IGCSE Geography

[valentinainfj]

Hi everyone,
I'm an italian girl and I'm studying for IGCSEs as a private candidate.
For Geography I already have the Cambridge coursebook, but I read on the CIE website that they endorse a lot of atlases as well.
My question is: do I need to buy an atlas? If yes, how do you use it? And for what exactly?

you do not need the book for exams. But it helps in knowing where countries are and the oceans. also the tallest mountains, etc. In paper 4 you should be able to read the different maps and know how to interpret them, maps will help greatly to develop this skill.
