Tip to write concise notes: use the syllabus as a guideline for your notes. Take information that is relevant to the syllabus only.

@@way2saturn IGCSE is like the ordinary level and A Levels are Advanced levels.. If you have a good understanding of the igcse you would be able to do AS but its definitely a bit advanced and A2 is more advanced.. Which is the second year. But studying and working harder.. It should be fine.

Hey, thank you for sharing your IGCSE tips videos, by the way, I just have some doubts about the syllabus which I need to get clarified as soon as possible. - When they mention for eg: describing the role nervous system as the coordination and regulation of body functions, does it mean that the only things I need to know about the role of a nervous system are coordination and regulation of body functions? - When they mention for eg: describing Brownian motion in terms of random collisions between microscopic particles and particles in a liquid or gas, does it mean that these words must be there in your answer to a question asking about describing Brownian motion?

@itsonlyheather 4 ай бұрын

For the first question: Well it's true that the things you need to know about the role of nervous system are fall into the category of coordination and regulation of body functions if we sum it all up but it's best to not leave any part of your textbook and try to learn everything about nervous system that's in your textbook. Second question: It's not exactly a must to have those specific words in your answer. You just have to describe it using the theory of "random collision between microscopic particles and particles in a liquid or gas". You don't lose marks for not having those keywords but you mostly do need to use those words to describe it. I hope this helps!

I love your tips but for the first one to streamline your notes.. how do we know that information is imporant in exams cuz most of the time I make notes but I included unnecessary ones so how do we figure the information is necessary?

@itsonlyheather 5 ай бұрын

This is a good question! I didn't know which parts were important too when I first started IGCSE. So you'll only be able to know which parts are important after you've completed your first exam and have exposure to how the past papers look like. Then, you'll find out which information's frequently asked in past papers and that will be the necessary info.

@itsonlyheather 4 ай бұрын

Hello! I'm currently not doing my A levels but to answer your question, you can actually go to any university with O levels -- not just Cambridge. A lot of universities accept IGCSE O levels but you might need to finish A level or do further courses like OSSD, UCUK or take SAT exams to enroll.

If you don't have time, it's better you just do the past papers from your variant first. BUT I still suggest you to do all the variants for the recent years like 2022-2024.
