  Hi Dani,
  
  Thank you so much for your kind words.
  
  If you take more than the minimum of seven subjects required to qualify for ICE Award, you must fulfil the entry requirements for Cambridge ICE (passes in seven subjects, covering the five IGCSE subject groups and including two different languages), your seven best results, irrespective of subject or group, will be used to calculate your Cambridge ICE grade.

  Hello Jassim,
  
  We suggest that you download the subject syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ to understand what is expected of you. Then start with the latest paper as they have the newest syllabus format and continue with the older one date back from 5 to 10 years. Revise on the most common mistake you always seem to make.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Hello Bruno,
  
  If you did register for ICE during your exam registration and have fulfilled the requirements of the subjects, you will be placed in one of the three categories:
  
  Distinction – Grade A or better in five subjects and grade C or better in two subjects.
  Merit – Grade C or better in five subjects and grade F or better in two subjects.
  Pass – Grade G or better in seven subjects.

  If you did not register for ICE Award during the exam registrations, you will obtain separate IGCSE certificates.

    i have applied for the ice certificate, so do i have a chance of getting a distinction? because according to this data u gave me, i shud get 5 A or better and 2 C or better, which i am sure about me doing. but i took a total of 8 subjects so if i get a D in one subject will i still get a distinction?

  Hello Yunus,
  
  Please read our answers below:
  
  1. Matrices, some construction, and loci are removed from the syllabus content. Please kindly download the Specimen paper to see the new question format.
  
  2. 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/
  
  3. You may use mechanical pencils when drawing diagrams or completing graphs while soft pencil (type B or HB) must be used for multiple choice tests.

      Hello there,
      
      Thank you so much for your kind words.
      
      Here are some tips for you:
      
      – Work through the paper carefully. Do not miss out any question for any reason – you may then start placing your answers in the wrong places.
      
      – Do not attempt to look for any pattern or any lack of pattern in the answers. In other words, do not worry about how many questions have been answered A, B, C or D and do not worry about the distribution of As, Bs, Cs and Ds.
      
      – Be confident in answering the questions. When you are well-prepared, confidence will follow.

  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.
