How a hard geography quiz should test you

Hard geography questions usually test relationships between places, like which strait links two seas or which range forms a continental border, rather than simple name recall. A hard geography quiz works best when it is built from the exact material you are studying, because your instructor's emphasis is what shows up on the exam.

Multiple-choice questions with plausible distractors drawn from your material
True/false items that test precise claims, such as which country has the most time zones
Short-answer questions that require you to name a place or feature from memory
Explanations after every answer so each miss becomes a lesson

Example hard geography quiz questions with answers

Which country has the most time zones when overseas territories are counted?France, with 12 time zones, because its overseas territories in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans and the Americas each fall in different zones.

Which two South American countries are landlocked?Bolivia and Paraguay, because every other country on the continent has a coastline on the Atlantic or Pacific.

Which mountain range forms much of the boundary between Europe and Asia?The Ural Mountains, because they run north to south through Russia and are conventionally used as the dividing line between the two continents.

Which strait connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Morocco?The Strait of Gibraltar, because it is the narrow passage at the western end of the Mediterranean that separates Europe from Africa.

Which is the largest hot desert in the world?The Sahara, because it covers about 9.2 million square kilometers in North Africa, while Antarctica, the largest desert overall, is a cold desert.
