Hello,

I’m in year 10 in IGCSE. Is my year 10 internal exam important? Would it affect my university entries?

  Hi Celia,
  
  No, your Year 10 internal exams results will not affect your university?s entries. University is looking at your final results which is IGCSE.

Hi IGCSE Team,
I just want to ask you this question.
Will I pass if I get an E in any subject ?
Core
E is 40% of the exam’s mark right?

  Hi Omar,
  
  The passing marks of that subject usually depends on the exam threshold of that particular exam series.

Hi,
I have lot of difficulty in solving application based questions. Iam good at memorizing but not able to apply it. Iam in year 9 and will be giving igcse exams in 2019. Right now I feel I can’t even pass igcse as Ian not confident. Iam not scoring well in year 9 exams. Although I know all the answers iam not able to apply it.
English is also a problem area for me. I can’t comprehend the big passages. My writing skills are poor.
Iam really confused and scared how will I appear igcse in 2019.

  Hey IGCSE isn’t as hard as you think trust me! I’ve been through 2 years of it and 12 IGCSE subjects. I really suggest you read books in English if comprehension is what you lack. Also do as many past papers as possible! Past papers are super useful because these exams are all the same in the sense that Cambridge recycles and reuses the past questions! Also i’m in year 12 right now and doing my IB Diploma exams and trust me those are hard. You aint got nothin to be scared of if you believe in yourself and work hard for it! 😉
