My son achieved a Grade A in his AL exam!
“My son, an international student from Hong Kong, used their resources two years ago and successfully passed his English IGCSE. Last year, he took the newly offered Biology AL course and achieved a Grade A in his AL exam this summer! Now, he is on the path to his ideal university, and we are immensely grateful for all that Skolatis has done. They are truly wonderful people, from customer service to the tutors, and we can’t thank them enough!”

Hi IGCSE Team,
I‘ve previously taken my IGCSE final exams in may/june 2019 and due to covid + financial crisis, I could not study further so I took a break (a mistake unfortunately). I’ve done my research on AS + A levels as well as other things and wish to take 3 subjects: Math, Physics & Computer Science but… I really need your advice and assistance as I have some doubts:
1. Can I take the oct/nov 2021 exam series rather than the may/june 2021 one?
2. Any advice can you give me for studying these subjects at home? (as I want to put in my best efforts and achieve good grades).
3. Any resources that can help me with studying these subjects by my self?
Thanks in advance!
Hello there,
Thank you for writing in. Please kindly read our answers below:
1. It is best that you register for the exams only when you are ready. Typically, the whole A Level syllabus takes roughly 1-2 years to finish. So you must make good plans to follow through and cover all the subjects.
2. You can start your exam preparations by going through the syllabus and learn what is expected of you during the exams. We also cannot stress enough the importance of practicing past exam papers. Start with the latest paper as they have the newest syllabus format and continue with the older one date back from 5 to 10 years. Then, revise on the most common mistake you always seem to make.
3. Here are some resources you can find on our site:
Syllabus: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-international-as-a-level-syllabuses/

how to draw a worst acceptable straight line?
Hello there,
Careless, rushed plotting can lose several marks. It is suggested that you take your time, and always use a ruler to complete graphs and measure straight line distances.

Hello there,

Heyo! My Physics Practical exam is coming up on the 6th of this October and I just wanted to know if you had any last-minute tips for me. Thank you so much for this website cause it really did help with the past papers especially when I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I hope all the other students do well in their exams as well!
Hello PC,
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Here are some Paper 6 tips:
– Read the questions through very carefully to ensure that you are answering the question as written, and not simply recalling the answer to a different question which may be similar.
– Follow instructions correctly, record measurements clearly and perform calculations accurately and correctly.
– Be ready to apply your practical knowledge to unusual situations. Your ideas must be expressed logically and derive conclusions from given experimental data and you must be able to justify them.
– When writing the outline for an investigation, answer these questions with careful reading of the brief and the logical application of experimental practice.

Alrighty thank you! I will look into purchasing that! I meant Paper 3 of the physics subject but either one works I guess your tips were still helpful. Thank you very much!
It’s the same thing 🙂
