Do you like mindmaps?

The mindmaps below are for the three areas we have covered (well, actually we haven't covered 'Managing change in the human environment' yet so you don't need it for your Mocks, but you will need it for the June exam!)

You can download these by using the icons at the top of each page. Please note - they don't contain every tiny bit of information you need (but they are a very good start!).

I suggest you redraw these yourself. Use pictures / images. Use lots of colour.

You could actually have a separate mindmap for each of the 4 'threads' on each mindmap (and put details on e.g. case studies)

Managing the Physical Environment


Managing the Economic Environment


Managing the Human Environment

The spinning lady

The two halves of your brain are associated with different functions and to revise best you need to utilise both halves. Look here for the spinning lady and more information.

As well as a 'revision audit' and examples of a revision card and mind map, this site contains questions, mark sheets and interactive multiple choice quizzes for foundation level.

There are probably lots more that I've missed. Why not let me know if you find a good revision site?

Revision timetables

Need blank planners to help you organise your revision? There are lots available on the web (or you can create your own). Try these from the BBC as a starting point:

Weekly revision planner can be found here

How do you revise?

| View | Upload your own

If you haven't already got your revision guidance booklet (not just for Geography) you can download it from the school website using the link here

What is on your syllabus?

You can access the syllabus here This is AQA syllabus C.The most useful part to you is the list of what we should study - click on 'Suject content' on the left hand menu of the syllabus.

How to revise!

I did this in a bit of a hurry so it doesn't actually include any great visuals (as it should for the visual learners!). However, some of the suggested techniques may be helpful!

Could you answer these questions?

Click here
to take you to loads of questions for every topic (including the ones we haven't done yet!). You'll need to click on each topic to get to the questions. Thanks to St Dunstan's School in Somerset (they do the same syllabus as us)

Revision Podcasts

As a first post, following a brief conversation with one person in the class today, here is the link to the Geography GCSE podcasts from BBC Bitesize (click here)

Remember - we don't do all these topics - the following ones will be useful:
Ageing populations (don't worry if this doesn't make sense, we haven't actually done this bit of the course yet!)
Glaciation and Foreign Aid

As I find more I'll add the links.
