GCSE geography is quite different to the geography you’ve been doing in yr 8 and 9. There are less one/two mark ‘easy’ questions and more 4/5 mark questions in the tests as well as a 9 mark one in each end of topic.The course takes a long time so every lesson is jam packed with information to be able to complete the course on time! Geography notes also take a long time to do and they must be done at home as we don’t have time for notes lesson! Geography is however very interesting and I love it! I definitely recommend it if you love geography and are willing to put in the effort.
