Igcse Tips, resources and everything you will ever need!

--Igcse Tips--




& resources



you've come to the right place!

I'm an IGCSE alumni of the year 2021, I feel you and I feel your stress. 


Even though my batch didn't go through actuals, I actually prepared and worked hard for them and for the mocks.


Tbh IGCSE isn't hard, like at all. some few tips would make you ace it. 


                 STUDY SMARTER, NOT HARDER

PAST PAPERS, PAST PAPERS, PAST PAPERS

MOST IMPORTANT POINT, I cant stress on this point enough, I know you've got fed up with all those people telling you to just study past papers but they truly are your key to success. first year of IGCSE I didn't solve any past paper question or used them for my revision and I thought I was acing it, my marks were pretty good though I still thought teacher bring questions from Mars. I couldn't relate to those memes of what we study in class vs what come in the test as teachers literally get ALL, really ALL questions from past papers. Practice as many past paper question's as you can and I can already guarantee you get higher grades.

I personally used PapaCambridge throughout.

Flashcards 

I regret not using flashcards since the beginning of it, I used them around mocks time and they literally saved me. They're an efficient and a fun way to revise. Quizlet is a great flashcards app and website, I made my own and shared them with my friends, you can also search for ready made ones for the topic or subject that you want. If you're not a fan of digital flashcards you can even print them accordingly and its all for free. you can pay to get extra features which aren't necessary in my opinion.

and a bunch of great resources 

Znotes: free notes for almost all subjects, well organized and are so helpful. 
Save my exams: a life saver, I used their notes for Biology specifically but there are notes for various subjects, very organized and has diagrams and exam tips. It also has subject-specific past paper questions. 
PMT: physics and math tutor helped me so much with physics and other subjects, it has past papers organised per topic with mark schemes and some notes too. 
Footprints: has free animations to Biology, chemistry, and physics processes and some quizzes and questions to help test your knowledge. 
Ict lounge: has revision slides for all ict topics with lists of advantages and disadvantages for each device and system, very helpful. 
Yahmad: has all ict practical past papers and files to download, he also has a youtube channel that shows step by step solutions for every paper.

I hope this post was useful to you and hope you achieve great grades and ace your IGCSE's !!
don't hesitate emailing me for any inquiries or help, I'd be more than happy to help :)

Acrylic painting hacks for beginners

  A crylic painting hacks for beginners           Are you a beginner artist and is looking for some hacks on how to use acrylics in a better way? this post is totally the right one for you :) 1- Using a canvas or thick paper, never printer paper Printer paper is too thin for a thick medium like acrylic paint, it'll either tear apart mid-painting, or you wouldn't be able to pick up the paper afterwards; it may even bleed through to the other side. That's why you have to always make sure to use a thick paper, preferably canvas.  examples of stuff you might find at home and paint on: - a piece of cardboard (example from a tissue or cereal box) - a phone case - an old T-shirt (acrylic paint works very well as fabric paint too)  - last year's calendar, usually thick pages  2- Using 2 cups of paint water  Though its a very simple step, yet it affects a lot. not everyone mentions it when talking about painting hacks but I pr...

Helpful tips to ace your upcoming exams

Helpful tips to ace your upcoming exams  How many of you are stressing out about your up and coming exams yet is procrastinating by looking for 'ways to study' or 'tips on how to pass an exam easily'? Here are few tips and tricks I usually use while studying which are less boring and more effective. 1- Treats!! yes, treats. if a subject is long or boring, I usually do this method of setting checkpoints where I'd treat my self when I reach to that specific point. Like for example when I study physics, our book is divided into chapters and units, so I'd have a chocolate bar next to me and would only eat one bite of it if I finish a unit, this way it motivates me to finish the unit and move to the next one. But make sure to actually understand the unit rather than just moving on to treat yourself :) 2- Flashcards are key I regret not using flashcards for all my past exams, its a very helpful thing for memorizing all types of things like keywords, terms, and even fo...
