I got a B in my English language, my teacher said I was one mark of an A grade, I want a re-mark but im too scared that I will be marked down, because I think that the examiner will be even more careful and mark me down. if I do get my paper marked down will I still be able to keep the grade I currently have? or will the remarked grade be the one I have?? I have no clue on what the chances are that I will get an extra mark to get an A grade.

  Hi Liz,
  
  Do not be afraid of getting “marked down”, there is no such thing, it is only in your mind 🙂
  
  If you really think you deserved an A, go ahead and request for a remark. The new grade will be your permanent grade, no matter if it’s higher or lower.

Hi guys

I’m Tao from Botswana and I’ll be doing my Form 5 finals around November. All my notes are up to date and I’ve looked through many textbooks and notes in my study time but it doesn’t seem like I’m picking anything up. I know the year just began so I shouldn’t worry much, but I want to be a 110% prepared when I do my Mocks and my finals. Do you have any tips for preparation?

  Hi Tao,
  
  The old saying “Practice Makes Perfect” is still never wrong till today 🙂
  
  You must work on past papers – a lot of them. Take note of the style of the questions, and what are being tested.

  Hello Jeanette,
  
  There are 2 sessions for IGCSE in a year. Once in May/June, once in Oct/Nov. For acceptance in university, you must contact the university directly to have 100% confirmation. For choosing the right course for you, you must follow what interest you most not what others told you to do.
  
  Remember, only you know what you can do better in your life and only you can create your own life.

    Hello Nik,
    
    As a “Private Candidate”, you will write your exam with British Council.
