Geography GCSE Exam Preparation Course

Course Information

Course Description

Our one-day Geography Paper 3 exam technique course is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the two key sections of the exam: Issue Evaluation and Unseen Fieldwork.

In the Issue Evaluation section, students will work with the pre-release resource booklet, learning how to analyse and interpret a range of sources, including maps, graphs, and statistics. They will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to assess contemporary geographical issues, evaluate different viewpoints, and construct well-supported arguments.

The Unseen Fieldwork section will focus on applying geographical enquiry skills to unfamiliar contexts. Students will explore how to interpret fieldwork data, analyse geographical patterns, and draw meaningful conclusions by applying their knowledge from physical and human geography topics.

This course offers a structured approach to both sections of Paper 3, ensuring students feel confident in applying their knowledge and skills effectively.

Suitable for:

  • Year 11 students
  • Students looking to improve their exam technique ready for their final exams
  • Year 10 students
  • Students predicted a grade 4 or below
