The best way to prepare for your AQA GCSE Geography exams is to practise under realistic conditions and then learn from the mark schemes. This lesson provides a mock-style set of practice questions, explains how AQA mark schemes work, and teaches you how to self-assess your answers to identify areas for improvement.
AQA uses two main types of marking:
For lower-tariff questions, the mark scheme lists specific points that earn marks. You get 1 mark for each correct point, up to the maximum.
Example: "Give two reasons why people migrate from rural to urban areas." (2 marks)
Mark scheme:
Any two from the list = 2 marks.
Exam Tip: Notice that the mark scheme often has more creditworthy points than marks available. This means there are multiple correct answers — you do not need to guess the "right" one.
