Product Description
Product Description
This book is full of clear revision notes, detailed diagrams and practice exam questions for GCSE Geography students. It covers the major topics for the AQA A and OCR B exams, and there's also an exam skills section that contains useful tips for getting good grades. Everything you need to know is explained simply and thoroughly, including a wide range of essential case studies. Every few pages there are some exam-style questions and there is a practice exam paper to test what you have learnt (answers are at the back).
From the Publisher
This book has been updated for the new specifications to include more in-depth material on case studies and map work — making it even more useful to revise from. And we think some of the gags are pretty funny too...

This is another great revision guide from CGP - full of light-hearted 'jokes' and puns that help to keep you going. As usual there is focus on what you really need to know, which helps if you have a geography teacher like mine who is in love with the subject and thinks we all are too, and also thinks he is preparing us all for doign a geography degree... The clear diagrams are great for understanding key ideas, and the cartoons help you remember stuff as well as being fun. The revision summaries are good for checking that you have absorbed everything. The only downside really is that only parts of the guide are relevant to my course - edexel A - so you have to keep checking whether you need to know that bit or not. But it is SOOO much clearer and easier to understand than the edexel textbook and revision book school gave me (Tomorrow's Geography) it's well worth it.

I bought this book along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology (which are amazing by the way) hoping that it would cut down a lot on faffing about during revision. While this would have been the case had i gone along with it, I found that this book is mising *so* much. Sure, it covers the gist of pretty much everything, but with a finickety (or at last, finickety for getting good marks in exams) subject like Geography, a revision guide or textbook needs to be comprehensive as well as concise (ok, somewhat of an oxymoron, but as you'll find out later it's not too much to ask). Case studies come up in the form of big mark questions on the exam and this book doesn't really provide any. Granted, there are lots of different syllabus' and its pretty tough for any one book to cover all of them without being the size of a hippopotamus. A book I would reccomend, however, is Understanding GCSE Geography by Heineman - particularly good for me as this is tailored to the specification A AQA course (which, surprise surprise is the one I'm doing). So, in short, my point is, save you tenner and don't get this book: buy one thats tailored to your course.

I am currently studying for GCSE Geography and buying this book has summarised all that I need to know in adequate detail. The jokes are not good. The information includes examples of areas which are essential for the main exam.

An easy to use guide- clearly written
A straightforward and clear guide- it's not trying to be a text book, but gives you a check list of what you need to know from your studies. I used it and got an A*. Read more
