GCSE Case Study Questions - LIC Cities

Case study questions are a key part of Paper 2.
These questions are usually worth between 6 and 9 marks. If you can do them well you can pick up serious marks.
The key to this sort of question is to develop your answers by explaining what you mean and to use case studies. Use an example even when the question doesn't ask for one - this should be your standard approach. Examiners are particularly looking for evidence that you really know about the place you're writing about. This means it's important to be able to match case studies to each question.
You could go through each question and write an answer for it. Another way of using these questions is to decide how you'd answer each one by brainstorming points. Make sure you can use at least one good case study per question.
