The map itself, and every figure and source on it, is open to everyone. Reading case studies is free within a monthly limit, and one you have already opened never counts again. Choose a pin to see what a country has, or a day to see the map as it stood then. Choosing an exam board changes how cards are labelled and counted, never what you can read.
