When I studied geography, I was a mess at first. But you should read more maps, some rivers and mountains. Don't learn by rote, just remember the geographical location and know who is next to whom.
Everyone who is the best in the world must recite it, and it is not difficult to recite it. It involves common sense of life.
As for practice, some are difficult and some are easy, but it will be easy when the exam is really unified, so don't worry.
Remember the outline of the world and the continent. When you specialize in the geography of China, those provinces will be more difficult. Referred to as administrative center, specialty and climate. Read more about these.
You should buy a map from now on, read it more if you have nothing to do (although it is boring), read it before and after bed, and accumulate it with geography books. When you learn later, you will find that you are a little impressed.
