1. A student recorded the monthly rainfall (mm) at Changi, Singapore for Jan–Jun as: 220, 150, 170, 180, 200, 160. State one suitable type of graph to show this data and give one reason. [2]

2. The table below shows average temperature (°C) at two stations.

Station	Jan	Feb	Mar
A	27	28	29
B	25	26	27

Suggest how the temperature of the two stations could be shown on one graph. [3]

Graph for Q3 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated graph for Q3.

Describe the trend shown in the graph. [2]

4. Calculate the mean monthly wind speed (km/h) from: 12, 15, 9, 14, 10. Show your working. [2]

5. A map shows housing estates as dots. Describe how you would use the map to find the nearest MRT station from a given school. [2]

Graph for Q7 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated graph for Q7.

State one similarity and one difference between the two lines. [2]

8. A survey used a Likert scale: Strongly Agree (+2), Agree (+1), Disagree (−1), Strongly Disagree (−2). 10 students chose Agree, 5 chose Strongly Disagree for "Park is clean". Calculate the net score. [2]

Section B: Map Skills (Questions 9–14) [12 marks]

9. On a topographic map, contour lines are close together. State what this indicates about the slope. [1]

10. A map has a scale of 1:25 000. Calculate the actual distance (in km) represented by 4 cm on the map. Show working. [2]

11. Study the map extract showing land use.

Map for Q11 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated map for Q11.

Give the four-figure grid reference for the industrial zone. [1]

12. Explain why a north arrow is needed on a map. [2]

13. A student uses a map to count the number of bus stops in 5 districts. State one way to present this as a graph. [2]

14. Study the map of earthquake epicentres.

Map for Q14 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated map for Q14.

Describe the spatial pattern of earthquake epicentres. [2]

15. State one advantage of using a GIS layer to show population density instead of a paper map. [2]

Section C: Data Reliability and Evaluation (Questions 16–20) [12 marks]

16. For a study where 20 students counted cars at one road for 10 minutes, evaluate whether the data collection is reliable. [4]

17. Describe how students could calculate positive and negative scores for amenities using a Likert scale (Strongly Agree +2 to Strongly Disagree −2). [2]

18. A bar graph shows energy use by sector. State two rules for drawing a correct bar graph. [2]

19. Study the table of temperature readings.

Time	8am	12pm	4pm
Temp	26	31	29

Identify the highest temperature and the time it occurred. [2]

20. A fieldwork study measured noise levels at 3 sites using a phone app on one day. Suggest two improvements to increase reliability. [2]

Answers

TuitionGoWhere Exam Practice (AI) — Geography O-Level Practice Paper Answer Key (Version 1)

Paper: Practice Paper (Map, Graph & Data Skills)
Total Marks: 40

Section A: Graph and Data Interpretation (16 marks)

1. [2 marks]

Suitable graph: Bar chart (or line graph). [1]
Reason: Bar chart compares discrete monthly values; line graph shows trend over time. [1]
Teaching note: Rainfall per month is categorical over time; either is acceptable if justified.

2. [3 marks]

Use a line graph with months on x-axis. [1]
Plot two lines, one for Station A, one for Station B. [1]
Label axes (°C, months), include legend. [1]
Teaching: Overlay lines on same axes to compare trends directly.

3. [2 marks]

Visitor numbers fell sharply in 2020, then recovered gradually to 2022. [2] (1 for drop, 1 for recovery)
From image: 19.0 → 5.5 (drop), then 8.2 → 12.4 (rise).

4. [2 marks]

Mean = (12+15+9+14+10) ÷ 5 = 60 ÷ 5 = 12 km/h. [2 for working + answer]
Answer: 12 km/h.

5. [2 marks]

Locate school symbol on map. [1]
Use straight-line or route measure to nearest MRT dot. [1]

6. [3 marks]

Use a bar chart with locations on x-axis, wind speed on y-axis. [2]
Or overlay line graph if time-series; label legend. [1]
Teaching: One combined graph, not separate.

7. [2 marks]

Similarity: Both peak around Mar–Apr (temp 30, rain 150–170). [1]
Difference: Temp decreases after Mar, rain varies independently. [1]

8. [2 marks]

Agree: 10 × (+1) = +10
Strongly Disagree: 5 × (−2) = −10
Net = +10 + (−10) = 0. [2]

Section B: Map Skills (12 marks)

9. [1 mark] Steep slope.

10. [2 marks]

Map scale 1:25 000 → 1 cm = 250 m = 0.25 km.
4 cm = 4 × 0.25 km = 1.0 km. [2]

11. [1 mark] 2150.

12. [2 marks]

Shows orientation (which way is north). [1]
Allows user to align map with ground. [1]

13. [2 marks]

Bar chart of districts (x) vs bus stop count (y). [2]

14. [2 marks]

Epicentres concentrated along plate boundaries. [1]
Especially Pacific Ring of Fire. [1]

15. [2 marks]

Can layer and query data dynamically (e.g., zoom, filter). [2]

Section C: Data Reliability and Evaluation (12 marks)

16. [4 marks]

Position: Partially reliable. [1]
Evidence: Sample short (10 min), single road, 20 observers may differ. [1]
Explanation: Short window may miss peak; many observers add variance. [1]
Qualification: 20 students give spread but no repeat days. [1]

17. [2 marks]

Assign weights: SA +2, A +1, D −1, SD −2. [1]
Multiply frequency by weight, sum per amenity. [1]

18. [2 marks]

Equal bar widths. [1]
Labelled axes and title. [1]

19. [2 marks]

Highest = 31 °C at 12pm. [2]

20. [2 marks]

Repeat on multiple days. [1]
Use calibrated sound meter, not phone. [1]
