[@kronoxodus319]

i have a question, it's related to igcse exams, are the keywords of chapters written in the specification, like as you said, the specification is every thing that they can test for the exams, so do they contain definitions of stuff, or can we only know that from the textbook?

[@fasyazls]

Hi dearrr, mind dropping the main topics that you said popped up so often?

[@antwidavid389]

What is your take on watching past paper walkthroughs? Do you think they're advisable to use for going through past papers? Especially if you do not have a lot of time to go through the papers by yourself.

[@SarahChu]

Hi! I personally think that you'll get the most out of it if you do the paper yourself and then only watch the video if you don't understand how to approach a question

heyy can u pls let me know how to have a correct study schedule and also how to study properly i loved ur tips given here

[@jelol3167]

Thanks for these tips. Actually worried bout chemistry since I always get 7 when doing past papers. Gonna start my exams tomorrow with bio. Watched your bio vids already and have been studying accordingly. My teacher for bio isn't exactly available and I feel like asking my old teacher wouldn't be appropriate so I had to really look at the book carefully. I'm taking Oxford so it's kinda hard to find some topics for bio in KZbin.

hi! you mentioned that you noticed 2-3 topics came up the most frequently in the exam, could you share what those topics were? thank you!!

[@SarahChu]

hey! it's probably different for every specification (i did CIE IGCSE) but for the practical paper acids and bases and separation techniques always came up for us. organic chemistry is always a big one in long answers and also the one with chemical processes e.g. electrolysis, contact process etc.

[@ahkz2696]

if you didn't know, there's an advanced information from most exam boards detailing which parts of the specification will and will not be on the test (mainly useful for science). You can find it if you search on your exam board website.

[@SarahChu]

Hey! that means a lot! Ali Abdaal actually talks about the STIC framework in one of his videos a while back. basically, there's a lot of scientific evidence that has shown that your brain actually remembers content better if you do practice questions even if you don't know the content. my advice would be to try and learn as you go, if there's a fundamental concept you don't understand, watch a video on it or read up about it. then go back to practice questions :) hope that helped

Hi sarah! I'm doing cie and have my igcses in 4 weeks time and wld rlly rlly appreciate it if u could tell me all the specific topics which were frequently repeated for both bio and chem paper4 and 6 TT

[@eyo512]

6 are always well known topics and they always ask abt, its only 4 questions as well First question is probably name the apparatus and ask questions if there are any errors or like asking for testing certian stuff or asking why did you test this substance in that cetian way Question 2 is usally a graph and just questions asked ant the points like: why did the rate decrease over time? Or suggest any improvements etc. and sometimes if it isnt a graph question theyll ask similar question theyll give u an experiment they did and start asking questions like why did you wash with distilled water something along the lines Question 3 is usually a test for certain stuff like observations and results you can actually get all the marks really easily since they will give you a sheet during the exam And lastly question 4 its plan an experiment these are really easy to answer you can go to the guide and you can see in chapter 11 i think is all the practical and you can watch some videos of teachers answering some plan an experiment questions to give you lots of ideas abt that question I think this is a super late reply and you probably dont care or probably already did the exam but still just in case any other person sees this and just finds it helpful!!

[@hananchinoy]

heyyy, i’ve recently done my mocks and i feel like for the majority of the subjects i’m pretty much good with all the content, do i still go over my notes/textbook or just do past papers until the exam? or do i study the topics again then do papers before the exam?
