What year was the 3 variants introduced?
Hi Rhysie,
We couldn’t confirm officially on the year of introduction of the variants. However, judging from the past exam papers, we find the variants first appeared in the November examination series in year 2009.
If you are interested in getting the official date, you have to contact the exam board.
Hi
I want to score good marks in travel I have 2 months exactly any tips please help I feel so scared.
Hello Jassim,
Here are some tips for you:
– You need to read the question carefully and respond in an appropriate manner, paying close attention to the context provided.
– Careful interpretation of the stimulus materials is required
– Greater precision when explaining the significance of particular factors, avoiding generalisation
– Be prepared for the demands of the open-ended/longer answer questions which require analysis and evaluation skills.
Hi
I want to know if there is any article in you website about writing report and summary. (The last exercise in 0510 changed to writing a report)
Thanks!
Hi Moha,
According to the 2019 syllabus set by CAIE (the exam board), question 6 would be to write a report, or a review or an article of approximately 100–150 words for Core and 150-words and for Extended, in response to a short stimulus. As such, there is no more fixed one format for this exercise. We suggest that you have to learn all formats: article, review, report.
But before you begin writing, decide if you’re going to write about the topic from two sides (for
and against) or from just one (your opinion). If you write a two-sided (balanced) piece of writing, remember to include your opinion in the last paragraph. If you want to write only from your own point of view, include it in the first paragraph.
Furthermore, try to think of your own ideas on the topic which match the task and include them in your writing. For each of the ideas included in your answer, support them with evidence or examples. Note, the examiner knows that the evidence or examples will be made up and doesn’t expect these to be correct.
Lastly, remember to organise your writing: include an introduction, a middle section and a
conclusion.
With regards to writing summary, this article will help you: https://www.igcsecentre.com/how-to-write-a-summary/
how do i practice the german speaking tests
Hi Ted,
Here are some Speaking tips for you:
1. Pick 3 or 4 practice exam questions that are different from each other (closest to what is expected in the latest syllabus). You can refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected during exams.
2. Prepare answers to questions that are likely to come up
3. Find out how to pronounce the words and read them out loud.
4. Learn your answers by heart. Learn your answers one phrase or sentence at a time. Select a chunk and repeat it to yourself over and over until you’ve got it.
5. Understand and learn the questions. Look up any words you don’t know and learn to recognise keywords. Learn each question alongside the answer that goes with it.
6. Learn two or three idiomatic phrases or sayings and memorise them. Go for sayings that could be used to talk about any topic or topic-specific ones that you know you’ll be able to use in the exam.
7. Compile a list of topic-specific vocab that’s likely to come up. If you can, learn the gender of any nouns and the different tenses of any verbs. Learn the vocab so you can use and recognise it.
8. Get a parent or friend to do a mock exam with you. Pay attention to where you slip up and then work on improving those areas.
9. Make useful notes.
Lastly, practice, practice, and more practice. The speaking topics will be different based on the zone you’re in. You can use other variants as practice as well.

Hi,
It was really sad to hear that your google drive is having a problem sharing files cause due to someone unknown, but right now having past papers is currently important for our boards. Past papers were easy and reliable to access in google drive so can you please suggest any website through which I can get past papers access directly through my google drive. Cause searching for past papers again and again on google is difficult while some websites do not show all past papers ranging from 2002 – 2018. Can you also tell till what time will we get access to past papers through this website?
thanks and regards,
Meetrayu
Hi Meetrayu,
It’s very unfortunate that this has happened. We did our very best to help, but it couldn’t be done in a short period of time. We have to study all possible options to prevent incidents like this. We suggest that you google alternative source of past papers.
