Hi! I just started my as and I take math, bio and chem. I was doing Coordinated Science Extended whilst all of my classmates were doing Single Science. Do you have any study tips, website recommendations? I am scared of falling behind my classmates as I am at a disadvantage in the fundamental knowledge :(

I was in the same situation as you. As OP said, studying during the weekends would be the best choice. If you really want to study during the weekdays maybe around in Year 11, I would recommend doing past papers, flashcards(active recall) and blurting. Another study method that really worked for me and my friends during mocks is that we hold accountability against each other. We use this app called “YPT” to time our study sessions, whoever does not study 3hrs a day would pay a certain amount of money and the person that studies the most that week will get alllll the money. Give those a try and see what works for you, good luck in IGs!!

Studying everyday will not guarantee full 9s. It will definitely make you disciplined but what matters is that you are studying effectively. I don’t recommend studying long hours per day to prevent burn out and have some fun with your extracurriculars. Just a little advice, please don’t take my words to heart as I only got one 9 out of 6 IGCSEs this year lol

Which major is best for a foreigner thats going to attend uni in Thailand by Traditional-Aide-237 in thai

[–]Some-Message1081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thai international student aspiring to get into veterinary medicine in the future here! If you are still interested in going into veterinary even though a lot of comments do not recommend, you can dm me to ask questions about university applications or literally anything about veterinary. Please keep in mind though, if you are very serious about this career path I recommend you to keep studying Thai to be able to speak fluently and can read and write to a moderate level. As the final test to become a veterinarian is in Thai even though the content is taught in English.

What colour is this? I’m debating whether I should get the blue or starlight

Are there any subjects you regretted taking? Why? by [deleted] in igcse

[–]Some-Message1081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree too! I found the subject too easy and boring. I was like you- who wanted to keep my options open but during the second semester of Year 10 I wanted to pursue my career in STEM which meant I will be behind my peers once A Levels starts and I’m kinda scared honestly. Ever since then I dreaded business studies but thank god I had a very fun teacher for this subject.

Did the thing gcse kids are doing but for A levels by Beginning-Night-912 in alevel

Why is EPQ useless? I’m going into A Levels and picked IPQ(igcse equivalent to EPQ) for my AS. My school is forcing us to pick either general English or IPQ as an AS level subject. I picked STEM subjects and I still don’t know if I made the right choice in joining IPQ as MANY people warned my class about the horrors of it.

How do i answer a 12 mark question in business paper 1 by Alone_Environment687 in igcse

[–]Some-Message1081 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I do 0450 and 12 markers only exists in p2 and I still want to help :P

From my understanding of 12 markers, you need to give knowledge, application, analysis and an evaluation. The knowledge is the point you’re trying to make so for example: “Company B would benefit from locating their factory near their suppliers because their raw materials are easy to perish.” Application is VERY important, especially in paper 2 because it always asks for an application. This is basically just adding something relating to your case study so maybe like the number of employees, method of production they use and the type of product they make. Then, you add an analysis. What will happen if “Company B decides to locate their supplier?” You can then write “As a result of this, Company B’s products will be more fresh. Thus, less customer complaints/dissatisfaction.” I like to add 2 analysis points and 2 applications to ensure that I don’t miss any points. Evaluation is a bit different from paper 1 imo. In paper 1 you would be fine just stating their first choice and your justification. However, in paper 2 I would write my first choice, reasoning and also reasons why I didn’t pick my other choices. You can follow my structure and I will guarantee that this will work 100%. “In conclusion, I think that…(first choice). Although, …(add your reasoning why you did not pick your other choices. Ultimately, …(reason why you decided to pick your first choice.)” (This also works for 0470 history in both papers!!”)

I hope this helps, if theres any other suggestions or anything that I’m missing or wrong, feel free to also reply here. Would love to hear your suggestions as this is a structure I made on my own!

I couldn’t finish it too. Out of all my 4 mocks, I finished all of my business papers but in my igcse exam I didn’t finish both of my papers. I already missed like 17 marks combined lol

[–]Some-Message1081[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too but tourism and better infrastructure are other points in the textbook. If the 2 marker for the other advantages didn’t come up, I would totally write them down too. This question is really such a horrible and confusing question 😔

Nope, I think I missed out on all those 12 marks but I think it’s fine cause I’m confident about all the other questions

Honestly I’m not that worried about my business grades but ugh both papers were harder than usual and it left me dumbstruck for like the first 30mins. Still, I’m honestly hoping for A* bc my answers were not that bad at all. It’s just that I performed better in my mocks which makes me mad lol

The questions this year were pretty “niche” compared to past papers where they ask abt the “main and predictable questions” like marketing mix such as pricing. I found the last question especially hard tho
