  1. HI IGCSE CENTER I WANT TO ASK YOU THAT WHY CAN’T WE BUY THE SUBSCRIPTION TO MARK OUR PAPER WITHOUT CREATING THE PAYPAL ACCOUNT BECAUSE I FIND I VERY DIFFICULT TO USE AS COMPARED WITH OTHER PAYMENT APPS ONLINE AND IF NO THEN TELL ME HOW TO LINK OUR BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE PAYPAL APP TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS????

    • Hi William,

      You can revise the subjects 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.

    • Hello Fisayo,

      With Science subjects , you’ll need a lot of practice.
      1. Learn and understand the key concepts and formulas. Familiarise/memorise the key equations/formulas (refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ ).
      2. Do revision based on the latest syllabus and practice with the latest past exam papers. 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.

      Tips:
      Minimize your reference checks. Try solving a problem with the formula without looking it up. You MUST do this as many times as you can. You will be able to remember the formulas/key equations better when you repeat this step.
      Hope this helps.

  2. Respected Sir/Ma’am,
    I would like to express my utter gratitude to IGCSE Centre for aiding me in my endeavours. No other site could compare to this and I am disgusted to how people stoop to such low levels. I would like to express my appreciation and my wishes to you. All the best!
    Although I did not get to use the website a lot, since my past paper journey recently began, I never would have thought that such an valuable and kind, thoughtful website would have to be punished for the acts of disrespectful, pompous students.

    I would like some advice on how to proceed for subjects like Hindi as a Second Language or Business Studies.

    Forever indebted to you,
    Dhruv

    • Hello Dhruv R,

      Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate comments like this.

      Here are some tips for Hindi as a Second Language: To improve your writing skills, the most important things you need to do are: read a lot and write a lot. Try to read Hindi Articles on various topics which will likely come up to the exams. For example: Health, Tourism, Science and Technology etc. We can’t stress enough of “read a lot”. By reading, you will gain tremendous knowledge on how to phrase your sentences, types of vocabulary, style, etc… Besides reading, you ought to practise writing as well. You have to put to use what you have learnt. Practice with past exam papers. 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.

      On the other hand for Business Studies, demonstrate the application of knowledge and concepts using the given scenario. This doesn’t mean simply referencing the business name. Analyse the issues faced and make suitable recommendations as to what this particular business should do. Always use the information provided in the case study or question stem as a guide in considering what to write.

      Hope this helps.
