In a cie exam a lot of questions just require basic and common sense - that is especially true in geography. This is especially true in mapping tasks - think of the most obvious answer for these mapping papers.
Another thing to remember in an exam, especially in human geography, in PENS.
PENS stands for Political, Economic, Natural, and Social factors. These should thought of and used when having to explain reasons or factors of something occurring.
In terms of equipment, remember to bring a pencil for diagrams, eraser, pencil sharpener, a few pens (black or blue ink), a ruler, a calculator (for simple calculations), a clear bag to put your equipment in and a form of ID.
