Exam tips
Paper format
- Duration
- 60 min for one subject / 130 min when taking two subjects
- Total marks
- 100
- Weighting
- 100%
- Question types
- Maps, GIS materials, graphs, photographs, short sources and regional comparison items
- Before interpreting any map, identify scale, orientation, units and classification method. Many distractors exploit confusing absolute values with rates or local scale with national scale.
- For agriculture, settlement, energy and hazards, write one physical factor and one human factor. Common Test geography often expects interaction, not a single-cause answer.
- Practise reading temperature range, precipitation seasonality and wind/current effects. Use latitude, altitude, continentality and monsoon/westerly influence as your four-part climate checklist.
Common mistakes
Map reading
Ignoring units and treating density, rate and total as the same measure.
How to avoid: Circle the unit before reading answer choices and convert mentally to per-area or per-person meaning.
Climate
Explaining rainfall only by latitude.
How to avoid: Check wind direction, mountain barriers, ocean currents and seasonal pressure belts.
Hazards
Confusing hazard occurrence with disaster risk.
How to avoid: Risk combines hazard, exposure and vulnerability; identify which one the proposed measure changes.
