Geography GCSE OCR B- year 11

[Blubell46]

My ds just got his report for his exams sat in September and he needs to work on his geography.

Just wandering if there are any resources that he can tap into- understand this spec. Before he sits his mocks- thank you

He could download the exams from previous years for practice?

Ds didn't do Geography but History and the OCR revision book for that was fantastic (he got a 9)

The Geography B version is this www.amazon.co.uk/My-Revision-Notes-GCSE-Geography/dp/1471887340?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Re Amazon links, you can delete everything after the number ie /ref.... to shorten them. I learned this about 2 weeks ago.

Re revision, firstly I would suggest they need the knowledge so all the facts, dates etc then you can look at past papers and work out how he would answer the questions. I would say essay planning is the biggest key to success. Means you know what to say when something comes up.

For retaining info it depends what works for your son, it could be mind maps or flashcards. Mine like flashcards, makes it easy to test them.

Thank you all very much. I will check the books out and get them. His exams are in January so that gives us time to improve on his results.

Thank you.

Have you looked at Seneca? My DS found interactive revision more helpful than revision guides.
