          • 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…. 🙁

    • 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

  2. 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!

  3. 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

      • 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!

      • 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.

    • I cried. No jokes. I cried properly in the examination hall without no shame ’cause it was a bloody hard exam.

    • 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:

      • 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
