IGCSE Geography Final Exams - May 2021
Below (blue tab) are all the case studies as listed in the IGCSE Geography syllabus for 2019. These case studies are often used as the focus for the 7 mark questions at the end of each of the six questions.
To access the 6th and 7th mark in the question, you have to be able to state place specific information and data from the relevant case study and show a good understanding of the impacts / processes etc.

Paper 1 - The first exam will last for 1hr 45 and will test you on all the work that we have covered on the following units of work:
Question 1 & 2 - Population & Settlement Question 3 & 4 - Natural Environments Question 5 & 6 - Economic Development You will have to answer three questions in total from those available. You must answer either Q1 or Q2 (Population or Settlement), either Q3 or Q4 (Natural Environments) and either Q5 or Q6 (Economic Development). That's three questions in total in 1 hr 45 mins. Check out the Paper 1 (click to enlarge) front page to the right. Your exam will look the same. It is really important that you read the instructions carefully as you will have to understand what you need to do to avoid making big mistakes and completing too many questions. You will also get a resource booklet with photos and graphs in it. Some questions will require that you study the resource book carefully. Answer THREE QUESTIONS ONLY. 1 or 2, 3 or 4 and 5 or 6.

Paper 2 - This is a skills based 1hr 30 minute examination that tests your map skills, photo interpretation and graph interpretation using the topics we study at iGCSE as the focus.
Check out the paper 2 (click to enlarge) front cover to the right. Your mock exam will look exactly the same. You will need a ruler, protractor and will be issued with some plain paper for workings out etc. You will also be given a map insert that will be used as a focus to test your four and six figure grid reference skills. If you don't revise for this, it will be a tricky paper and you have to answer all of the questions fully. You will have to make some quick calculations and not hang around. There are often 14 pages of questions to get through although there are few extended answers. Most of the responses are brief, circle the correct answer etc etc. Check out the mock examination papers below. |

Grade 9 - May 2021
IGCSE Geography Examination
Dear Grade 9 - Below you can find your revision list for the May examination. The first tab is the Word version of the revision list and the second tab is the PDF version. Use whichever you prefer. Please get in contact with me should you require any further help or support.
Exam Tips
1. Your paper will last for 1 hr 45 minutes (although you have up to 2 hours to complete it).
2. Underline key command terms.
3. Make sure you fill all the space given to you.
4. Understand the marks. A question for 2 marks requires 2 points, 3 marks = 3 points made, 4 & 5 = the same.
You have exactly twice as many lines as the number of marks so each point should take two lines to make.
5. P.E.E.L in the 7 mark questions.
6. Revise and remember your case studies including at least three pieces of data / place information / key people etc.
Anything you produce now (revision materials) will be of real use 12 months from now for the real thing!
