I recently realized that I have not written posts about the Edexcel International GCSE Geography books that we are using, not sure why that slipped, but I am going to start sharing a few posts about our Geography resources.

Okay so we have two main student books or text books (I always like to have more than one book for all of our subjects). We have Hodder Edexcel International GCSE student book (I will share a post on this next week) and we also have the Revision Notes book. Now in totally honesty the reason that I selected both of these books is because we used the similar titles for our other subjects and I have happy with the content and the format so I went with what had worked in the past.

Okay so a few important facts about this book. It does cover all the topics (remember you don’t need to study all of the topics, you get some choice, please make sure you look at the spec and understand what you need to cover). These are summary notes, if you compare this to other books you will see that this one does not contain as much detail. Also I want to stress – there are questions in this book and the answers are FREE to download from the publishers website (I have seen a few comments saying there are NO answers and that is not correct, log on to the website go down to the answer tab and you will find all the answers there)

Okay so let me give you an idea of what the pages look like (I like the page layout).

So the pages are well set out, they use lots of blocks and diagrams which we like. And scattered through the book are these light green blocks with some questions in so you can test yourself. My kids and I find this book very easy to read and use. It focuses on the key facts and is a great way to make sure you understand these key points.

They have also included key points about the case studies (must admit I was very happy to spot this).

At the end of each topic they have a summary block and a few examples of exam style questions.

I find this book very easy to use and I like the fact that we have a resource that is a summary of all the key points. Plus I like the fact that we have some additional questions (I am finding it a bit harder to find practice questions for Geography compared to some other subjects so any resource with questions and answers is a big win for me). I highly recommend My Revision Notes for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Geography book
