i head that we are not supposed to use  the coordinates for calculating the gradient

I don't thnk so... I usualy use da same method... N i always get da rite ans...
I hv a question, does nuclear phy cums in papr? I mean half lyf can be...

I got sum info abt circuits as well:

1.repeat
2.switch on off to pvent temp rise
3.clean wires
4.tap meter be4 using it
5.minimum curent
6.rheostat shud be used
7.disconect da meter, if doesnt return to 0 dan there is error.
Dnt walk As iF u RulE da WorLd..... Walk As if U dOnT CarE wHO RuLzz It.......

hello al
like in question 4a chemistry, 2005, oct/nov
when the ask to make a straight line graph do they mean a line of best fit
or do they mean for us to join each point to the next
Thanks in advance

hey i did the physics exam 4 hours ago and if there is someone who still didnt do is message me and i will till whats gona come
and if anyone did the exam before me please tell me so that i can ask u in our future exams

good luck to all;)

but sometimes in bio paper 6 questions come which are related to selective breeding and reproduction. What about that??

As many students were wondering here I write the points CIE included in the revision checklists for MJ/2009

Physics
This is a written Paper, testing the same four skill areas as Paper 5. You may be
asked to:
-record readings from diagrams of apparatus e.g. current readings
-answer questions on the arrangemet of appartaus
-complete tables of data
-draw conclusions from information
-answer questions about experimental data
-plot a graph from a table of readings
-interpret information from graphs
-draw ray diagrams
-identify sources of error and suggest improvements in the experiment
-suggest suitable apparatus for investigations


Chemistry
This is a written Paper, testing the same four skill areas as Paper 5. You may be
asked to:
• record reading from diagrams of apparatus, e.g. burette readings
• answer questions on the arrangement of apparatus, e.g. for collecting gases
• complete tables of data
• draw conclusions from information
• answer questions about experimental data
• answer questions about tests for ions and gases - you will be expected to
learn and remember these tests
• plot and interpret information from graphs
• identify sources of error and suggest improvements in the experiment
• suggest suitable apparatus for investigations


Biology
This is a written Paper, testing the same four skills as Paper 5. You may be asked to:
• carefully follow a set of instructions in a particular order
• use familiar and unfamiliar methods to record observations and making deductions
from them
• perform simple tests, for example tests for food substances, using hydrogencarbonate
indicator, litmus and Universal Indicator paper
• use a scalpel or razor blade, forceps, scissors and mounted needles skilfully
• use a hand lens to observe and record biological specimens
• make clear line drawings of specimens
• perform simple calculations, including the magnification (enlargement) of a drawing




Now the skills they are talking about for Paper 5, I will write them so you wont get counfused.

Physics
-recording current and p.d and drawing circuit diagrams
-ray tracing and drawing ray diagrams
-measuring temprature
-balancing(centre of mass and moments)
-stretching of springs
-timing of oscillations


Chemistry
• measuring the volumes of liquids and gases, including the use of burettes and
pipettes (You will not be required to weigh materials.)
(You should be able to take burette reading to the nearest 0.1 cm3 and measure
volumes in measuring cylinders to the nearest scale unit.)
• measuring speeds of reaction
• measuring temperature (You should be able to measure the temperature to the
nearest scale division on the thermometer.)
• paper chromatography
• filtering
• identifying ions and gases using a table of tests to help you

Biology
• carefully following a set of instructions in a particular order
• using familiar and unfamiliar methods to record observations and making deductions
from them
• performing simple tests, for example tests for food substances, using hydrogencarbonate
indicator, litmus and Universal Indicator paper
• using a scalpel or razor blade, forceps, scissors and mounted needles skilfully
• using a hand lens to observe and record biological specimens
• making clear line drawings of specimens
• performing simple arithmetical calculations, including the magnification of a drawing

Good luck everyone and for any question please ask.

for biology..... do we need to know heart structur...eye structure and the rest?? or only just the simple calculations and food tests. Also, is the lay out of bio ppr 6 as easy going as the physics one (having formulas already being given)
 ???
thanks[/s][/s].

Thanks!

U can find the full version of what you said for ANY syllabus in http://www.cambridgestudents.org.uk/subjectpages
pick a subject

Go to IGCSE > Revision Checklist!! for anything
its usefull :)

nd good luck every1

I put this website as a useful reference in one of the topics.
