I did paper 22, two particular questions were difficult and with my bad luck they were both 4 marks each ( and by the time i figured out how to do it, it was times up :(

where do u stay??? I too have paper 42 on Tuesday :D

I have so far given 5 subjects (EMV and hindi in 10th grade), business and ESL in May, and this session i decided upon maths and travel and tourism. Next session gonna give IGCSE Sociology and history plus A level thinking skills :D, how about you??

Ohhh sad its gonna be ok no worries... the thing in paper 21 that was hard for me was venn diagram.. but the rest was a bit easy.
I took bio, chem, physics, math, business stud, and english (0510). doing it all this october november session of 2016. we dont do in sections here .. we do all together in gr.11 gud luck for ur exams!

Ya we do it together in grade 11 as well, but when i was in eleventh, an issue came up, so here i am doing it 3 years later for fun. but the good thing about it, is that u are not obliged to take subjects provided by the school. I mean we can choose absolutely any subjects, so thats what i am doing, selecting subjects that i enjoy :D
Thanks and Good luck to you too :D Did u give English already??

oh i couldnt help but notice that u r a fan of mortal instruments :D

How was biology paper 42? (0610)
i took bio paper 42 and i have to say, this one of the hardest bio papers i have ever solved in igcse. the thing is... it was really long and had plenty of new questions that didn't appear in the past papers. however thanks to some of my knowledge in as and a2 biology, i was able to save myself in a few questions.

Oh god! can't believe even after studying a levels bio u're saying that. It looks like the papers are getting harder as the years pass
Which grade r you expecting?

i don't know. i found paper 22 and 62 to be easy so i think an A* is possible. for an A-level student, paper 42 was okay but for an igcse student...this is one hell of a paper! and since this is an igcse exam , i am talking from a side view of igcse student. it's very awkward how i got an A in As bio and i still find some difficulties in igcse bio.

A levels or IGCSE, nothing like that. all depends on grade thresholds, cant really say about difficulty coz from my experience (having given both sessions), i can say that some papers can be difficult in may/june as well..........

btw have you done A level psychology?
