Dear IGCSE Centre,
Am I allowed to bring a Periodic Table for my Physics Theory Extended Paper tomorrow in the PM session?
There won’t be any difficulty or something…
Hello Anushia,
Please kindly confirm this with your exam centre.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Igcse centre,
I have a physics theory paper this week. However, I am really confused about how to deal with significant figures in calculations. When I was solving one of the past paper I saw an answer of 426 rounded to 430, I could see this in many places. I always like to stick to 2 SF for calculations, will I be penalised for writing non exact answers to 2 SF in every numerical in the paper if nothing stated by the question?
Thank you
Hello Anay,
Unless otherwise stated, it is expected that candidates should round their final answer to 2 significant figures. However, intermediate values should not be rounded or truncated as this frequently leads to an inaccurate final answer.
We hope this helps. We wish you well with your exams.
Dear Igcse Team,
Is it possible for me to take all the Sciences included Science-Combined?
Hello Nicole,
You cannot take Science-Combined together with the three separate Science subjects (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) in a single examination series. We suggest that you download the respective subject syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ as it lists what you can combine with and what you can’t with any other Cambridge syllabus.
If you take the separate sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), you can earn three grades and it will enable you to enrol into a wider range of courses in the university later.

We hope this helps. Thank you.
Thank you Igcse Team for assisting me! I really appreciate your help!
Hi Nicole,
We are glad to assist you.
Hi IGCSE CENTER,
I have exams in May June,
I wanted to know, from your experience, whether I should solve more past papers(i have done till 2016) or I should do more topic-classified questions?
Thanks
Hello Kaboom,
We suggest that you answer up to 5 years of past papers. Start with 2020 past exam papers (November, June, March) set since they follow latest syllabus format then continue with the older ones. Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Read and annotate your textbook for the questions you got wrong so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.
You can also simulate the test environment by turning off your phone and isolating yourself in your classroom or in the library, and give yourself only the amount of time you will be allotted during the actual test. Don’t pause to look at your phone or checking social media, and try to treat the test like the real thing.
You may want to consider our A* Revision Courses too. We offer single payment courses where students can access all A* materials at once for four months. Please kindly check them here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/single-payment-option/
We hope this helps. Thank you.
Thanks
