    • Hi Simoli,

      Most of the exam scripts are scanned and marked by the examiners in their computer. There is no penalty for going beyond the lines, however, you are risking your answers not fitting into the scanned screen. If this happens, you will lose marks as the examiners won?t be able to see your full answers.

      Alternatively, you may write on the blank pages provided within the answer sheet. Any blank pages that are used by a candidate in the examinations are scanned and marked as long as you properly label it.

    • Hello Krina,

      Look at the number of marks available for a question or question part. The number of marks is usually a clue to how many different points are needed. For example, if a question has two marks allocated to it, two pieces of information are needed. However, each point has to be accurate!

    • Hi Krina,

      IGCSE and O-level are of equivalent qualification. IGCSE set internationally recognised standards while O-level were developed to meet specific local needs. Furthermore, IGCSE uses a variety of assessment techniques to test oral and practical skills, initiative and problem-solving and application of skills, knowledge and understanding. A coursework option is available in many syllabuses, allowing schools an element of personal choice and giving teachers the chance to share in the process of assessment. On the other hand, O-level offers fewer coursework options than IGCSE. The focus of O-level languages is on writing and reading skills and there are more restricted practical test options in O-level sciences.

      Choosing between IGCSE or O-level, depends on what you want to study in the future. We suggest that you check out the universities you have in mind and get the confirmation on their admission requirements.

    • Hi Evan,

      Remember that in this question your reading and writing skills are being tested so you need to be using both ? picking out ideas from the passage and reworking them to write a convincing response. You will need to use and develop the ideas contained in the passage, and add original details of your own. Don?t forget that your ideas should remain based on the passage and not stray too far from it. Stick to those questions only and develop the responses to them. It can make your answers too fragmented or less focused if you add more. Do not copy big chunks of text as that is not going to be showing your understanding, try to use your own words as far as possible. Aim to avoid using the same word too often and try to choose more precise vocabulary rather than always the first word you think of. Lastly, try if you can to ?hear? your answer read out in your head ? this will help you to check that you are using an appropriate register (that it sounds right).

      • Hi S,

        We suggest that you develop data handling techniques. Familiarise yourself with the variety of forms in which economic data can be presented. Learn to interpret statistical tables, understand trends and relationship, and illustrate diagram, and analyse graphs.

        Furthemore, always use the extract provided. Do not rely mainly on your general knowledge and understanding to answer some of these questions. While correct information may have been provided, it will not score any marks because the assessment objective is to make use of relevant information from the extract.

        Lastly, practice, practice and practice. Answering past papers help and you can learn from the mark scheme. Download the past papers here: https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/

    • Hi Evan,
      Writing an interview will not be easy. You will need to include sufficient information on your interview. Remember you need to write:
      – Why you are for the interview
      – Benefits of hiring you
      – How you wish to contribute
      – Who you are contributing to
      – Other details

      Wish you good luck
