Myanmar Matriculation Geography study plan

Define and correctly use the core physical geography terms (lithosphere, plate boundary, weathering, erosion, deposition, monsoon, cyclone) in written sentences

Sketch a labelled cross-section of the internal structure of the Earth and annotate each layer with one characteristic

Explain the three plate-boundary types (divergent, convergent, transform) and give one landform associated with each

Read a simple contour map and state the height, slope direction and gradient between two marked points

Convert map scale statements between representative fraction, verbal and linear forms for three different scales

Describe the processes of weathering, erosion and deposition and classify five given examples under the correct process

Compare the formation of river, coastal and glacial landforms using a three-column table

Explain how latitude, altitude, distance from the sea and prevailing winds shape temperature and rainfall patterns

Draw and label the global pressure and wind belts and link them to the Asian monsoon

Distinguish between weather and climate and between a cyclone and an anticyclone with one Myanmar example each

Interpret climate graphs by reading monthly temperature and rainfall values and naming the climate type

Explain the causes and consequences of floods, landslides and cyclones in tropical regions

Practise reading a topographic map to identify settlement, drainage and transport features and record them in a legend

Answer three short structured physical geography questions under timed conditions (10 minutes each)

Self-mark timed answers against a checklist of required points and list two recurring weaknesses

Define population terms (birth rate, death rate, natural increase, density, dependency ratio) and calculate each from given data

Interpret a population pyramid and infer the level of development it suggests

Describe the push and pull factors driving rural-to-urban migration in Myanmar

Locate Myanmar's major cities, rivers and regions on a blank outline map from memory

Explain how agriculture, forestry and mining shape settlement patterns in Myanmar

Classify economic activities into primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors with two Myanmar examples per sector

Compare subsistence and commercial farming and explain the inputs, processes and outputs of rice cultivation

Explain the causes and effects of urbanisation in Yangon and Mandalay

Describe the distribution of Myanmar's major crops and mineral resources and account for the pattern

Evaluate the opportunities and challenges of tourism and industry in Myanmar in a balanced paragraph

Describe Myanmar's location, extent, neighbouring countries and coastline with accurate figures

Relate Myanmar's relief and drainage (the Ayeyarwady, Chindwin, Thanlwin and Sittang) to agriculture and transport

Explain the causes and effects of the monsoon cycle on Myanmar's rainfall and cropping calendar

Analyse a thematic map of Myanmar to describe a spatial pattern and suggest reasons for it

Answer two structured regional questions using map evidence and specific place names

Interpret photographs and cross-sections to identify landforms and human features and justify each identification

Draw a cross-section from a contour map and describe the terrain it represents

Practise the full range of map skills: grid references, bearings, distance, gradient, area and relief description

Review physical geography weak points identified in week 3 and re-answer two missed question types

Complete a 45-minute mixed skills paper under exam conditions

Sit two full-length mock papers under timed conditions and record scores by domain

Review every error and write a corrected model answer for the five highest-value mistakes

Consolidate case-study facts for Myanmar (crops, rivers, cities, resources) into a one-page recall sheet

Rehearse structured-answer technique: command words, point-per-mark structure and time allocation

Plan exam-day strategy including time budget per section and order of attempt
