Attempt a practice paper. Complete all possible questions. 2. Use the official mark scheme to mark and correct answers, paying careful attention to key vocabulary or phrasing required to get the mark. E.g. in an answer to describe the effects of climate change, stating flooding would score zero marks. You would need to say more flooding as flooding happens anyway; climate change will just make it more frequent or extreme. 3. Any questions that were left blank-make a note and then use revision resources to study this area and review the mark scheme. 4. Attempt the paper again. Aim to improve your answers/scores until you have achieved the score you are happy with.
