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.

hi
how to get A* in english as second language? And tips for listening exam(i am losing marks)
Hi Sadhana,
Start as early as possible. You can revise the subject from the beginning.Highlight the important facts that you think could be on the test (you should refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected during exams here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/). You can then use the past exam papers as your revision. Start with the latest papers as they have the newest syllabus format and continue with the older ones date back from 5 to 10 years. Then, revise on the most common mistakes that you always seem to make. Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Make notes and revise them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.
Listening exam tips:
– Make sure you read the introduction to each question, as this often provides clues as to what will happen in the exercise
– Anticipate who is going to speak, e.g. where the people are or what they’re going to talk about. Remember, part of the skill of listening is to be able to predict what might be said next (‘pre-listening’)
– Concentrate all the time on what you hear and make notes or underline words on the question paper to help you.
– Be aware that there will be information in the audio recordings which you hear that won’t be needed for the answer so you will need to listen carefully.

Tips:
Learn and understand the key concepts and formulas. Minimize your reference checks. Try solving a problem with the formula without looking it up. You MUST do this as many times as you can. You will be able to remember the formulas/key equations better when you repeat this step.

Hi IGCSE Centre,
I was wondering if you could gjve me tips for history paper 2(sources).
I really appreciate your help to all of the IGCSE students worldwide.
Thanks,
Saina
Hi Saina,
You have two hours to answer six questions. Try to spend about 10–15 minutes reading through the Background Information, all of the sources and your six questions before you attempt to answer the questions. Make sure you have at least 30 minutes saved to answer Question 6. This will leave you about an hour to complete the other five source questions.
For Questions 1-5, make sure you only answer the questions set and do not waste time just describing details in the sources as this will not gain you any additional marks. Question 6 is a ‘How far…?’ type question. Look through all of the sources and decide which ones support or don’t support the statement in the question (some will do both). You need to use source details to give a balanced explanation and judgement.
All questions will ask you to use details from the sources to explain your answer, so make sure you describe the details or quote from a source as evidence in your answer. Most questions will also ask you to use your own knowledge to explain your answer and to put the sources into
context. Make sure you can give relevant facts or examples that relate to the source(s) you are asked to study. Make sure you refer to the source details when answering source questions so you provide evidence for your analysis and evaluations.

Hi IGCSE Centre ,
I have my accounting exam on 17 May and 23 May , Please Guide me ..
Thank You
Hi Divanshu,
With Accounting, you’ll need a lot of practice.
1. Learn and understand the key concepts and formulas. Familiarise/memorise the key equations/formulas (refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/).
2. Do revision based on the latest syllabus and practice with the latest past exam papers. Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Make notes and revise them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.
Tips:
– Make sure that you use the information given in the question. The data provided is there for a purpose.
– Use accounting terminology in your answers as much as possible.
– Plan your answers. If ledger accounts or financial statements are required, think carefully about how these should be presented before you attempt to actually write your answer. If the question is a theory question, think about the points you need to include. Plan the order of your answer so that it is clear, concise and not repetitive. Quality is better than quantity.
– When you are asked to comment on some figures, results or ratios do not simply repeat these figures. You are expected to interpret these figures and results and use them to support any recommendations or advice
Hello, IGCSE Team
Which grades are considered high and acceptable to acquire the top universities?
Thank you!
Hello Henry,
Each university has their own set of entry requirements. It is best to check with the university directly.
hello IGCSE centre
I have been extremely confused as to how many papers I would have to write in my IGCSE exams for accounting (0452) and I would be very grateful if you cleared my confusion. Also, I really appreciate what your website does for IGCSE students and how your team takes the time to reply to every comment a student makes and I sincerely hope that you find a way to upload resources again.
thankyou
Hi Shreya,
Thank you for your kind words. There is a compulsory combination of papers needed for each subject and each combination has a different option code. Please consult your teacher / exam centre properly, before you make any mistake.
Alternatively, you may check your administrative zone here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-exam-schedules/, to find out your variant code. Then download the syllabus here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/, to know the combination you want.
