2012 HKDSE Geog Exam Review 7

Summary of Comments from the

HKDSE Geog Subject Committee

� Questions (including MC items) and mark weighting on map reading in Paper 1 could be increased

� Map reading skills could be incorporated in each data­

based question in Paper 1

� More questions should be set on the interpretation of

visual data, such as maps and photographs

� Questions should be more ‘spatial-sense’ with answers

which require the quoting of evidence from visual data

� The level of difficulty of the short essay questions in

Paper 2 should be more comparable with those in Paper 1

to avoid misinterpretation.

the use of conventional signs.

� be more familiar with current issues and

not just rely on textbook knowledge.
