    You'll need to know 4 sketch maps - one of Ireland (showing the BMW and the GDA), two European ones (most likely France and Italy) and a sub-continental one (most likely India or Brazil)

    For each of those 5 regions you should know:
    - The physical aspects of the regions
    - A primary activity
    - A secondary activity
    - A tertiary activity
    - The development of an urban region
    - Human Processes - population, language, etc.

    Usually you'll be asked to only do one region so like if a question was "discuss the development of tertiary economic activities in a European region" you could do Paris or the Mezzogiorno, so that kind of cuts your work down a bit!

    Outside of the five regions you should also know a cultural region, a geomorphological region, a climatic region and the effects of Ireland on the expansion of the EU.

    It seems like loads but once you start going through it, it's honestly not that bad!
