memorize.
