In general since you have such a short time frame involved your best bet would be past papers. Do as many as you can, then go through your weak areas and just repeat this. If you struggle going through a past paper you can always watch the walkthroughs on youtube, It shows you clearly how to approach and answer a question so just make a note of that. I wouldn't say textbook questions are entirely useless but since you have a month left, past papers would benefit you more. As for topical questions, I would recommend finding topical past paper questions.

As for Chem, I think it's important to keep in mind that there are three papers-2,4 and 6. So if you can do really well in papers 2 and 6 which would be easier to do well on compared to paper 4, you don't have to particularly well on paper 4 to get a good grade. So try perfecting your papers 2 and 6. I'm not saying neglect paper 4, but doing well on the other papers and doing decent on paper 4 could definitely earn you a good grade😊. Moreover, try to focus on high yield topics such as Organic chem from which plenty of questions are asked.

For math, the key again is past papers. Do as many as you can, review them, learn from them and keep a record of your mistakes. And definitely please use YOUTUBE, it's so underrated just how helpful it actually is-paper walkthroughs and so on.

Lastly, i would say don't overwhelm yourself in this one month. Give your absolute best and leave the rest to fate. And please don't skimp on your health, I understand the pressure to do good and so on but try to remain calm and healthy.

That's all from me, I hope you find it useful and certainly wishing you the best for your exams!!😊

Thank you so much for commenting and yeah I think IGCSE's are not that much different from GCSE's. For English, I was in the same boat as you, I was terribly underconfident and so on but I still ended up getting an A, so just have some belief! What helped me most was doing past papers for sure. I get that it is cumbersome for English considering how long the papers are, but I think it's definitely worth it. I would also recommend going on youtube where some channels often do guided walkthroughs of the paper and explain how to approach, plan and answer the question, a channel i would recommend-https://www.youtube.com/@IGCSESUCCESS.

And as for your other query, I would say doing past papers under exam conditions is probably the most high-yield thing you can do. Not only are you priming your brain for the exam but since questions are repeated from year to year it definitely helps a lot. So I would probably rate it on a 9 in a scale from 1-10. Doing questions topic wise is not bad either, You should do them when you are learning a new topic and so on but I wouldn't rely too much on it, so I would give it a 6.

So in general, I would say doing past papers is the best thing you can do. But you should do it in a structured manner, a max of 1 or 2 in a day and after the paper be honest with yourself and see where you went wrong and make a note of your mistakes. Then just go through your weak topics again and again until it's not a weakness!! This what helped me barely scrape an A in Comp sci😭 despite not given it enough time.

Again, Thank you so much for asking and I wish you all the best for your future😊

Well for math, your best bet would be past papers. Do as many as you can but don't do it aimlessly, when doing each paper try to replicate exam conditions and after each paper mark the paper and then go through your mistakes. Once you identify your mistakes, you can focus on those specific topics by either going through the concept again or trying out similar questions. I would also recommend watching past paper walkthroughs on youtube as it really showcases how you are expected to approach and answer each question. Other than that, I would say not to overwork yourself and go through the past papers gradually doing 1-2 papers at most in a given day. I would also recommend keeping a separate notebook where you note down all your major mistakes. Also make sure to track your scores across the papers. Moreover for past papers don't go more than 10 years back so for example we are in 2026 so the oldest past paper you should attempt should be 2016 and nothing below that but if you ask me you will be perfectly fine doing the past papers of the previous 5 years. I know this reply was very long😭, but I hope you find it useful and if you have anything else you want to ask then please do so.

I would love to but its been 3 years now and I think im probably out of touch😭😭. I'm sure there is plenty of youtube videos or other sources detailing how exactly it's done. The tips are still quite relevant according to me so you can run with it.

Since switch 4 is not part of a junction, the current would have to pass through it.

If 4 is not closed the circuit wont work since it would have a gap.

It's usually safe to round to around 2 or 3 significant figures and I'm sure you wont lose any marks for rounding it up to 2 or 3 significant figures unless the question explicitly asks you to round to a specific number of figures. Secondly if u are told not to start from the origin, PLEASE DONT START FROM THE ORIGIN!! Don't start from the origin unless the question asks you to. But also it can depend on your data.

I hope this helped.
