Does anyone have any IGCSE Bio, Chem or Physics questions they would like to ask?

I received a grade 9 in all three of Pearson EDEXCEL Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and I would be happy to help you with questions on any topic :smile:

Hey 🙂 I took triple science and I enjoyed all three of Chemistry, Biology and Physics, so if you believe that you would enjoy all three subjects I would highly recommend choosing triple science as it allows you to delve deeper into each individual subject. For example, certain areas of the curriculum covered in each separate science subject (such as genetic engineering in Biology, or astrophysics in Physics) will not be covered in combined science.

ooh that sounds interesting, thanks! whats your opinion on the workload, or the difficulty? most people act I personally know say they picked it and flopped so went with combined. i don't think that will be the case with me cus I've always been fond of science- but is it really as bad as they make it out to be?

I personally found the workload manageable, and the challenging topics in each syllabus are what make each subject interesting! So if you have always enjoyed science, I would say go for it!

Firstly, I would advise you to make detailed notes during your lessons and then to convert your notes into questions and answers, which you can use to create flashcard sets on Quizlet. I would also recommend using the websites SaveMyExams and Physics & Maths Tutor, where you can access notes, flashcards and exam-style questions. Doing practice exam papers under timed conditions is also crucial as it helps you get used to the exam timings, as well as the different command terms such as "Deduce", "Describe", "Explain", etc. I personally don't think that you need help from a tutor as long as you are actively revising independently and doing plenty of exam-style questions. Good luck! 🙂
