A Level Geography Quiz 2020 Part 2

15 Questions

Quiz Description

The frustration that Geography has and still is giving students at the Advanced level has kept us wondering on what to do to solve the problem. But as time passed, we discovered a simpler way of assisting students. And this method works hand in hand with the modern-day system of technology.

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Carefully selected, we have chosen 15 questions from the CGCE session of 2020. These questions are based on the both parts of Geography that is the physical and human geography

Take your time to go through each question carefully before giving your suggested answer and always remember to keep an open mind.
