Exam Tips
- Always include a title, key, and scale (if applicable) on maps and diagrams to secure full marks for presentation.
- When doing fieldwork, take multiple readings and calculate averages to improve reliability, and present data in clear graphs with labelled axes.
- Use the PEEL structure (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) in extended written tasks to show clear and structured understanding.
- Practice using grid references and compass points on sample maps before the assessment to build confidence and accuracy.
- Read questions carefully to determine if you need to describe (say what you see) or explain (give reasons) – and always back up answers with evidence from provided resources.
- Always use the acronym 'PEE' (Point, Evidence, Explain) in extended response questions to structure your answers.
