Dear IGCSE team

Hi Ayoub,
For such last minute, we suggest you to read through the mark scheme and see what is expected from you.
THE MATH PAPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW IT’S GONNA HAUNT ME IN MY SLEEEP :'(
well, i solved all papers math with all varients and this was the hardest and iam suree the the curve will be at least 76/130 A because if u go back to may/june 2007 the A was 76/130! DONT WORRY PEOPLE 😀
thanks for the encouragement izzldeen 🙂
it wasn’t that hard……. everyone in my school is aiming for an A*,, the lowest in my grade is gonna be a 126,,,
WHAT!!! REALLY!! FINGERS CROSSED!!
Same hereeee! 🙁
I was wayyyy to bad.. all those sleepless nights for maths.. went in vain! :'(
I hope the grading thresholds are TOOOOOO LOW!
I KNOW RIGHT! ANY IDEA HOW EVERYONE ELSE’S WAS THOUGH?
and i think they set it tough because last year way too many people got full marks so everyone though ig math was a child’s play.
I totally agree just came from doing math paper 4 0580/42 2015 Lord hardest thing ever i hope for the best for myself and u as well
I’m still crying IT WAS SO BAD.
OMG IKRR!! I had math paper 4 too!! It’s so tough !! gosh
in all our sleep saibi 🙁
thanks to every1 for the encouragement every1 :)… but the comments above… 🙁 pecially those of umair abid r EXTREMLY depressing…
Tell me about It !!!!! Paper 2 was amazing and it even boosted my confidence but after seeing that paper, i just felt like crying 🙁 🙁 ! French was good though except the last comprehension for the salon owner … IDK ! 🙁 / 🙂
plz reply what were ur vrais for that french paper?
the pone with the salon owners?
REPLY URGENTLY thanksssssssssssssssssss
that math paper was easy! what have you been doing all these years with you life?
yes it was extremely difficult, same opinion from most of the other 100 that wrote the exam at my center
thanks for some encouragement…:)
it just sucked i mean i had no idea what i was doing the ratio questions and the fuel consumption questions were the worst ever
Yup its was soooo difficult evey one with me was soooooo scared and stressed during the exam
Guys don’t worry! 🙂 The nightmare is over and grade boundaries will be low this year I don’t think anyone can have a good feeling about this test but focus on your upcoming subjects and don’t let this paper ruin your future scores. All the best of luck to everyone!!
IKRRRRR!!!!!!!
IT WAS HELL!!!!
I JUST HOPE THEY LOWER THE GRADE CURVE
Hello igcse team i was wondering if I get a 100/200 in math approximately…. will it make a D or an E grade..???? Please reply…. 🙁
Hi Saibi,
We seriously don’t know. The grade threshold will only come out after all the marking.

Hi Dania,
We have answered numerous time. We do not know when we will get it. We all have to wait till all the marking is done. 🙂

how weird it is that we have more than 25 things to focus on but the paper has only a max of 10 topics covered… 😛
Cambridge people….
i sooo wish i could give u guys any of the material i was provided with for bio… 🙁 i wish i cd help…. 🙁
Same here?
1,3
Paper 6 is a piece of cake, but make sure to revise the food tests and classification well, they come a lot. Papers 1 and 3 I have not done yet, but I also recommend studying Genetics and reproduction well. And when solving Paper 1, take your time. The choices can be very tricky.
Good luck!!
you know what dude
for paper 3
review ALL your book or read the worksheet
whatever source of info u have
go over everything again and again
then solve as much as u can paper 3
start 2014 and go backwards
its a piece of cake if u reviewed all info
for paper1
it will be even simpler when u review the notes
believe me if u know how to solve paper 3 u know how to solve paper 6
Dear IGCSE Team,
Could you please include Co-ordinated Sciences past papers please, if possible.
Thank you for the other past papers though, they have been very helpful!
Hi Piya,
They are there. Look under “Sciences – Co-ordinated (Double) (0654)”
Thank you very much!
The math exam 42 was just too hard compared to any exam ever and i solved from 2007-2014 and i still found the exam way above did anyone feel the same ?
ya i agree
i did sooo bad
it was one of the toughest ones, all my hard work and practising is wasted
i hope the grade boundaries are really low
Paper 2 was good tho
Me too… even I agree
totally the worse
believe the curve should be lowest in history to get A*
AGREE!! why? we all were expecting it easy like the specimen! no new topics came either :”(
I agree. We did paper 41 and I found it to be really tough.
I spent like 30 minutes thinking about one single question that I didnt even get enought time to go over my work.
yea the grade threshold will be low i think cux last year for 2014 paper 144 was A grade. and last year’s paper compared to this year’s paper was super easy! so probably this year the threshold would be lower. even my paper went horrible! but i think we shouldnt stress on math pp4 anymore we have more difficult subjects up ahead like bio, chem and phy (for those who take the sciences). all the best everyone 😉
i left out
at least 15 questions!!!!!!!
and i maybe made like 10 mistakes!
god i cant believe it!
i hope the curve is low because boy im getting a C 🙁
even though yesterday i solved A LOT of past papers!
I’m feeling just like you guys.. All of my revision and studying is wasted. That paper was a nightmare!
Math paper was really unexpected but I had tried my bes to make it complete and paper 2 was a lot better
Like u guys left how many marks in p42?
me too im so sad. ive solved like all those papers and also variants… i feel like all my hard work will not show :'( .. i didnt even have time ot properly revise and when i dont revise .. i get small mistakes here and there as well
nice one this shows that you didn’t study properly. it was easy for me. the only problem was x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0. Rest everything was fine even thoud i was dosing off during the paper.
c was the point when 3x + 1 cuts y-axis and others two were intersections with the curve.
Same guys! I will there’s always a next time..
I totally agree, really had a tough time with the questions!
It was absolutely tough thou
I may be expecting 89-100
same here it was freaking hard. Do They ave to torture us this much?
I cried. No jokes. I cried properly in the examination hall without no shame ’cause it was a bloody hard exam.
Are u talking about the investigation with the cubes and the modeling with the boat and the water current?
I really do wish I cried, the frustration killed me!
legit tears like flowing down ur face
Mine tooo 🙁 I solved quite a few papers, we even organised a few group study sessions, but the 42 paper was not quite as good as expected 🙁
I opened the paper, went through it like let me find something I know, i kept on flipping so much I reached the end of the paper and I was like oh crap.
no paper 42 was not that hard only the graph and qestion 3 was hard . question three about alan going in his car
omg, the exam was extremely hard, im losing around 10-15 marks. really hope the thresholds are low. My parents are expecting A*s D:
ik THAT feelin -.-“
Don’t worry about the Math Paper 4 people, there is a good chance that CIE would lower the grade curve because this math exam was much more difficult than what is expected by IGCSE standards.
Meee tooo they told me to be confident and i will do very well.
After the exam i was like”yeah right,confidence”
Ppppssshhhhh!! ;(
i only achieved number 1. The exam was so hard i had to go take a heavy dose of 23 afterwards. I couldnt even do my usual frequency problems. E-E-E-E-E-E-E
you are right
