Flashcards for Pearson Edexcel GCSE Geography A (1GA0), split into the three components and then by topic in the specification's order, with the coastal, river and glaciated upland options and the energy and water options each in their own subdeck. Case studies use a well known real example and say that your school may study a different one. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course does not cover once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
