  keep doing past papers, it honestly helps! learn the metal extraction of iron and aluminum. the basic oxygen tank. reactions in organic chem (alkane + chlorine, cracking conditions, alkene and steam/water, etc.) and structural formulas (isomers), rate of reaction, habers and contact process, acids and bases (rxns), enthalpy change and ESPECIALLY redox! If you want, brush through your electrolysis, atoms and metal reactivity). If you guys have any tips for physics P3 plz share 🙂

    focus on the hooke’s law
    energy and stuff
    pressure(liquid and solids)
    the gas laws( presure law–P/T=constant….boyl’s law–PT=constant…charles’ law–V/T=constant…Gas law–PV/T=constant… where V=volume, P=pressure and T=temperature)
    moments(and uses)
    transferof kinetic to potential energy
    Brownian motion
    bi-metallic strips
    adv and disadv of alcohol and mercury thermometer
    thermocouple
    thermal capacity (specific and non-specific)
    properties of waves
    elctromagnetic spectrum
    critical angle
    ray diagram (if sm1 generous could help me at this)
    uses of radioactive elemants
    Half-life of radioactive elements
    centre of mass
    dispersion of light
    deflection of alpha gamma and beta in magnetic field and current
    penetration caused by the alpha gamma and beta radiation
    the whole of elctricity and magnetism but focus more on ac and dc generator/motor
    latent heat (specific or non-specific)
    
    Hope this helps… 🙂

  I believe that one of the most important topics is organic chemistry so make sure you focus on that! Do pastpapers as well and read the mark scheme after completing it, you can learn stuff from the markscheme! I also think that it’s more important to focus on the last chapters including contact process and haber process extraction of metals reversible reactions rates of reaction and electricity but if you have time you should surely revise the first chapters! Chemistry is really easy so don’t worry and goodluck

I was wondering if it is required that you obtain an A in each component (paper) of a subject in order to get an A* as your final grade? Or can you get an A* without getting an A in some of the components?

  An (A) in all components may not even get you the( A) since it is usually low like in biology ( paper 3) for example , however you can calculate it by adding up your mark on each component and making it out of the syllabus mark which is for example in biology 200 , so if you do not get in an( A) in any component it will be really hard to get an (A) for the final grade

        no it was blood. blood is a tissue while teeth are organs

      Blood; it’s a tissue. A tooth is an organ.

        was that in paper 12?? i don’t remember that coming up
      - Najla on May 16, 2015 at 2:56 pm said:
        
        i mean paper 11
      - Samar on May 17, 2015 at 8:07 am said:
        
        Dont worry it is in 12
        And okay thanks but i thought that tooth is a bone which has no tissues
        and blood is many different cells functioning to make blood but i guess blood is right
        majorty chose blood

It would be helpful.

  For me there are three days gap for the preparation of chemistry so I am just going to perfect my concepts and refer my school notes. If I get time or I get tired of doing portion, I will practice some past papers. My friends told me that two questions came from older previous years for chemistry paper 6 so after revising the portion once just practice some older past papers. Hope this helped.

  Dear igcse,
  I am really stressed out about my Hindi paper which I just appeared for on 12th May…Actually I have written more than 100 words in the summary! 🙁 My friends told me that I will directly be marked zero. I am really scared and because of this stress I wont be able to give the listening paper. Please help Me.

    Hi Tanushka,
    No, it won’t be zero. It will be marked until the 100th word, then the rest will be crossed out. If you have given enough content points within the 100 words, you will still gain the content marks.

  Just revise the portion and perfect your concepts. Make sure you are thorough with organic chemistry, polymers, electrolysis, ionic and covalent bonding, rate of reaction and it’s factors, factors that affect equilibrium, acids and bases reactions, extraction of aluminium. And remember just before you hand in the exam to the invigilator, check whether you wrote all the units because even if your answers are correct you’ll lose marks for not writing the correct unit. So yeah. I hope this helped you.

  Hi,
  There is no specimen for Chemistry since the syllabus did not majorly change like other subjects such as math

  There are no specimen papers 2015, you could try solving 2016 but I wouldn’t recommend it if you are appearing for 2015 May/June examinations 😀
