Eduqas GCSE Geography A (C111) revision
Eduqas Geography A has three exam components. Component 1 covers Themes 1 to 4, Component 2 covers Themes 5 to 8, and Component 3 is the fieldwork and decision-making paper. These pages go theme by theme: short notes, the key terms, the mistakes that lose marks, and practice questions you can answer on your phone. The long written answers (4, 6, 8 and 12 marks) are for homework your teacher marks, but the notes here show you how they are marked.
