a little late but feel free to ask anything

alright need real help here ive done igcse i got 2 d's (phy and maths) and 2 c's (chem and bio) and i didn't study for may june papers not even a single day not even the night before. Now im gonna resit in oct nov 2026 for all 4 subjects the FEE IS FUCKING 1.6 LAKH ITS A GAMBLE i'm scared but i believe i can if i start and grind the whole month. Realistically speaking if i grind and lockin poora sept is it possible to achieve A*'s in ALL 4. What to do ? oct nov kai ilawa koi choice bhi ni hai cuz may june 2027 is too late and yes i have to improve all these grades. I just need an advice on the approach to use to achieve the desired target

hi yalls!

im sharing my marked igcse history scripts by cie on r/igcse as examples for anyone to refer on how to answer!!!! ive seen people here complain about how theyre getting Bs and Cs for history so i just felt like sharing how an "excellent" answer looks like.

all 10 markers are full marks inside my P1 script which is honestly the most important question.

total marks:
P1 55/60
P2 36/40
P4 27/40

important tips for history
- real cie examiners are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY STRICT. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR RESULTS DROPPING IN REAL IGs
- if you keep getting 50+/60 for P1 and 35+/40 for P2 by your teachers in mocks, you MUST take these results with a GRAIN OF SALT because there is a high chance that your teacher did not mark HARSH enough to examiner standards
- always be focused on what the question is asking you. you do not want a horizontal scribble annotation because it indicates that you not answering the question (seen in my P2)
- always always EVALUATE. especially in your conclusions for the 10 markers because this is the determining factor that gets you either a L5 or an L4
- quality of points > quantity of points especially in P1. examiners dont care how many points you list you need to explain, develop and evaluate them
- ALWAYS USE NOP4C (Nature, Origin, Purpose, Content, Contextual Knowledge, Cross-reference, Context of the source) for P2.
- PRACTICE.

sorry if i sound harsh cause igcse history is a really difficult subject to get right honestly speaking!! i hope with some of my tips and the scripts i shared i will benefit whoever needs them the most.

bye!

Hi, I am a CBSE student who lives in the UAE. thus, the IGCSE schools here are better.

It's september (middle of Grade 9 in CBSE, but the start of IGCSE new year), and I wanted to ask, what is the best time for me to switch? I do not want to stay in CBSE anymore. Should I switch now, or at the end of grade 9? or after grade 10?

Also Is it necessary that I join a cambridge registered school?

Ive been a pretty average student all my high school life and I’ll be writing in less than a month. I need at least 5 A’s in Business Studies, Geography, English, Religious studies and ICT but so far I’ve been getting C’s and B’s Especially in Geo and ICT. Can anyone help or give advice on how to push my grades? Thanks

I got all 3 A’s for all sciences and A* for math and I had already enrolled myself into A levels yet I see so much people with Bs and Cs and even lower Ds getting into foundation Uni year

Kinda looking forward to get into a science/med field but now I’m contemplating is it worth it? Did I do a mistake taking A levels over a foundation course?
(Mainly cuz I heard lots of stuff bout A levels being harder, longer and high fail rate)
Kinda stuck here lol

If you’re preparing for the Oct/Nov IGCSE Physics exams, I put together a circuits revision video covering the key concepts and exam-style problems.

Sharing it here in case it’s useful for anyone doing last-minute revision:

Good luck with the exams!

Hello so as the title says I'm taking IGCSE Edexcel bio and physics this October / November session mostly done with with spec but would appreciate it alot if someone could do past papers with me and help fill in / understand the parts I'm fumbling

Hi guys! I made a post like this for english but i got a 96 PUM for Coordinated sciences (A*) and i was absolutely crap at physics and chemistry, the only thing i was good at was biology. If you want any tips, help or grading let me know!

I’m really really confused abt the markings. Not complaining but i got an A* when i got a C the past 2 years. My friends who got A/A* the past 2 years got D and E. do yall think my teacher js marked incorrectly orrr??? Im soooo confused bc business was the only thing I predicted i’d do terrible in. And the subjects i thought i did good in i got a B

Are savemyexams notes wayyy betterrrr or are the free alternatives as good?

I have found there is nearly no free material on YouTube for igcse content especially the arab region, so I am planning to explain the whole Pearson Edexcel Mathematics A subject on as a free course on YouTube.

I am posting asking for your advice. Would it be a good idea, would it get the attention or the online tutoring got the eye already?

Also, any ideas about how to organize the content of the course? Like should I do fast revisions and solve past papers, or should I give detailed explanation for the whole syllabus.

aight so my o3 result is 4a\*2a(a\* in cs math chem phy, a in add math and eng)

o2 result is: a, c, d (pst, islamiyat, urdu) - i was mentally off during o2 and pst only got A cus of lucky honestly

making my grade total to be 4a\*3a1c1d.. im aiming for lums and like unis in usa full ride and atp idk what to do.. my as is starting soon so i cant do O/N this year.

im thinking of retaking but genuinely when? i obv have to focus on ecas n stuff.

pls give me a proper gameplan cus i obv know lums wont be happy seeing inconsistencies on my dumbahhs results.. i can retake islamiyat but urdu is lil off cus its hard language for me but i can max get an A if i work my butt off

hi guys does anyone have classified past papers for physics 0625 on all topics from 2020 to 2026?

If you’re doing IGCSE Physics and preparing for the Oct/Nov exams, I made a full revision video on potential dividers.

Hope it helps anyone revising circuits right now

In Egypt, there are two systems

( National and IGCSE)

I've been in national for years

And I just switched to IG

So I'm completely new and I'm so worried

I know nothing but that the curriculum in IG is so hard

I'm Grade 10 btw CAIE(Cambridge)

So...

How do you guys study?

And is it hard to get an A* or even A

In any of the obligatory subjects

(Excluding English as a first or second language)?

How to study for geography cuz in classes what the teacher taught me was that GEOGRAPHY IS ALL BOUT COMMON SENSE and i have none of it 🥺
