2.3 Processing and Presenting Evidence
Process quantitative and qualitative evidence, choose effective presentations and reference sources accurately.
How to study WJEC GCSE Geography
Move from place and process to mapped or numerical evidence, explain inter-relationships across scale, and finish with a supported geographical judgement.
Core concepts
Concept 1
2.3.1 Distance, mean, median, mode, range, percentages and other suitable processing
Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC unit, numbered content area, geographical scale, named context and assessment form before selecting evidence.
Concept 2
2.3.2 Strengths, weaknesses and selection of maps, graphs, transcripts, field sketches and photographs
Exam cue: Choose a calculation or presentation because it makes the expected pattern visible, then supply accurate conventions, units and source details.
Concept 3
2.3.3 Appropriate secondary-data presentation, vested interest, citation and bibliography
Exam cue: Use mapped, numerical, graphical, fieldwork or source evidence to explain process and inter-relationship, then make a scale- and context-aware judgement.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Using a visually impressive graph or map whose scale, variables or design cannot reveal the relationship being investigated.
Guardrail: Do not import legacy or Eduqas structures, invent an option split or make claims that exceed the named evidence and assessment controls.
Importing the legacy WJEC 3110 structure, an Eduqas option pattern or an England 9-1 grading convention.
Guardrail: Do not import legacy or Eduqas structures, invent an option split or make claims that exceed the named evidence and assessment controls.
Treating an annual Unit 2 theme, local example or Unit 4 Resource Pack as a separate qualification or a compulsory option for every learner.
Guardrail: Use one centre-selected theme valid for the submission year; do not split themes into separate qualifications or replace the live Assessment Pack with guidance examples.
