IGCSE Biology

That's what I thought, but then a friend told me the left hand side is the core part, and the right hand side is the extended plus core syllabus ._. So that mixes up both things doesn't it? :/ Or did I get the wrong idea? ._.

If you are taking the extended syllabus, you have to study both the left and the right hand side.

So I have my biology P61 tomorrow .-. Insha Allah. I was wondering, If you are asked to mention one reason in a question, and you give two, is it true they'll only mark the first one? Is it a good idea to list more reasons than required? (e.g 4 marks, and you give 5-6 points) or not? ._.

Alright so I don't know if a thread already exists about this topic, but I had a question about the syllabus ._. Have my cie on the 6th, so help will be appreciated ^_^
What part of biotechnology is actually included in the syllabus? :/ Cause that's one long chapter and there's way too much stuff in the book about it i.e vinegar, beer, wine etc, questions about which I've rarely seen in the past papers. And I don't get the syllabus or I would've checked it out myself ._. I mean there's no separate list for the extended syllabus :l

The formation of yogurt is important. You should also be aware of the antibiotics such as penicillin produced by a named fungus and the steps related to it. Learn the conversion of lactose to lactic acid in the formation of yogurt.

They don't. Do not write more then what's necessary, because they will only check the points according to the marks. i.e., if you write 7 points for a five mark question, they will only check the first five points and will not differentiate the wrong points from the right ones.

There is no concept of negative marking in olevels. But, I don't know a single thing about GCSE so can't help you there. Sorry

That's what happens here.

No negative marking in IGCSE either
