Anyone good here at biology? Need help for paper 1 & paper 3. My exam is on Thursday! :O
Just wanna inform those who is sitting for bio exam! There is a slight change in the syllabus. If you have the “COMPLETE BIOLOGY FOR CAMBRIDGE IGCSE” (Third Edition) by Ron Pickering, you would know what im talking about. They have added “*” to some topics like Asthmas, Hormones, Hierachy of Classification etc. Example; “Asthma*”. Also, Germination of seeds have a * on the topic.
ALL THE BEST TO ALL!!
Uhm, could you please specify what the “*” is supposed to mean. Does it means its important, newly added or not in the syllabus?
Hi, I don’t know either what it stands for. These sub topics have been in the book for a long time already but now it has a star (*) beside it’s name so I’m curious as well. I’ve asked my teachers but thy said CIE probably wants us to emphasize more on this sub topic
dude there isn’t asthma in the syllabus please double check
Hi, page 115 if you’re using the Ron pickering book. It is a subtopic under the topic Breathing. Do check 🙂
mel could u please email me a pic of the contents on saibikhan9115@gmail.com please
BTW Mel… are u damnly SURE…????!!!!??

Hello IGCSE team,
I was looking at the specimen paper for history paper 4 (depth study) tomorrow, and noticed that it consists of 2 40 mark questions…
How would you go about structuring a 40 mark essay? And what sort of things should I include to try and get as close to the 40 marks as possible?
Thank you in advance!:)

hey guyz did anyone know the question in chemistry paper 61 which asked about the smell of ethanol and ethanoic acid ??
ethanol has a strong smell, ethanoic acid has weak/no smell
Guys… it was antiseptic and vinegar-like smell
Do you need to describe what it smells like?? Also im kinda confused because my teacher said ethanoic acid on its own doesn’t have a smell :/
?? how can something not have a smell..????? even air has a smell!!!
So simple…
Ethanol – Distinctive / like petrol
Etanoic acid – pungent/ vinegary

Any tips for history paper 4?
Hey,
I am also writing History Paper 4 and am really nervous. Feel unprepared :/
I am doing Germany so i don’t know if that’ll be of use to you.
Study example essays (Stressemann years, Why did WR Survive prior to Stressemann & How Did Hitler become Chancellor in 1933?) Also, clue yourself on the Case Studies like Young People & Woman as they could ask something like Goebbels was responsible for Hitler becoming a dictator and then you compare usefulness of propaganda to other things like how they indoctrinated children, etc. to gain full power.
I did German depth study too ahahaha,,
How was your paper? Did you do question 3 or 4?
Hey,
I did Question 3 on Weimar- wasn’t expecting it to be too easy but am doubting my answer and structure LOL
Question 4 was including all the case studies and I had no time for that. History was my last exam for the day and my hand was aching by the end of it because I wrote ICT, Business & History with 1 hour breaks between each paper :/
How do you think it went?
Oh wow, what a combination!
I did question 3 as well – but I’m scared I didn’t connect many of my points back to the question.. yeah and my structure was kind of messed up. I did an alternating argument so by the end of it, it was quite confusing.
It’s so unfair they introduced these stupid 40 mark questions for our year!
Hi, any tips for biology?
any tips for business? (:
learning is pretty much the main thing to do good in business and by doing past papers you’ll know the format of writing
try this website ..it might help— https://igbusiness.blogspot.ae/?m=1
hey,
For paper 3, you definitely need to focus on the really structured topics like Reproduction and Ecology because their questions can be very intimidating!
Also, Transport is very important but their questions are fine if you know the topic very well.
There is always a question about inheritance with the cross diagram which you need to practice since it can be a bit tricky.
Nervous and respiratory system questions are also very common but they are all kinda similar only different situations.
Paper 1 is not very hard and if you study well for paper 3 then you can definitely do in well paper 1.
Right now I suggest you solve past papers and learn the answers from the marking scheme because sometimes in bio you know the answer and it is scientifically correct but your interpretation is wrong and rejected from the scheme.
Best of Luck! 😉
Thank you so much! You’ve been super helpful! Good luck!
