5The IGCSE refers to a test utilized in the United Kingdom and surrounding areas as a standardized test, equivalent to the high school GED of America. A lot of people think that being a teacher's pet, doing all the homework and being a nerd would make you top of the IGCSE's, but that's really not the case. If you're about to take IGCSE exams and you're looking for tips which will help you pass, this article offers some tips which will hopefully get you some good grades.
Do your homework consistently during the year.[1] When you do homework, you can test what you know on each subject, and you can look back at it for revision.

Keep it in your mind that you need to get grades from A-star to C, because a D or lower is a fail.

Read voraciously. Every weekend, just read through the text. One chapter of each subject; whichever one you prefer, but, try not to repeat the same ones every time.

Use your holidays and vacation as a time to study.[2] A steady, ongoing state of learning will have you more than ready by exam time, rather than trying to cram at the last minute. Those breaks during the year provide a more relaxing, yet still work-focused, time to keep preparing consistently. If you use these times to keep learning, you won't stress anywhere near as much as those leaving it all until the last minute.

Prepare in earnest from about six months, then really knuckle down at three months to go. This deeper learning and revision must begin well before the boards, so plan out a timetable and give up on about 90% of the fun you have been having at this point. It's serious study time! It may seem a long-term but it short in the bigger scheme of things and yet has such long-term impact, so dedicate yourself to the long-term outcome for the best.

1
Listen to the teacher's explanation throughout the whole year.[3] These will help you to retain the information and is useful to draw on in case you forget what something means.
Make certain that you do not leave the classroom feeling confused or lost. You should be able to explain in your own words any concept that you learned in class.

Use the mid-year examinations to pinpoint your progress thus far. After the mid-year examinations, work on improving your grades. For example, if you get a C in physics (or biology or chemistry), work on getting at least a B; if you get a B in maths, try to work harder for getting an A and so on.
Note: English is a language that you can't study. The only thing you can do to improve your skills is to read stories, books, magazines, newspapers etc. See "reading voraciously" as a strategy in Section One.

Study really hard.[4] For the next three months, read and learn all your textbooks (remember only the prescribed ones, there is no need to buy those guidebooks). Learn each and every definition. They will be in the test.
You may need to limit some of your extracurricular activities, so that you have more time to study.

Review historic exams.[5] For the last three months do and re-do the past papers from the last 20 years. Do them as many times as you can and check your answers from the marking scheme.
Review all the tests and exams done in class and learn from your mistakes.
Try to print out old IGCSE/GCSE papers, this way when it comes to the real exam you'll know how everything is organised. (Mostly from "Circle the answers" to definitions).
You can mostly find past papers on your exam board's website, and there are many other sites which offer them too.
