Jun 2025Difficulty 3.8/5

June 2025 H481/01, /02 and /03 together assess 240 written-exam marks in 330 minutes. The chart route follows Coastal Landscapes, Global Migration, Human Rights, Climate Change and Hazardous Earth, with Q11 and Q19 used as representative essay choices. Extended essays account for 130 marks; precise resource use, causal explanation and explicit synoptic links support the remaining tasks. Difficulty is estimated, and pitfalls are inferred from the attached mark schemes because no examiner-performance report is supplied. The historical data supports recurring chapter coverage but no defensible overdue-topic claim.
