Cambridge IGCSE English Language (May 3rd 2016) official thread

Can anyone give me some advice for tomorrow's exam, especially for the writing part?
I can't seem to get full mark on those.

argh so lucky haha!! You need around 35 + for an A* but aim for 40 so you know you've got a solid A*!

I think I got a B in my coursework & E in speaking and listening. (I don't know the figures) I am doing a core paper tomorrow so the highest grade I can get is a C overall. Can someone tell me how many marks do I need roughly in the exam to get a C overall!!

Have attached a document for most of the writing structures mentioned. Most of these are my schools but some are from the internet. The document includes recommended structures for a formal letter, informal letter, argumentative writing, news report, formal report, diary entry, journal (formal diary entry), speech, interview, narrative writing and descriptive writing. Please do let me know if there are any I have missed and I will attach accordingly. Hope this is of some help.

They'll tell you what "person" to use. You'll be asked to write as someone specifically.

But normally in a report or newspaper, first person would be used

Has anybody got any exemplar answers for the language paper 2? In terms of grade boundaries, some components limit the grade you can get so it depends how hard the component you attemp are.
