Are the Theme 1: Population and Settlement questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Geography syllabus?

Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
