15 Questions

Quiz Description

With the increase in technology advancement, studying has become a lot much easier. Topics, questions and quizzes have been made available for all students that have an internet access. In the domain of social subjects, we have designed a quiz based on the subject Geography.

Geography, defined as the study of earth and its life, is one the main social science subjects that students face at the CGCE Advanced level. With this subject divided into two main parts, reading and understanding the concepts become almost impossible for most students.

We have come to understand that answering as many questions as possible before the exam is a great way of testing your knowledge. With the help of technology, we have provided a quiz for you. This quiz is made up of 15 questions, with each question based on the Advanced level Geography.

Be playful with quizzes and always keep an open mind to learn new and exciting methods of answering questions.

Good luck!!!
