Heyyy
This is a resource I found really useful when I did my GCSEs last year
It has all the topics and what year each question type has come up to help if u want to make predictions.

Also just tag me in if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help

For anyone struggling AQA geography, no worries you just need to quickly memorise a bunch of stuff. Use the AQA specification (Search AQA GEOGRAPHY GCSE SPECIFICATION) and it lists out a very detailed breakdown of every possible topic and everything you need to know. Use this to focus your revision on what you don't know. In my opinion, there isn't really much useful resources online for geography (except for Internet geography which is kind of useful) so I would suggest the CGP AQA Geography book. I would also recommend checking out these notes https://www.stuvia.com/en-gb/bundle/394347/bundle-geography-aqa-paper-1-en-2-by-gcsemastery . They have notes for paper 1 & 2 very detailed with the spec point listed next to it and every case study is covered.
Hope this helps anybody who is stuck 🙂

I GOT four 9s and four 8s in gcses, and here are my paper 1 geography notes:https://www.stuvia.com/doc/3617383/grade-9-aqa-geography-paper-1-detailed-notes-every-single-thing-you-need-to-know-by-combsci-en-geo (ITS NOT A SUMMARY, CONTAINS COMPLETE DETAILED CONTENT)^I have painstakingly gathered information from every AQA specific resource I could lay my hands on including seneca, coolgegraphy, internetgeography, videos and the AQA textbook itself in order to create this incredibly precise document. It meets every single specification point in detail, including diagrams, and case studies and rigorous explanations covering every single concept. It is the boiling pot of absolutely every single thing you need to know to seize your 9 in GCSE geography

Heyyy

I compltelty relate to what you're saying. There are a lot of case studies for gcse geography and it can definitely feel overwhelming. I would recommend making an A4 summary sheet or a couple of flashcards for each case study depending on what you find more useful. I know its quite late to be starting revision notes now but if you make a summary of each case study it will help you to remember the information and then practice blurting the information with a friend or by yourself. Also just remember that even referencing a case study counts as an example - you dont necessarily need all the statistics memorised
Good luck xx
