    Hey the junior cert geography exam is this Friday , the 6th of June :)
    I know that geography is a pretty easy subject and a lot is common sense, but still it is easy to lose marks which are usually due to silly mistakes!
    Any tips please? Especially In the long questions thanks! :)

    Always always ALWAYS use the Statement Explanation/Development Example technique when answering the long questions. Oh and read the question carefully too before you answer it :)

    Thank you:) Any idea of what could actually appear on the long questions!
    I know you can never know for certain but you know what I mean anyway :)

    OS maps and physical geography always appear every year

    Make sure you can draw good sketch maps of OS maps and aerial photographs as that nearly always comes up and is very easy if you're prepared. Practise drawing other diagrams such as features of river erosion/deposition, rock formation etc.
