Understand The System
Choose The Subjects
There are over 70 plus subjects available for IGCSE. It is worthwhile spending time going into them in detail to be sure of where your strengths are so you can make the right choices. The minimum number of subjects to be taken is 7. There is no limit to the maximum number of subjects that may be taken.
Create A Study Plan
Creating a study plan which allows you to devote adequate time to each of the subjects you have chosen is important. Keep in mind that some subjects may require more study time than others. Overstressing yourself is a danger so allow enough time for rest, relaxation and exercise. This will help you to stay fresh and alert and improve your ability to absorb what you study.
Studying
Once you have the plan in place, find a quiet place to study where there are minimum distractions and interruptions. Get yourself a comfortable chair and table – being comfortable will improve your focus. Get hold of the books and other study material you need and have them at a convenient location. Finding the right books etc. can be a problem, but if you join an online tuition course, the teachers there will be able to guide you on what you should use.
Keep Practicing
Use previous years’ question papers to practice. Practice can, at times, become repetitive and boring but it will help you to become more confident and comfortable in dealing with the types of questions you will face when you actually take the examination
