Quite easy mostly but the water resource management question was a bit ****. Some people also wrote about bottom up instead of top down case studies for changing cities so grade boundaries should be lower 🙏

like i was meant to write a different one i studied but both were like from the same topic. Basically, the one i was meant to write was the true case study of the question but i wrote the one that still relates but isn't the one the questions requires

The examiner isn't going to know which case study you did, so as long as you wrote about it well, you should be fine

I personally found paper 1 easier but I think they were about the same level of difficulty

what were the questions in the paper?

Majority are maths questions and 3 markers where you refer to a figure, case study for section A was to evaluate both goods and bads of rapid growth in a named developing/emerging country; section B was to talk about your core and pheriphery reasons for uneven development (maharashtra and bihar) and section C was the same 8 marker as last year as it asked for how a developed country tried to manage their energy resources (Germany). There was a 3 marker about congestion charging and how that imrpoves quality of life, state two factors of the location of a named develping/emergin city etc
