Hi Pavitra,
The most important things you need to do are: read a lot and write a lot. We can?t stress enough of ?read a lot?. By reading, you will gain tremendous knowledge on how to phrase your sentences, types of vocabulary, style, etc? Besides reading, you ought to practise writing as well. You have to put to use what you have learnt. Practise with the latest past exam papers (https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/)

Hi, I know you have said previously that we are risking the examiner not seeing some of what we write in the exam by writing below the lines but does this apply if I write in the space provided between the first and second question on a page? Thanks
Hello there,
As long as it it is within the space provided (and if it is properly labeled), then the examiner would be able to follow it.
In the grade thresholds, in biology,chemistry and physics marks are added to 200 but if we see the raw marks for component 22,42,62 the marks add up to 160. How is that possible?
Hi Riya,
160 is the total raw marks while 200 is the total weighted marks. Each component has its weighting factor. Weighting factor is the value assigned by CIE to indicate the importance of each component. You may download the weighting factors here: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/Images/206341-syllabus-component-weighting-factors.pdf

Hi Chappie,
Paper 6 or the Alternative to Practical paper is simply an alternative mode of assessment to Practical examination paper. It requires the same kind of practical work in preparation as the Practical Examination paper. The syllabus ( https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ ) makes it clear, in the Aims, the Assessment Objectives and Practical Assessment sections, that the course should be thought practically and that candidates should have experience of doing (rather than merely seeing) experimental work. The Alternative to Practical paper assess the practical skills, including both data handling and familiarity with standard laboratory equipment.
