If you want an A* in IGCSE Chemistry (0620), past papers are the quickest way to turn revision into marks. The same question patterns show up across Paper 2 multiple choice and Paper 4 theory, just dressed in new numbers and contexts. Once you learn a repeatable method for each pattern, you stop dropping marks […]

Most students don’t fail IGCSE Chemistry because they “don’t know Chemistry”. Marks are usually lost in predictable places: sloppy method, weak exam language, rushing calculations, and ignoring practical-style thinking. Fixing a small set of habits can change the outcome quickly. 1) Treating Chemistry like memorising notes What happens: you can recall facts, yet you can’t […]

A 30-day plan works when it’s built around exam output: past-paper accuracy, clean explanations, and fast calculations. Your aim isn’t to “cover everything” once. Your aim is to loop through the syllabus, then loop again with timed practice, then spend the final stretch fixing repeat mistakes. The non-negotiables (do these daily) 30 minutes Paper 2 […]

The “hard” parts of IGCSE Chemistry (0620) usually aren’t the topics with the most content. They’re the ones where marks are lost through setup errors, weak explanations, or messy practical thinking. These are the areas most students struggle with, plus the simplest ways to get them under control. 1) Stoichiometry (moles, equations, concentration, yields) Why […]

An A* in IGCSE Chemistry (0620) is built on three things: rock-solid fundamentals, fast and accurate exam technique, and enough past-paper practice to spot patterns before you even finish reading a question. Chemistry isn’t about learning huge chunks once; it’s about revisiting the same ideas until they feel automatic under pressure. This guide covers what […]

Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry can feel like two subjects in one: ideas you must understand, and questions you must learn to answer under time pressure. This guide pulls the syllabus into a clear map, breaks the big topics into smaller revision chunks, and gives you a practical way to study so your marks move, not just […]

IGCSE exams don’t just test what students know. They test how well students apply knowledge under time pressure, interpret questions accurately, and present answers in the way examiners award marks. Many students walk out of an exam feeling they “knew the content” yet lose marks on avoidable errors: misreading command words, skipping steps, poor time […]

Past papers are one of the fastest ways to improve IGCSE grades, yet many students use them in a way that barely moves marks. Doing a paper, checking the answers, and moving on feels productive, but it often repeats the same mistakes. Past papers work when they are used as a training tool: timed practice, […]
