What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 9708 papers and filtered to relationship between countries at different levels of development. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on relationship between countries at different levels of development, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Classifying FDI or remittances as aid.
- Asserting aid is good or bad rather than stating the conditions under which it works.
- Forgetting profit repatriation when evaluating FDI, and so missing the GDP against GNI point.
- Presenting import substitution and export promotion without evaluating the record.
- Recommending only external solutions and omitting domestic reform.
- Ignoring institutions, which condition whether any policy works.
- Treating sustainability as a separate afterthought rather than a criterion applied to each policy.
Revise it first
If any of the above is unfamiliar, work through the notes before practising: Relationship Between Countries at Different Levels of Development revision notes.
