Which topics do I need to study?
Study all the core topics and the options taught by your school. The displayed options reflect our taught route; all three papers are included.
- Living world: ecosystems and tropical rainforests, plus one of hot deserts or cold environments.
- UK landscapes: the UK landscape overview, plus coastal and river landscapes. Glacial landscapes are not part of our taught route.
- Resources: resource management, plus the food option. The core overview still covers food, water and energy.
- Paper 3: issue evaluation and fieldwork. Your own fieldwork enquiries and the exam year's pre-release material will matter when revising.
- Skills: maps, graphs, data and geographical arguments can be assessed in all three papers.
Ask your teacher which options and case studies your class uses. The revision pages include sourced examples; use your school’s named examples if they differ.
