Past Papers
Past papers are a great way for you to practise both your theory and your application. Knowing your work is only one part of passing. In order to do well, you must understand how to apply what you’ve leant.
By practising these application questions in past papers, you’ll be able to tackle any of the application questions that you get in your exam. It’s also a great way for you to see which parts of the theory you know and which need more work!

Tips and tricks for passing IEB Geography
Sometimes passing your end year exams can be tricky. You’re not alone! Here are some tips and tricks to help you pass your IEB Geography exam:
- Learn your theory: To do well in your Geography exam, you really need to know your theory. Spend a bit of time every day doing your homework or going through sections that may have been slightly confusing.
- Start a study group: Study groups are a great way to learn from your friends. It’s also a great way for you to explain the theory out loud and see which sections you know and which need a bit more work.
- Apply the theory: Learning to apply the theory is just as important as knowing the theory off by heart. Most of the questions you’ll encounter will be application-based.
- Get another teacher: Each teacher has a different way of explaining the theory and maybe a different teachers method might make more sense to you! Try a tutor or even a teacher on youtube!
