Hello Devansh,
Due to the sheer number of different calculator models available worldwide, we cannot give specific details of which models or makes of calculators are permitted during exams.
Please read this article to understand better on what is allowed and what is not: https://www.igcsecentre.com/what-kind-of-calculator-is-acceptable-for-use-in-cambridge-igcse-mathematics-examinations/
For the final confirmation, get confirmation from your exam centre for permitted model. They are the ones who have the final say on what is permitted.
hi igcse center!!
I am having trouble with chemistry. could you please help me get an A*?
Thank you so much!!!!!
Hello there,
Most of the questions would involve chemical and word equations. As such, it is important for the candidates to be able read and write the correct chemical symbols and word equations. However, do not combine symbols and words in the same answer. For example, if it asks for a word equation, do not write a symbol equation. A word equation tests knowledge of chemical names. Although a correct symbol equation is often accepted this is not guaranteed and if there’s errors, marks would not be given.
Use the Periodic Table accurately. Periodic table is provided at the back of the papers. Make sure to utilize the periodic table as this will help to answer some question. Familiarize the layout and know what are the Groups, the Periods, the position of proton number and relative atomic mass of the element, and that the volume of one mole of gas at room temperature and pressure (r.t.p.) is shown at the bottom of the Periodic Table.

Hi Sarah,
Start as early as possible. You can revise the subject from the beginning. Highlight the important facts that you think could be on the test (you should refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected during exams here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/). You can then use the past exam papers as your revision. Start with the latest papers as they have the newest syllabus format and continue with the older ones date back from 5 to 10 years. Then, revise on the most common mistakes that you always seem to make. Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Make notes and revise them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.
You may purchase the A* Model Answers which shows the A* answers for the respective exam papers here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/igcse-exam-resources/
Lastly, DO NOT wait until the very last minute to do your revision. You may also consider our A* revision courses here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-revision-courses/

Hi Swad,

Hello IGCSE team,
I received my IGCSE results recently and in French Foreign Language (0520), the threshold for components 12, 22, 03, 42 was 172 out of 200 to get an A*. As per my calculations, the percentage threshold is 86% to receive an A*. My score was 89% and it shows that I got an A instead of an A*. Can you please clarify if I should receive an A* or an A?
Thank you,
Tanvi
Hello Tanwi,
The percentage uniform mark is not the same as the actual total mark that the candidate achieves on the syllabus. This is because the percentage uniform mark depends on both the actual total mark for the syllabus and the position of the grade thresholds (which may vary from one exam series to another and from one syllabus to another). The percentage uniform mark is also different from the actual mark because it is always calculated out of 100.
I need the marking schemes 🙁
