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!”

Hello IGCSE centre,
one more question!
I actually want to ask you about Cambridge outstanding learner award, which is awarded to candidates showing excellences in a specific subject, or over a range of curricula, the point is though, I want to know how helpful is this in getting into Ivy league colleges, and what is my chance of actually getting one, I work hard and during school exams (which use past papers) I am at the top notch (97-100 ) in all subjects (except English, which I don’t mind much, as I am a science student) but I get that feeling that I wont be able to get the award (as well as getting pressure from my environment) like could you tell me some tips on how to get one (but please don’t remind me with your respective revision classes, which I can’t apply for some circumstances) and what is the minimum mark you think is needed for getting a top in the world award.
Sorry if this comment is painful to read, but I had to ask that some expert agent, and I would appreciate faster moderation and response.
Yours faithfully,
Diram
Hi Diram,
First of all, do not call ourselves an expert agent 🙂 We?re just here to provide advice and assistance to students & parents as much as we could.
The IGCSE Learner Award is to recognise exceptional learner achievement in Cambridge examinations around the world. The primary purpose of these awards is to celebrate and recognise the success of high-performing Cambridge learners. You can read more here: https://www.cie.org.uk/cambridge-for/teachers/outstanding-cambridge-learner-awards/
While getting the Learner Award will give you some brownie points, it does not make it easier to apply to any top universities, especially Cambridge or any Ivy League universities. This is because, these universities, sometimes, require more than just impressive grades. You will need to check with the universities on their admission requirement.
Good day I hope you well… When will we have the May/June 2017 IGCSE 0417 ICT paper available online

Dear IGCSE centre,
I would like to know, what will happen if I write an answer correct but not included in Marking Scheme?
Hi Lily,
If you refer to the abbreviations used, i.e.: AW ? alternative wording (accept other ways of expressing the same idea); AVP ? any valid point; then cross check with the mark scheme ? you will see if they accept the exact same answer or any correct answers as long as it?s valid.

Dear Igcse center
Will we be penalized if we give answers to more than 3 significant figures in the igcse extended math board exam?
Rishi
Hi Rishi,
Please follow the instructions in the questions. Usually, it is not more than 3 significant figures.
Do you loose points if you put 4 significant figures?
Hi Sara,
While we’re not sure which subject you’re referring to, always refer to the instructions and what the questions want you to do. You can refer to the instructions in the past exam papers or mark scheme for some guidelines.
