A Level Geography Quiz 2017 Part 2

15 Questions

Quiz Description

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it.

This is one of the most fluid subjects at the advanced level. At the examination level, students always encounter a lot of difficulties answering MCQs concerning this subject. This can be due to pressure, similarity of answers and so on.

Within the framework of our activities and purpose, we have designed a quiz mainly for students encountering such difficulties. This quiz is based on the CGCE syllabus. With exactly 15 questions present, each question has a maximum of 4 answers possible and among which only one is correct among the four possible choices
