What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 9708 papers and filtered to globalisation. 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 globalisation, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Treating globalisation as uniformly good or bad rather than separating winners from losers.
- Forgetting profit repatriation and the GDP against GNI gap.
- Omitting effects on the home country entirely.
- Confusing FDI with aid, or with portfolio investment, which is the purchase of financial assets rather than productive capacity.
- Asserting a race to the bottom without acknowledging that many countries have raised standards while integrating.
- Ignoring the time asymmetry between concentrated adjustment costs and dispersed gains.
