MAKING THE GRADE: QUESTION AND ANSWER

Changing places

This issue’s Question and Answer uses questions similar in style to the 2019 AQA Human Geography Paper 2 exam paper. The questions are focused on the Changing Places topic, specifically related to factors affecting the characteristics, perceptions of and experience of places. Questions range from a 4-mark point-marked question up to a challenging 20-mark essay. Changing Places is covered by other specifications, although question style and mark tariffs will vary (Box 1). The exam comments are the responsibility of GEOGRAPHY REVIEW and have neither been provided nor approved by the examination board.
