Constructions and loci questions require students to use a compass and straightedge to construct perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors and loci. These questions test precision and understanding of geometric properties.
Our tutors see these errors again and again. Knowing them in advance gives you a head start.
Rubbing out construction arcs (they must be left visible for marks)
Setting the compass to the wrong width
Not keeping the compass width consistent throughout the construction
This topic is tested by the following exam boards. Our tutors are specialists in each one.
Angle facts are fundamental to geometry and regularly appear across all papers. Students must apply rules about angles on straight lines, at points, in triangles, in parallel lines and in polygons to find missing angles with clear reasoning.
Geometry & MeasuresArea and perimeter calculations cover rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezia and circles. Compound shapes combine these, and higher-tier questions involve sectors and segments of circles.
Geometry & MeasuresPythagoras' theorem relates the three sides of a right-angled triangle and is one of the most practical geometry topics at GCSE. It is used in 2D and 3D problems, coordinate geometry, and combined with trigonometry at higher tier.
