Accessible Format GL3 Papers for Human and Environmental Geology

This collection provides the enlarged print versions of the GL3 Human and Environmental Geology papers. Formatted in A4 with 18-point font, these papers contain the same questions as the standard edition but are designed for candidates with visual access requirements. The engineering geology, hydrogeology, resource extraction, and hazard assessment content is identical to the standard papers. Diagrams and data tables are reproduced at larger scale, which can make geological cross-sections and site investigation data easier to read. Five enlarged print papers are available from multiple examination sessions.

Preparing with Enlarged Print Format for GL3 Examinations

If you will sit the examination using enlarged print materials, practise exclusively with these papers to become familiar with the page layout. The larger font and expanded diagrams mean that figure numbers and page references differ from the standard version, so knowing where to find specific data quickly avoids wasted time. The enlarged diagrams can actually be beneficial for geological cross-sections and site investigation data, as fine details — lithological boundaries, fault traces, borehole logs — are easier to trace at the larger scale. Use this advantage to annotate directly on the resource material during practice. The content and marking criteria are identical to the standard GL3 paper. All engineering geology, hydrogeology, and hazard assessment revision applies equally regardless of print format.
