Is there a pre-release for GCSE Geography?
Yes, for one paper only. GCSE Geography (AQA 8035) has a pre-release booklet for Paper 3, Geographical applications. AQA issues the booklet 12 weeks before the Paper 3 exam, so students can prepare the material in advance.
What is in the pre-release booklet?
The booklet gives information about a geographical issue, and the Paper 3 questions draw on it. Read it closely, make notes on the key points and the evidence, and check which information you need to research for yourself.
Is there a formula sheet?
No. There is no equations or formula sheet for GCSE Geography, so the pre-release booklet is the main resource to plan around for Paper 3.
Where to practise
For the full exam structure, grades and key dates, read the GCSE Geography guide. Check the latest AQA news before you plan your revision, as exam rules can change.
