    Concerning Oct/Nov examination sessions

    Hmm. That is quite reassuring. I want to listen to more answers in order to make up my mind. But I guess I'll have to call the center.

    Concerning Oct/Nov examination sessions

    I'll try to describe my situation as briefly as possible. Right now I am taking 4 AS levels: maths, physics, biology, and chemistry. Naturally, I'm finding four subjects very difficult but I want to sit exams for all four so I don't want to drop any subject once and for all. I asked a few of...

    For those that are taking Arabic as a First Language.

    How do you find it? And do you know a quick way to improve you performance at it? It's not really my first language, and I'm finding it a little difficult. Arabic as a Foreign Language is really too simple for me and I feel like my level is somewhere in between those two, but of course, the wise...

    self study for buisness ?

    Yes, it's possible. I had an absolutely messed up teacher last year and I kept getting hundreds in that subject (mock exams), despite not having hired a private tutor. I would read, understand and memorise it all by myself. Self-studying this particular subject is very easy, but don't forget to...

    Don't do core. It's not a good idea. The maximum you could get in core is a C. Why don't you do the extended and get an A* at maximum?

    Who is sitting the exam in M/J 2013?

    I'm not sure, but I think that there is no reason why you should re-take biology. After all, it's your A-levels that matter most.

    How do u guys study biology efficiently?

    That's what happens to me in physics. Biology, as far as I'm concerned, needs constant revision. Only understanding won't help you, and only memorizing won't help you either. I think it's a mix of memorization, understanding and application. You should try linking previous knowledge to anything...

    Economics or Business or Accounting?

    I hope that I'm not too late in answering this. Accounting is "easy". You just need need a clear head and good maths in order to prevent confusion while solving. The nice thing about accounting is that once you learn a topic, you most likely will not forget it because you will continue using it...

    Preparation for business studies!

    That book shared by anwar2400 is the book that I'm using it. It's very helpful. I say, business studies requires memorization. You won't be able to analyse any case study in the exam if you don't have a foundation of business studies knowledge. Relate to your previous knowledge about business...

    Time management!

    I also like your nick, to be completely honest. I'd say it was the first nick that I noticed when I joined the XP community~!

    Time management!

    There's no such thing as "excess". The more past papers a student does, the better. A student should have many books to refer to. Had there been a single book that contained all the information and taught all the skills necessary, it would have been bought and no one would have to worry about...

    Time management!

    I say, study when you are in the mood to do it. If your aim is to study for your IGCSEs, you're not really under pressure at this point because you still have 5 months left. This information that you study while you are not under pressure is going to stick in your mind. Think of learning quotes...

    Quick Biology question

    Well, they have extreme pH's and will denature the enzyme/change the protein's shape and completely rid the enzyme of its function to catalyse a reaction. Unless the enzyme is pepsin, for example - because the presence of hydrochloric acid (pH 2.5) in the stomach is actually favorable for the...
