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!”

when will February March papers 2021 be available???
Hello Johana,
We do not have a fixed date as to when it will be available. It can be anytime after the results are released.
Thank you for your understanding.
I would like to ask you how to plan for a perfect timetable for IGCSE that’s in 2 months. I need your help. In order to achieve A*
Hello Sara,
We usually suggest students to start their revision at least 5 months before their exams so they will have sufficient time to cover everything.
Since you only have 2 months before your exams, here’s what we can suggest:
1. Work out how much time you have before each examination. You may download the exam timetable here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-exam-schedules/
2. Draw up a study timetable and block in all activities, classes, and any household or other responsibilities you may have. Include meal times and travel time. BE REALISTIC. This should be an actual timetable, which is possible, not some ideal that can never be achieved.
3. Estimate how many hours you think you need for each subject and try to match it with the hours available in your planner. Be honest with yourself about how much time you can really spend on each subject and topic.
4. Plan each study session in detail. Write down which topic you will be reviewing. This way, you can ensure that you will cover all the required information in the times you have allocated. Consider: What do I want to achieve in this session? (Refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected for each subject. https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/)
5. Include doing past paper examinations in your plan. Simulate the test environment by turning off your phone and isolating yourself in your classroom or in the library, and give yourself only the amount of time you will be allotted during the actual test. Download past exam papers here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/.
6. It is important to have breaks in order to stay alert and productive, so make sure you: include one rest day per week, or break this up into shorter rest breaks across a week include at least two hours of rest before bed time; working too late is unlikely to be productive.
7. Start using your study timetable. See how well it works. It can be changed as you go, but do this consciously: look at what is not working, which areas you need more time in and change the timetable. This is much better than just throwing the timetable away. Then you can be sure that you will still cover all the material you need to.
We hope these tips will help you when you create your own study timetable.
Dear IGCSE Centre,
I’m really confused…
It says on your website that by Late June(around the end of June) the certificates for the candidates writing the MARCH 2021 series will come…
But I just got a mail from MY SCHOOL that the certificates will come in the middle of April….
HOW??
P.S. Can you attach a link that leads to their website on the news on “Certificate Issuement” for ONLY THE MARCH 2021 Series…
P.P.S Because I couldn’t find it on their website….
Hello Anushia,
According to CAIE’s website, March 2021 certificates will be released by late of June. Please kindly refer to this page: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/Images/183437-key-dates-india-march-2021.pdf
Thank you.
Hello IGCSE,
Do you plan on expanding and including IB papers and resources as well?
There are not too many websites available as of now so it would definitely help
Thank you,
Alaina
Hello Alaina,
Thank you for writing in.
We will send your suggestion for review.
Hi,
As for science subjects, could I just take combined science or have to take Physics, Biology and Chemistry
Hi Elena,
Science – Combined (0653) gives learners the opportunity to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics, each covered in separate syllabus sections. It is a single award qualification, earning one grade.
On the other hand, if you take the separate sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) you will earn three grades and it will enable you to enrol into a wider range of courses in the university later.
It is best that you inquire with your chosen university and check the subject entry requirements in accordance to what you want to pursue for further studies.
Dear IGCSE
I have an Additional maths test on Monday. In most questions on the paper candidates end up with a quadratic equation for examples on question like finding points of intersections. I wanted to ask if we are required show the use of solving quadratic techniques like quadratic formula to avoid losing marks for insufficient working or we could directly factorise and write down the x values and lose no marks till it’s correct?
Thank you
Hello Anay,
One of the common mistakes made by the students is not showing sufficient working for the solution of the quadratic equation.
As such, you must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for answers provided without evidence of how you reached them. Your working allows you to demonstrate that you know the required mathematical methods to get the answer, and shows that you haven’t just used a calculator to get the final result.
We hope this helps and we wish you well with your exams.
Dear IGCSE Centre,
I’m wondering if I got
–> 65 out of 80 in my THEORY
–> 15 out of 40 in my ATP
—-> x out of 40 in my MCQs
How much should I get approximately to get an A OR A* ??
There’s no need of referring to any Grade Thresholds…
Please just give an ESTIMATE or AVERAGE
Hello Anushia,
We cannot speculate it because each year has different marks for each grade.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
Hello IGCSE team what subjects am I supposed to take if I want to become a teacher?
Hello Elena,
Thank you for writing in.
A good guideline is to take English, Maths, and Science subjects. Furthermore, you should also consider what will be your subject specialisation when you pursue your teaching career. For example, if you want to teach English, you might consider also taking English Literature as the two subjects have considerable overlap.
It is also best that you confirm the subject entry requirements from your preferred university.
Yes, I want to become an English teacher, but is it necessary for me to take literature.
Hi Elena,
It is good to consider taking Literature as English and Literature have considerable overlap. But we strongly suggest that you check with your chosen university. In this way, you would have 100% confirmation on their subject entry requirements.
