Geographical skills — IGCSE Geography (0460) questions by topic
Reading a 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 map extract of coastal or urban Scotland and France drives this geographical-skills page's 16 questions, drawn from 2023 to 2025 papers and worth between 8 and 30 marks. Identify, measure, describe, state and give test whether you can pull grid references, distances and features accurately from a real Ordnance Survey-style extract.
Because map-reading marks depend on exact grid squares and measurements, submit your annotated answers for instant marking to check whether your identified feature or measured distance matches the mark scheme before moving to the next fieldwork-style question.
