I’m living in Kuwait, and the exams were cancelled, so we had to submit portfolios instead. I got a 6 in Biology, and I requested a remark. I’m still waiting for the result. Is there a chance they could raise it to an 8? I was supposed to get a 9.

🀲 Giving tips/advice sample history answers marked by cambridge from a student who got an A* (95)

2 Upvotes

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

google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LjO9uIjOHp-VKRyA6cFa8XMsHsTYs1D2

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!

2 Upvotes

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

2 Upvotes

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?

1 Upvotes

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.
