Paper 3 of the AQA GCSE Geography exam focuses on geographical applications — bringing together your skills, fieldwork experience and geographical knowledge. This lesson provides essential exam technique advice, worked examples of common question types, and practice guidance for the skills-based questions you will face.
AQA GCSE Geography Paper 3: Geographical Applications has the following structure:
| Section | Content | Marks | Time (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | Issue Evaluation (pre-release material) | 37 | 30 minutes |
| Section B | Fieldwork | 39 | 30 minutes |
| Total | 76 | 1 hour 15 min |
Geographical skills (map work, graphical skills, statistics) are tested across all three papers, not just Paper 3. However, Paper 3 is where your fieldwork and issue evaluation skills come together.
Before the exam, you receive a pre-release booklet (Resource Booklet) about 12 weeks in advance. This contains maps, graphs, data, photographs and text about a geographical issue.
