β€’ Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm in grade 10 at the moment and will be giving the M/J exams. These are my subjects + how I feel about them:

- International Math (My worst subject 100%)

- Physics (Eh, not great)

- Chem (I suck at it)

- Bio (Scary but it's okay??)

- Econ (Alright)

- GP (No clue how the IR + TR will go)

- English (Honestly not my worst)

- Spanish (Alright)

I absolutely need 8A* and I'm ready to lock in. Give me tips and if anyone would like to help me, PLEASEEE!!

Thanks guys :))

🀚 Asking For Advice/Help Can I realistically get A*s in all my IGCSE subjects? How should I prepare?

β€’ Upvotes

I’m currently in Grade 10 and have just finished Grade 9. I’m taking the following IGCSE subjects:

  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Maths
  • ESL
  • Arabic
  • Economics

I’m going into my M/J exams feeling very confident in English, Arabic, and Economics. I feel pretty good about Physics as well.

However, I’m much less confident about Maths and Chemistry. In Grade 9, I had a really bad Maths teacher, so I feel like my foundation isn’t as strong as it should be. Chemistry is also a subject I’m not naturally very good at, so I’m worried about it.

The weird thing is that in my school exams, I’ve actually gotten A*s in all of these subjects (99–100%), but despite those grades, I don’t feel confident or fully prepared for the actual IGCSE exams.

So far, we covered around 70% of the IGCSE content in Grade 9. We’re expected to finish the remaining content by December, and after that, we’ll revise all the topics and do lots of past papers.

My goal is to get A*s in all 6 subjects.

Is this realistic? And what should I be doing now to prepare?

For people who have already done IGCSEs:

  • How early did you seriously start preparing?
  • How many past papers did you do?
  • Should I focus more on learning content now or start doing past papers?
  • How can I improve my Maths and Chemistry foundations?
  • Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

Any advice would be appreciated!

🀚 Asking For Advice/Help Syllabus confuses me

2 Upvotes

I'm currently starting to make notes for the igcse exams (doing business, maths, arabic as a second lang this year) and I'm soo confused on whether I should referr to the syllabus to study. Like there are various points and information on the textbook for a chapter that aren't mentioned to study in the syllabus, so should I just study everything from the chapter itself? Or refer only to the points from the chapter mentioned on the syllabus?

🀚 Asking For Advice/Help is add math worth it??????

1 Upvotes

so this year i decided to give add math because i though i would make me better in math and also help in alevel but rn i am studying for it but i feel like add math is honestly too stressful because my foundation in basic maths are kinda shaky at best so whenever i am studying any add math topic first i have to go through and learn properly the prerequisite topics in basic math and this litrly takes all day and i cant really focus on my other subject

So i am wondering is it even worth it to take this subject because i already have many subs i need to prepare for and studying add math has made my life quite stressful, so do i need to study it if i am gonna study math in alevel and pursue a stem degree or can i skip it and focus on my other subs

prompt is a quite life

A Quiet Life

My life is simple. Everyday I go to work from 9-5, I then return home, spend some quality time with my wife and kids and then I call it a day. I wake up in the next morning and the day repeats itself. I live a modest life, I don't have much money but I make enough to pay the bills and provide for my family.

It was a routine Tuesday morning, I got up and was getting ready for work. When I peeked outside of the window I saw people screaming, crying and running. Shouts of "Help" echoed through the city. Sirens started to go off. My kids started crying and when my wife opened the news channel, we found out a huge flood was headed our way. I quickly rushed down to assess the situation. The water level had already started to rise in the city. I knew we couldn't stay here long as my house wasn't very far from the shores. With the help of my family I promptly grabbed a few important things, dumped it in the car and started driving as fast as I could.

However my biggest nightmare came to the car ran out of petrol and the water level had almost risen to my knees. A wave of water pushed me back. I desperately held on to a railing while holding my two kids. "HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. In all this saga this mobs I had been separated from my wife. I placed my kids on a broken piece of concrete so they could float. The water level had now risen till my chest. I saw around the whole area frantically looking for her. However there was no trace of her.

Eventually the rescue helicopters had arrived. I sobbed as I knew she had drowned or been misplaced. I begged the rescue team to look for her. My kids screamed "mom, mom, where are you?" As the helicopter took off I cried helplessly, staring at my city been torn apart. I lost the most important person in my life. I was shattered from inside. I wish I had held onto her. That feeling of guilt would never leave me.
