02How it is examined

What a Landscapes and Landforms question asks you to do

Year 7 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Landscapes and Landforms 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 7 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.

03Where this module sits
