11. Practising with Past Paper Questions | 真题练习
Allocate one entire session to completing a past CAIE Geography Year 7 paper under timed conditions. This helps you get familiar with the command words such as ‘describe’, ‘explain’, ‘compare’ and ‘evaluate’. Remember that ‘explain’ requires you to give reasons, not just state what you see.
安排一个完整的时段，在限时条件下完成一套CAIE七年级地理往年试卷。这有助于你熟悉“描述”、“解释”、“比较”和“评价”等指令词。记住，“解释”要求你给出原因，而不仅仅是陈述所看到的现象。
After completing the paper, check your answers against the mark scheme. Identify any themes where you lost marks and plan a targeted mini-revision session to close those knowledge gaps.
完成试卷后，对照评分标准检查答案。找出任何失分的主题，并规划有针对性的小规模复习，以填补这些知识空白。
12. Self-Testing and Active Recall | 自我测试与主动回忆
Use flashcards to test yourself on key vocabulary. Write the term on one side (e.g., ‘levees’) and the definition on the other. Spend 15 minutes each evening going through the stack, separating cards you know well from those you do not. Review the difficult pile more frequently.
使用闪卡进行关键词汇的自我测试。一面写术语（如“天然堤”），另一面写定义。每晚花15分钟翻阅这些卡片，将你熟悉的卡片与不熟悉的卡片分开。更频繁地复习那堆有困难的卡片。
Try a blank-page recall exercise. Choose a topic like ‘Settlement’, close your book and write down everything you can remember in five minutes. Afterwards, check your notes and use a different coloured pen to add any missing details. This technique powerfully strengthens neural connections.
尝试空白页回忆练习。选择一个主题如“聚落”，合上书，用五分钟写下你能记住的一切。之后，检查笔记，用不同颜色的笔补充遗漏的细节。这种技巧能强有力地强化神经连接。
