Dear IGCSE centre,
In the Economics papers, will we be granted marks by simply writing the answers or are we supposed to expound on them?
Like, in the ICT exam we can write only the basic points with some explanation and we’re stilled granted the full marks, but is it the same in Econmics?
Hi Nia,
You must write your answers in proper sentences, not bullet points. This is because you will need to explain, analyse, or discuss, and answering in bullet points makes it difficult to gain even half mark for questions where the command word is explain, analyse, or discuss.
So, please follow the instructions/questions given and do not ?test? the examiners.

Hi IGCSE,
Actually I have my hindi as a second language board exam (listening)…. If you can help me then can you give me some tips about how to prepare except for doing the past papers. I would be glad to know to the tips
Hi Anushka,
For Listening exams:
1. Pick 3 or 4 practice exam questions that are different from each other (closest to what is expected in the latest syllabus). You can refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected during exams here: https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/.
2. Build your personal vocabulary – learn a small number of new words every day.
3. Find out how to pronounce the words
4. Understand and learn the questions. Look up any words you don?t know and learn to recognise keywords. Learn each question alongside the answer that goes with it.
5. Compile a list of topic-specific vocab that?s likely to come up. If you can, learn the gender of any nouns and the different tenses of any verbs. Learn the vocab so you can use and recognise it.
6. Get a parent or friend to do a mock exam with you. Pay attention to where you slip up and then work on improving those areas.
7. Make useful notes.
Can we write proverbs in formal letter in igcse esl paper. If we can should we write them in quotation or without quotation?
Hi Lily,
One or two proverbs/idioms are ok. But not more than that. Otherwise, your essay would sound too stereotypical.
Here are some good proverbs to use in essays, how you can use them:

Quotation is not necessary.
Just Keep It Simple 🙂
