What has changed for GCSE Geography?
● There is no controlled assessment
● Students are instead asked questions about their fieldwork and have to apply knowledge in the exam.
● It is not tiered- everyone has to sit the same paper.
● Questions get progressively harder…. and the exam is harder!
● Students have large quantities of information that they have to remember, as well developing coherent arguments.
