Well its that belief, and hardwork.... Once you get into it and enjoy then its easy.... And you need to have good base in both of the subjects I guess then they become easy too.... Every paper becomes toughest when you are not prepared for it... Do the pastpapers... Get help from teachers... Before its too late.... Good Luck!

and also i guess u get better marks becox of the percentile....whereas in normal skool exams people dont normally score As as there are no percentiles

 

[CaptainDanger]

Yeah I guess.... So hope for the best...

Well I got 5 A*s Alhamdullilah, but it was only due to hard work and sheer determination. For Maths I solved paper 2 & 4 twice from 2003-2009 and solved 1998-2002 once. Get your concepts clear, especially in chapters like transformations. Try doing syllabus D questions or O level Math past papers because they're tougher then IGCSE ones. Best of Luck :good:

i have 8 astars in IGCSE and now giving GCSE the toughest subject for me was mechanical physics and usually igcse papers are far easier to GCSE the key to sucess is a plan a stratergy to tackle every subject like maths you do the geometry equations,probability,and some other conceptual subjects just read the rules and formulas of maths given in your book dont try to solve papers its just a wastage of time.Try to work out on specific themes and use simple formulas.Make your own way of solving question just apply what is easy and try to stick to the topics in specimens.
