A Level Geography Quiz 2021 Part 1

15 Questions

Quiz Description

Completing the review material that will be on the exam is one thing. But attempting questions based on those review materials is a different story. Questions are not always asked directly based on the topics, there are some technical tricks for a student to reason out. Especially for science and social science

The subject geography has so many definitions that it described but one of the simplest being “Geography is a science that deals with the earth and its life”. Due to its large syllabus it has been separated into 2 categories which are physical and human geography.

Considering the workload that students have, we have designed a quiz to help them reduce some of this work. 15 questions present, each question is set according to the GCE standard with each question having four possible answers.

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

Good luck!!!
