AQA

An examination manual for an A-level Geography department. It is about how the qualification is assessed and how students gain marks, not how to teach the content. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim. Everything after it is about the assessment.

Cover of A Level Geography — AQA

Written for this specification. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim from AQA's own document; everything after it is about how the assessment works and how students gain marks.

The assessment objectives are worded almost identically across boards and weighted differently, so this book covers AQA only. Check the board you teach before buying.
