How to Study CASE STUDIES

Case Study Strategy (Very Important)

For 6–7 mark questions.

Memorise 4–5 facts per case study:

• location

• 2 causes

• 2 impacts

• 1 response/solution

For an 8–10 mark question:

You do NOT need to memorise more facts.

Instead:

• develop the same facts slightly more

• add 1 extra point if possible

So your case study should roughly include:

• Location

• 3 causes (push/pull)

• 3 impacts

• 1 response

Geography Trick Most Students Miss

IGCSE Geography answers score marks when they include:

Point → Explain → Example

Example:

• Deforestation increases surface runoff

• Because fewer trees intercept rainfall

• This increases flood risk in the Amazon Basin
