Tips

 Revise named examples - know off by heart with specific place detail
 Know which countries are HICs and NEEs / LICs
 If you are asked to look at map/diagram etc then show in your answer that you did - use facts and figures if appropriate
 Understand command words in question and use geographical terms.
BUG the questions (Box the command word, underline the keywords and glance back at the question).
 Answer the question set not what you think it might be asking, making sure you answer all parts
 Look at how many marks are given for each question as a guide as to how much detail you should write
