Before working through the specification, you'll complete a short Initial Assessment covering key ideas from both physical and human geography.
The questions span topics from across both papers, helping identify which themes you already understand well and which ones need more focus.
Your course then adapts around these results, prioritising the areas that will make the biggest difference to your final GCSE Geography grade.
Personal Learning Plan
Topic Area Knowledge Assessments
A series of Topic Area Knowledge Assessments follows, covering river, coastal and hazardous environments alongside economic activity, rural and urban environments and global issues.
Your performance in these assessments builds a Personal Learning Plan tailored to you, directing your study time towards the topics that need the most attention rather than spreading it evenly.
This plan updates as you progress through the course, keeping your GCSE Geography preparation focused right up to exam day.
