    IAL Biology on may-june 2014

    I checked with Edexcel's website -- the IALs are a new thing, started this Jan. I don't think they'll be discontinuing it this fast. Anyway, I'll be registering through British Council, they are always accepting private candidates. And my aim is to do half the units now and the other half in Jan...

    SATs

    Are you asking for a specific Subject Test or for the Reasoning Test? If you're asking for Reasoning, I recommend the Official SAT Prep Book (also called Blue Book) and the following books: Up Your Score and 2400. The latter are written by high scoring students and helped me to achieve a raise...

    I am in india and want to go usa after A level. What should i do?

    Sit for the SAT Reasoning, and preferably also the SAT Subjects. You have to apply in December 2014/January 2015 for entrance in Fall 2015. They accept predicted A Level results for the admissions decision. You'll probably also have to do TOEFL or IELTS, if you don't have good scores on your...

    IAL Biology on may-june 2014

    Hi! I'm new to Edexcel, I previously sat for the CIE AL Biology qualification, but I didn't do as I hoped, and I can't enter again due to centers with practicals not accepting private candidates anymore where I live. I'm hoping to do the AS Biology qualification in M/J 2014, but I have a...

    New to Edexcel, help please?

    Hi everyone! I did my IGCSEs through CIE, and started on my A Levels with them too, but due to centers not accepting private candidate for Bio, Chem, & Phy where I live anymore, I had to switch to Edexcel for these three subjects. I read the specification PDFs for the IALs, but there's one...

    How did u ppl do in the Physics paper 3 2012 today?

    I did really bad, even though the paper looked easier than I expected. Unfortunately I had trouble concentrating and messed up big time -- I forgot to convert cm to m, min to seconds, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows whether I can cancel the scores for a subject, like with the SATs.

    Geography paper 12.. wtf?

    I answered with a couple of reasons about why some towns have grown in areas which would otherwise have a low population density. I think I wrote 5 reasons but I remember writing about how maybe the people didn't move away due to relatives living in the area, how maybe the income was...

    How CIE calculate the curve

    This is weird! I didn't notice this till now! That means I should be happy about the A I got in Bio last session, because I know there is no way I could've lost only 5 marks overall. I tried to do some sort of calculation earlier and felt something's wrong since everywhere it is said that A in...

    0460 geography paper 1

    Well, how did your exam go? I think I did great, compared to what I'd done previously in the past papers. Which variant did you take? Mine was paper 12. Which questions did you answer? I answered 1,2 & 6.

    Geography paper 12 2012

    I was quite happy with what I did, considering that I had spent the night before cramming without really having studied most of the book. I used CIE's book btw. It is very neatly ordered, for each topic you have at least 2 case studies, etc. I answered questions 1,2 & 6. Btw where are you...

    IGCSE Geography P1 0460/12 Urgent Help!

    I have solved a couple of past papers so far, and on all of them it says to answer only 3 questions. And that each question is worth 25 marks. My question to you is, if I answer 3 questions, and I get for example 35 or 40 on all 3 of them, and I answer maybe one or two more questions, will CIE...

    Mine's on Tuesday too. AM, by any chance? Where are you giving it? I have no tips, I'm looking for tips. Do you by any chance know whether we will be credited if we answered more than 3 questions, but made some mistakes in a few of them? Will our marks be compensated by the correct answers to...
