Hey there seems to be a confusion about what type of pen I should be using weather ball point ink or pointer so if u could give ur opinion it would be nice
Hello Furqan,
You should just use the normal ball point pen. NOT fountain pen (the ink-typed). Fountain pen might cause lots of mess if your hand press on any part of your writing.
Dear IGCSE team,
I am SOOOO confused about the number of significant figures for physics! how many sig figs and how many decimal points do we leave for our answer. whenever I get an answer, the marking scheme takes a different significant figure. and its random, they don’t always stick to one rule. and also NO PAST PAPER HAS SAID ANYTHING! IM 100% IVE CHECKED THEM ALL please. 🙂
Hello there,
It IS mentioned in the mark scheme. Read below:
“Answers are normally acceptable to any number of significant figures ? 2. Any exceptions to this general rule will be specified in the mark scheme. Rounding errors in the second or third significant figure will be penalised.”
So, you could leave all your answers in 2 significant figures, unless being specified by the questions. Make sure you round it up CORRECTLY.
Dont worry, i spilt coffee on my french listening paper 1 but my teacher said its fine
they wont care about sig figs if they dont care about this
LOL! wait, you got to have coffee during your exam?! Lucky! how was that paper though? I got a few dumb mistakes here and there urgh
Pls help I have to get a score of 104 in math 0580 pls help its paper 4
Oops! ok thanks a lot!!!! <3 you guys are the best! 😀
I wanted to know the blank pages at the end of the question paper are used for what purpose?
If we write answers there, will the examiner read and correct it?
Hi Meme,
It is better to ask for a new answer sheet which has lines on it for you to write your answer.
The blank page is to indicate the end of the questions. If you do write your answer on it, please make sure you label the answer as for which question. As we said before, ask for a new answer sheet if you need more space for your answer.
Dear igcse team,
This year the maths syllabus was updated, but our teachers did not inform us about the changes and so when we gave our p2 of maths 0580 we every candidate from my school were not able to answer the questions which were from the updated syllabus part. I want know whether I can complain about this to the cie?
Pls reply
Hi Meme,
Yes, definitely you could write to CIE to inform them about this incident. Their website is: http://www.cie.org.uk
heyy there,
did u complete your p12 of hindi as a second language?
Did you not read the cie website? they tell you what has been updated in the exam… im sure that for an exam as important as this, you would have taken your own initiative to look or even take a peek at the syllabus rather than to depend fully on your school, us being practically adults by now! Everyone needs to read the syllabus pdf for igcse, its truly helpful. 🙂
never mind about paper 22 again , concentrate your attension now for paper 42 , if you really aim fo r an A* , good luck , its tommorow , relax and have a good sleep . Dania , enty masreya? ,hahah
