02How it is examined

What a Geographical Inquiry and Fieldwork question asks you to do

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Geographical Inquiry and Fieldwork are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Geography Year 10 uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
