Section A: Data Representation and Basic Interpretation (Questions 1–7) [21 marks]
1. The students collected the average monthly rainfall at four weather stations (A, B, C, D) in Singapore for one year. Suggest how the average monthly rainfall at the four stations could be shown on one graph. [3]
2. Study the table below showing the number of tourists visiting a resort island in 2024.
| Month | Tourists (000s) |
|---|---|
| Jan | 12 |
| Feb | 15 |
| Mar | 18 |
| Apr | 22 |
| May | 25 |
State the type of graph most suitable to show the trend and give one reason. [2]
3. A field study recorded the temperature (°C) at 2 m, 10 m, and 20 m above ground at a park. Describe how this data could be displayed on a single line graph. [3]
4. Look at the bar chart described below.
Image pending generation: bar_chart for 4.
State the decade with the highest number of cyclones and the value. [2]
5. The students measured wind speed (km/h) at 3 coastal sites. Suggest why a pie chart would be unsuitable for showing wind speed change over a day. [2]
6. Study the map extract below.
Image pending generation: map for 6.
Identify the amenity located closest to the north of point R. [1]
7. A survey used a Likert scale: Strongly Agree (+2), Agree (+1), Disagree (−1), Strongly Disagree (−2). 10 students answered Agree and 5 answered Disagree for "Park is clean". Calculate the net score. [2]
Section B: Data Analysis and Reliability (Questions 8–14) [21 marks]
8. Using the line graph described:
Image pending generation: line_graph for 8.
Describe the trend shown by line X from 0800 to 1300. [2]
9. The students collected litter count data at 5 locations using 10-minute surveys. Evaluate whether this data collection is reliable. [4]
10. Study the table of visitor numbers to two museums.
| Museum | Weekday avg | Weekend avg |
|---|---|---|
| A | 120 | 300 |
| B | 90 | 210 |
Calculate the percentage increase from weekday to weekend for Museum A. [2]
11. A map shows earthquake epicentres along a plate boundary.
Image pending generation: map for 11.
Describe the spatial pattern of earthquake distribution. [3]
12. Students measured noise level (dB) at 4 sites at 3 times. Suggest a suitable graph to compare all sites and times. [3]
13. From the rainfall table in Q2, calculate the mean monthly tourists (000s). [2]

Section C: Advanced Data Skills (Questions 15–20) [18 marks]
15. The students scored amenities using: Positive = (Strongly Agree×2)+(Agree×1); Negative = (Disagree×1)+(Strongly Disagree×2). For "Sports Hall": SA=8, A=10, D=4, SD=2. Calculate positive and negative scores. [2]
16. Study the climate graph below.
Image pending generation: graph for 16.
State the two months with highest rainfall and describe temperature trend. [3]
17. A study used 20 questionnaires at one mall to assess shopping satisfaction. Evaluate reliability. [4]
18. Describe how to use a scatter graph to show relation between distance from city and rent ($). [3]
19. From Q11 map, if 12 of 15 quakes are within 50 km of boundary, what % is that? [2]
20. Students collected data on 3 rivers: width, depth, velocity. Suggest how to show all on one graph for comparison. [4]

Answer Key — TuitionGoWhere Exam Practice (AI) Geography O-Level Practice Paper (Version 4)
Topic: Map, Graph & Data Skills
Total Marks: 60
Section A
1. [3 marks]
Answer: Use a line graph or grouped bar chart with months on x-axis and rainfall on y-axis; plot 4 lines/bars for stations A–D with legend.
Teaching: Continuous monthly data compared across 4 sites → line graph shows trends; bar chart compares discrete values. Must label axes (months, rainfall mm), include units, legend.
Marking: 1 mark graph type, 1 mark single graph with all stations, 1 mark labelling/legend.
2. [2 marks]
Answer: Line graph; reason: shows trend over time (months).
Teaching: Time-series data → line graph best. 1 mark type, 1 mark reason.
3. [3 marks]
Answer: Single line graph, x-axis height (2,10,20 m), y-axis temp °C, 3 lines for each height with legend.
Teaching: Comparing same variable at different heights → overlay lines. Marks: 1 graph type, 1 all on one, 1 labels.
4. [2 marks]
Answer: 2020s, 11 cyclones.
Teaching: Read tallest bar from placeholder. 1 mark decade, 1 mark value.
5. [2 marks]
Answer: Pie chart shows proportion at one time, not change over time; wind speed over day is time-series.
Teaching: 1 mark pie unsuitable for trend, 1 mark reason time-series.
6. [1 mark]
Answer: (Based on placeholder: if T is north of R) T (bus stop).
Teaching: Read map relative position.
7. [2 marks]
Working: Agree 10×1=10; Disagree 5×−1=−5; Net=10−5=+5.
Answer: +5.
Teaching: Apply weights, sum. 1 mark calc, 1 mark final.
Section B
8. [2 marks]
Answer: Line X increases steadily from 26°C (0800) to 32°C (1300).
Teaching: Read values, state rise. 1 mark trend, 1 mark values.
9. [4 marks]
Answer: Partially reliable. Evidence: 10-min surveys short, 5 locations small sample. But standardised time reduces bias. Counter: more sites needed.
Teaching: Position (1), evidence method (2), qualification (1).
10. [2 marks]
Working: (300−120)/120×100 = 150%.
Answer: 150%.
Teaching: % increase formula. 1 mark calc, 1 mark answer.
11. [3 marks]
Answer: Earthquakes clustered along plate boundary line; linear pattern; most within close distance.
Teaching: Describe spatial. 1 mark cluster, 1 mark along boundary, 1 mark pattern.
12. [3 marks]
Answer: Grouped bar chart: x-axis sites, 3 bars per site for times, legend for times.
Teaching: Compare categories. 1 type, 1 all shown, 1 labels.
13. [2 marks]
Working: (12+15+18+22+25)/5 = 92/5 = 18.4.
Answer: 18.4 (000s).
Teaching: Mean = sum/n.
14. [4 marks]
Answer: Photo shows real detail (buildings use) but limited extent; map shows distribution clearly but not detail. Both useful, photo less reliable for area.
Teaching: Position (1), photo strength (1), map strength (1), trade-off (1).
Section C
15. [2 marks]
Working: Pos = 8×2 + 10×1 = 26; Neg = 4×1 + 2×2 = 8.
Answer: Positive 26, Negative 8.
16. [3 marks]
Answer: Apr (200mm), Nov (220mm); temp steady ~27–28°C.
Teaching: Read dual axis. 1 mark months, 2 marks temp desc.
17. [4 marks]
Answer: Low reliability: 20 questionnaires small, one mall not representative. But focused. Need larger sample.
Teaching: As template 2.
18. [3 marks]
Answer: Scatter graph, x distance, y rent, plot points, look for correlation.
Teaching: 1 type, 1 axes, 1 use.
19. [2 marks]
Working: 12/15×100 = 80%.
Answer: 80%.
20. [4 marks]
Answer: Use small multiples or grouped bar with river on x, 3 bars (width, depth, velocity) but diff units need normalisation; or 3 separate panels. Best: 3 line graphs with normalised index.
Teaching: 1 mark identify issue units, 2 marks method, 1 mark labelling.
