GCSE Geography revision combines physical processes (rivers, coasts, hazards, ecosystems) with human geography (urbanisation, development, resource management) and a major fieldwork component. Unlike pure sciences, Geography requires you to apply knowledge to real places with real data: vague answers without named examples, specific statistics, and case study details will cap at the lowest grade levels.
AQA GCSE Geography (8035) has three papers. Paper 1 is Physical Geography (rivers, coasts, hazards), Paper 2 is Human Geography (urban issues, development, resource management), and Paper 3 is Geographical Applications covering fieldwork and issue evaluation. Paper 3 is unique. It tests your own fieldwork experience and gives you a pre-release resource booklet 12 weeks before the exam.
