1. For alternative to practical, how should I draw the graphs?
   Should I use the full graph and how should I find a suitable range?

   • Hello Mia,

     When plotting a graph it is important to choose the scales so that the plots occupy more than half of the graph grid. Careless, rushed graph plotting can lose several marks. You should always use a sharp pencil and plot small, neat, accurately placed crosses. Then draw a neat thin best-fit line.

     Hope this helps.

   • Hi there,

     Yes. Candidates must write their answers legibly in black or dark blue ink. Candidates should be warned that pale blue ink is often illegible. Red or green ink must not be used.

3. Are we allowed to write in blank ink becuase I wrote all my papers in blank ink and today one of the teacher told us not to write in blank ink.

   • Hello there,

     You may use black or dark blue ink to write your answers. On the other hand, soft pencil (type B or HB) must be used for multiple choice tests. Pencils or pens in other colours may be used for diagrams and maps only if indicated on the question paper.

       • Hi there,

         That should not be a problem. Dark blue pens are allowed. Just remember to write legibly.

4. Hi IGCSE,

   I would like to know if the IGCSE ICT PRACTICAL PAPERS [PAPER 2/ PAPER 3] (FROM 2020) have theory questions in the practical papers.
   As the syllabus states that ‘Candidates must demonstrate the practical skills relevant to sections 11-16’.
   In the previous syllabus, it stated that ‘Candidates must have relevant knowledge on Sections 1-10″
   So does this mean there will be no theory questions in the practical papers? (There was no theory question the Specimen Papers).

   (I will be appearing for the May/June Examinations and I would also like some tips on Paper 1 (Theory) as I have some difficulty in learning that)

   Please confirm and clarify my doubt about there being no theory questions in
   Paper 2/Paper 3

   Thank You.

   • Hello there,

     We suggest that you download the Specimen paper here https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/ so you will be able to familiarise with the new question format.

     For Paper 1, do not provide generic answers when the question requires in-depth answer. Provide response that relates to the scenario or content of the question.You must give more than a statement in your answer by expanding on the points made. Justification and discussion of the points is also essential. Lastly, do not write brand names. It is clearly stated on the front page of the examination paper ‘No marks will be awarded for using brand names of software packages or hardware.’

     Hope this helps.

     • Thanks a lot IGCSE.
       I checked the Specimen Papers for ICT practical and there was not theory questions in it. So does that mean that there is no theory in practical in our syllabus for June 2020?
