I’ve learned advanced things much faster than a teacher could have taught me!
“I am really enjoying Skolatis! It is very helpful. I feel that the way you teach the subjects are very helpful and aid in helping people learn more complicated things. For example I’m a lot ahead in chemistry and biology. I’ve learned many more advanced things much faster than a teacher could have taught me it. Skolatis has really helped me improve in chemistry and biology!”

Dear igcse centre,
for speaking exam in english second language candidates are should not deliver long speeches and the examiner will stop them and engage in a one way conversation, but will we lose marks if we deliver speeches?
Hi kat,
We have never heard of such incidents as ?engage in a one-way conversation?. You are free to speak on your opinions, suggestions, or anything related to the topic. The examiner will ask you further questions based on what you provide.
I wanted to know that who marks the speaking test for ESL. The school teacher or the CIE examiner?
Hi Lily,
First of all, examiners are also school teachers. Please do not think otherwise for ?examiner? 🙂
Non-coursework speaking tests are internally administered and assessed by your teachers, then externally moderated by CIE. CIE sets the format for non-coursework speaking tests and it is the same for all candidates.
Schools/exam centres must select a teacher-examiner to assess non-coursework speaking tests. This would normally be a teacher from within the relevant department at your school/Centre but could be a suitably qualified person independent of the department/Centre.
If i may ask, why is it that the specimen papers for 2017 French (0520) have been uploaded but not for the other subjects? and if you do upload them, when will you upload them by? thank you very much and great job on the website.
Hi Maryanne,
Thank you for your kind words.
Specimen papers are only available when there is a change in the syllabus. ?Specimen papers? will not be available if the syllabus remains the same.
History 0417 has many contents that are needed for paper 1 exam. To prepare for Section A in paper 1, do i have to know all the 7 core topics? I find it very difficult to remember the dates and don’t know what exactly do i need to know for the test. Please help me
Hi Amanda,
The syllabus states:
?Section A contains eight questions: four questions will be set from the 19th century Core Content in Option A and four questions will be set from the 20th century Core Content in Option B. Candidates answer any two questions.?
Since you only answer 2 questions from any Option (Option A or Option B), you can choose to concentrate your preparation in either Option. If you choose to prepare only for Option A, you need to learn all the topics in Option A. Same goes for Option B.
Please get the syllabus and find out what are the topics in each Option here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/.
However, it is customary that schools would teach both Options, and it is beneficial for your knowledge as well.
0417 is ICT not History
Heyy, has anyone had the ICT (0417) practical paper 22 or 32 (aka zone 4) ? And how was it, any difficult questions? Was it similar to 2016?

I found paper 3 difficult in the spreadsheet. but Paper 2 was soo easy.

Hi, IGCSE
I recently did my ICT practical exam. when i printed my powerpoint at first i didnt get it but got it the second time i printed, i think the invigilator might have given my papers to someone else because ive seen her give bundles of paper to people without checking the names, my name was on the paper so if that person decided to keep my paper would i be in trouble for mal practice. i didnt want to cause a fuss in the exam room so i didnt say anythng during the exam but i realised now that maybe i should have.
Hi Yousif,
It?d be best to speak to your exam officer about this.
