How to do well

  1. Learn the command wordsCambridge mark schemes reward the exact command word: state, describe, explain, calculate. Practise answering to the command, not just the topic.
  2. Start before it becomes urgentRegular lessons from the start of term cost less and work better than a rush in the weeks before the exam.

Frequently asked questions

Is IGCSE the same as GCSE?

No. GCSE follows the English national curriculum and is set by AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Cambridge IGCSE is an international qualification with its own syllabuses and exam series. The level is similar.

Core or Extended: which should I take?

Extended is needed for the top grades and is the usual choice for students planning A Level or IB in the same subject. Your teacher decides the entry, and a tutor can help you reach the level for Extended.
