Tips to top Geography

Geography Paper which is another paper of Social Science and students must have a proper understanding of how to answer the Geography Paper in the coming ICSE Exam
1) In the ICSE Geography Exam two things are very important and will help the students to fetch a lot of marks. They are the topography sheet and the questions related to this section which carries full 20 marks and map work which also carries a good weight age of marks.Hence the first step for the students appearing for this year’s exam is to practice map pointing and working out questions on topographical sheets as many as possible before appearing for the exam.A student who manages to get all the answers correct in these two sections will definitely be able to score well in this exam. So make sure students that you prepare yourselves thoroughly in these two sections.
2) Revise each and every lesson very well and try to remember the names of each forest and their features, dams and their locations, soil and their compositions and so on for objective type of questions. Examinees must target these objective type of questions and must be able to get all the answers correct as these questions are easy and simple to score marks.
3) While answering the questions on differences and similarities make sure to illustrate your answers with examples of places and locations of any other as required. If need be draw a small rough outline of the map of that particular place and point out the areas. This leaves a very positive impact on the examiner.
4) Avoid writing long answers in Geography because it is a subject to understand and not mug up. Write only to the point answers and try to make sub headings wherever necessary. Each answer whether the question demands or not must have examples supporting the content of the answer. Remember like the Science answers Geography answers also require illustration to support the content.
5) Label all your diagrams properly. Without proper labeling the diagrams might not fetch the deserving marks from the examiner no matter how good it might be.
6) Questions demanding explanations must be answered to the point by adding only the relevant reasons. Students are requested not to exaggerate their answers as this might divert them from the relevant information.
7) Always carry colors and compass box as it is often required during the Geography Exam.
Although Geography might sound to be a heavy subject, yet the questions are always easy and interesting to answer, for any examinee, only if they walk on the right track.
