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!”

How do we Study English Literature Prose and Poems for exams? IGCSE
Hi Aiba,
Thanks for asking. Here’s how you can prepare for the English Literature Paper 1: Prose and Poems:
1. Set texts rotate on the syllabus regularly and may change from one examination year to the next. Please make sure that you check the set text list for the year in which you will take their examinations. You may download the subject syllabus here: https://skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/.
2. Read the assigned texts and take notes on them. You must learn how to interpret. Why did the poet do that? Why did the poet choose this meter? You should get examples (quotations) for all these points and write about their effects on the readers.
3. Practice with past exam papers. This can help you figure out where you stand and what you need to improve. We can help you get past exam papers here: https://skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/.
4. Learn from the model answers. You can see how the essays are structured and how the quotations are used in an A* answer. You can check out our English Literature model answers at https://skolatis.com/exam-model-answers/.
We hope this helps! Good luck!
Hello IGCSE team,
I had a quick question on whether we can use gel pens, or if we can only use ball point pens for the feb March series.
Thank you!
Hi,
We do not suggest using gel pens because it is often illegible when scanned. The examiners cannot mark your paper correctly. Please kindly use a ballpoint pen.
We hope this helps!
Is it possible to get u in ict igcse
Hi Nathan,
First of all, positive thoughts bring positive results. Do not let your fear of getting a “U” keep you from studying.
More often than not, this fear, not the exam’s difficulty, prevents students from achieving their goals. A very simple way to reduce fear of failure is to put in more effort to feel better prepared.
Our tip is to build your confidence by practising questions, and past papers are the best source of questions. We can help you get past exam papers by playing our Skolatis Explorer game here: https://skolatis.com/explorer/
Good luck with your exams, Nathan! We are rooting for you!

Does anyone study this subject called environmental management 0680
Hi Nathan,
One of our students shared these tips for Environmental Management (0680). You might want to check them out below:
1. You need to know the content by heart. Everything from the Lithosphere to the Biosphere should be embedded in your brain indefinitely.
2. Revise. Keep revising. You never know when you’re going to forget one crucial detail. Often in exams, we get questions from topics we neglected.
3. Past papers are your best friend — practice, practice, practice. I cannot stress this point enough. Revise and practice- that should be your cycle.
4. Definitions. The Cambridge people are a big fan of catching you by surprise. And in a subject such as EM, you need to know how to define a concept concisely. Don’t neglect these.
5. Graphs and calculations. Brush up on your math. You will get a question related to math GUARANTEED.
We hope you find this helpful. Good luck!
