Okaaay hi .
Our school photocopied these GCSE guides of some publication called CGP for Physics and Chem. They're helpful for studying IGCSE as well. Is anyone familiar with them and has it for Bio?? Im in serious need of it
-
LOL ! I was looking for those during my IGCSEs too :P
Sorry, dont have any.
BUT there is some stuff here (https://studentforums.biz/references-and-resources/ultimate-resource-guide-for-igcse/) for all IGCSE sciences.

I'd advice you to buy http://www.amazon.co.uk/IGCSE-Study-Guide-Biology-Guides/dp/071957904X?&camp=2486&linkCode=wsw&tag=igcse-21&creative=8922
It's a great study guide for IGCSE students doing the CIE curriculum

lol i don't need any of those @ Ari . :D . i went through it . was bored . thought i'd learn more from that D.G. Mackean book . lol . i just need the CGP guide for Bio :(
-
It's not available as an e-book. If you really require it, you can buy it on amazon or summin :-\

The DG Mckean book is probably one of the worst textbooks I ever had the misfortune of having. It gave tons of useless information and didn't elaborate enough on useful info.
Utterly worthless textbook and I don't even know why schools still use it...

I'd have to second that. Not suited for the IGCSE pattern at all.

I wish something could be done abt it . It's really a stupid book, I know. Everything is hidden and we need to analyze so much to understand properly. But I didn't have a choice. Everyone followed it and my teacher made questions based on the chapter . damn I like the Physics book by someone idk and the chem book is alright , by B Earl or someone . They all come in similar designs and sh**t . lol it's annoying . it's so hard to understand them at a first glance . I've been studying from gcse bitesize ... I'd fail at school exams if I hadn't done that.
and omgeeeeeeeeeeeeee .
My PSAT mocks are due in 2 weeks, main psat 2 weeks after that, and igcse's 3 weeks later after that . I'm toasted .
What do you guys think I should do ?
I'm so deaaad!
I have a big issue with;
Coordinated Science & Math .
WHAT SHOULD I DO ? :O

Why don't you go for the book that I recommended since you don't have as much time? I got an A* in bio using that guide. It's specifically for IGCSE students. It's really precise to the syllabus.
And if you have any problems I can help :)
