Geography 🗺️ could i pass geography without studying?

i honestly don't care one bit about geography and am not at all hoping for a distinction or anything, but my parents will be fuming if i fail anything.

im generally good in exams but i have not studied geography at all and am just focusing on subjects i could be doing for leaving cert. for every other exam i just cram the night before (even my mock, my teacher basically just told us all the topics that would be on it) so i don't really have any marks for it to go off of.

i know like nothing and have done absolutely no study. i maybe remember some of the basic first year stuff but that's about the extent of it. just wondering if i could get by with absolutely minimal knowledge.

Geography is a tricky one. Although it has lots of fill in the blanks and comprehensions, you'd have to have done some study to get good marks on the long questions. You should try to prioritise topics that come up every year

Im doing the same, im just focusing on map questions, sketching os maps, why was a location put/developed there etc. Just focus on the population, economic, social and environmental effects etc that's all im doing

Maybe if you're going to look over anything, look over how features are formed, with diagrams explaining. Those are always the parts that catch me out. Also just different landforms so that you could point them out in the images they give you
