Global Location

Not much this time for the Common Entrance candidates. You are going to learn the whole CE global Location list. If you have misplaced your sheet, another copy can be found here.

You need to be able to locate each of the features on a map so I have stuck in a couple of blank ones to help you.


Remember: You can only be asked questions based upon this list in the final paper but there is no harm in knowing  little more!
