How Zen IQ helps with Geography
Papers written in the Edexcel style for Geography, with a mark scheme, marked part by part, crediting an error carried forward the way a real examiner does.
Every topic below turns strong, shaky or weak from your marks and flashcards, so you can see where marks are going. A target test aims straight at the weakest.
Talk a topic through out loud with Zehan or Maya. They answer in a second, you can cut in, and they write it on a board as they explain.
Any topic taught in about four minutes as an animated lesson, or drawn as a mind map where every idea leads to a lesson, a quiz or a call.
Cards that come back just before you would forget them, and study guides in three lengths, ready to print or download for Word.
