Assessment, coursework and exam preparation in IGCSE Geography

By February, year-1 teachers of the new Cambridge IGCSE Geography 0460/0976 syllabus are on the run-in to the May 2027 examinations and the mocks that precede them. The assessment structure has changed in ways that matter, and so have the demands on the students sitting it.

The first of two 90-minute sessions tackles what has changed between the 2026 and 2027 assessment structures. Matt and Jonathan unpack the 5- and 7-mark evaluative questions, the decision-making exercise style questions, and the subtle differences between 7-mark questions in Part A and Part B of both papers, with strategies for helping students understand what each one is actually asking.

The second session turns to the bigger picture. Discover how to read assessment under the revised 0460/0976, how to teach for exam success without narrowing the course, and how to design effective revision programmes that fit the new syllabus rather than retrofitting the old one.

Leave with a clear-eyed view of the new assessment, strategies for teaching to it, and revision designs that hold up under exam-week pressure.
