am taking the IGCSE this year "these days actually "

and i just now knew about this great fourm

am taking"

computer studies
arabic First lang
English Sec lang
BIO
CHEM
math " i don't know additional math or mathematics if u can help me to know which one am taking"


i just have some queries about 4 subjects

Math : my first subject that i will take the exam..
      
         1- What is the best way to study.
    
         2- I got last year's specimen is it important?
         
         3-I have problems in sets and loci how can i master them.             

         4- how can i manage to get good marks.


Computer: well ...

              1- My major problem is algorithm and psedocode how can i master them.

              2- Are there any common questions in computer.

BIO : OMG !!!

      1- what is the best way to study for paper 3.

      2- Are the subjects in paper 6 specific or it differs.

Chem :

         1- What is the best way to study for paper 3?

         2- Are the subjects in paper 6 specific or it differs?

         3- How the IG's expect us to answer paper 6 " adding 2 substances what is the color of the precipitate!!" i mean how the hell they expect us to know?? Are there specific expirements that may come in different forms so we can study them all??

Another thing: 1- What do u mean by "curves" ??

                    2- what is the use of specimen??

                    3- can we students outline what will be the questions comming?

I know i asked alot but plz bear with me... I will highly appreciate it...

For 100% sure, you're not taking Add Maths. You're doing normal IGCSE Maths. The best way for Maths is past papers. Do A LOT OF THEM since you seem unsure on a lot of part, it'd be better if you specify what topic you need help in. About Loci, just do past papers, they have loci questions & if you're stuck, your teacher is the key.
Specimen is released when there's a change in format. Every year's exams are important so just try to do as much as possible.

For any Science paper 3, again make sure you know the basics first and then move on to solving past papers. FOR IGCSE PAST PAPERS ARE THE KEY, THEY SECURE YOU 75% OF THE MARK ALREADY.

For Chemistry paper 6, there's a topic known as Qualitative Chemistry, which is all about lab techniques and colour changes, reactions with acid & alkali, etc. Make sure you know that topic well. Otherwise, you really need to see your teacher.

It's hard to predict what questions will come up for each year's exams. But solving past papers will help. The questions are a bit repetitive, the exam board just change the wording a bit.

Curves are one of the best thing about IGCSE. For example, the grade for A* is 85%, suppose that year exam is a bit hard then the curve will help to determine the grade boundary. So if you get 80% there's a chance of you getting A* as well.

Pls feel free to ask if you're unsure. It'd be better if you outline what topics you're stuck on so we'd be able to help. At the moment, your questions are a bit general actually . There are separate threads for each subject (Chem, Maths, Bio) if you are stuck on.

Hope it helps

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

thanks for ur time

hope we can perform well this year

[BlackBunny103]

No problem If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

[ahmed bahrain]

thanks blackbunny

i have one doubt about computer studies

i always find it difficult to answer algorithm questions and psedocode weather they are questions based on a given algorithm or psedocode or there is a problem which requires me to "invent" an algorithm or a psedocode"while do loops...etc"

Is there any way to make them easier to me??

How can i master them??

thanks for ur time and srry for my many questions...

[BlackBunny103]

Don't worried about asking many questions. Everyone has their own doubts & the forum is made to help people out.

I'm very sorry for not being to help for Computer Studies. I don't take it, I only take ICT though.
I'll ask some of my friends for you. Other people in this forum taking Computer Studies might be able to help as well.
