Is it just me or have they changed the examination trend in general?

[Lesley anne]

I find that papers this year are different from previous ones. Anyone else notice?

 

[saifeddin]

yep

 

[omaaaar]

How are they different

 

[krunchh]

I noticed that too..Usual topics that have been repeated for years in some subjects have been completely left out this year..

I totally agree with you! From the ICT paper3 to the dreaded mathematics paper42... it seems all different!

 

[Nadine Dhatly]

Yes! I agree! English Language was different too. Accounts have never come up before in Paper 2.

 

[Lesley anne]

Th dyu guys do chemistry? Thank god they didn't bring polymers

 

[mohammed sayed]

last years i see that exams was more easier! but this year alot of exams was trickyy!!!

 

[Lesley anne]

Yh especially math p4 that's like the hardest math paper ever

 

[mohammed sayed]

u r ryt but is seemed good with me!

Even economics for my case. Unusual questions came out

 

[Master Minds]

i agree, some of the papers were having totally new questions never expected. Like in Pak studies paper 2 a whole question was given on water resources whereas no other past paper included such question. Similarly in islamiat, there was no proper question on islamic legal thinking as expected instead two never seen before questions were given. Although i didn't appeared this time in math igcse (i gave it in nov 2012), i noticed some quite different and some really wierd questions, especially p4 last question. However, generally they were a bit confusing but not insanely hard for an average candidate.

 

[Nadine Dhatly]

Physics paper 32 was just awful. It was waayy too long and it had the weirdest questions.

Yh some papers were actually easier physics 31 was better than previous years

 

[thamer hsm]

not really, i just noticed slight variation which is usual and common each year.

i wouldn't say math p4.1 was the hardest paper, but i would definitely say it had a difficult last question (sequences).

 

[gonzaloiker]

The ict practicals were wayyy off pattern and really tricky although I wouldn't say that they were all that hard. Maths p4 was actually the hardest exam ever and I'm not exaggerating.

Yeah physics 32 was seriously difficult. But chem 32 was so damn easy!

definitely agreed!
