    I have my Biology paper 4 in like 6 days and although I got good marks in mocks it feels like I'm forgetting everything and find it difficult to get the mark scheme points in my answers... thank you for the tips

    Rattafication is the best qualification for the examination- my mantra. Start early. Use flashcards, use mindmaps, summarise the content but memorise it. Rattafy to death. It got me a 7 and in the past i was barely 2-3 so rattafication undeniably works. I agree with knoe the specification etc

    is there any chance of something coming up on the exam that is not mentioned in the specification? Caz my school gives extra notes and stuff which are definitely not mentioned in the specification... so i am confused on whether i should study them. Including the textbook also has extra stuff again which are not mentioned in the specification

    Hey, thank you for the hard work you have put in for the IGCSE tips videos, by the way, I just have some doubts about the syllabus which I need to get clarified as soon as possible.
    - When they mention for eg: describe the role nervous system as coordination and regulation of body functions, does it mean that the only things I need to know about the role of a nervous system are coordination and regulation of body functions?
    - When they mention for eg: describe Brownian motion in terms of random collisions between microscopic particles and particles in a liquid or gas, does it mean that these words must be there in your answer to a question asking about describing brownian motion?

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  9 месяцев назад

      Hello! This all depends on ur preferences but i only needed tution for english just because i needed a teacher to check for me the written part, and for arabic because i was really struggling since schools here really neglect it. Other than that, i always had the mentality that all i needed was school and self studies, not tuition, and having many tuition classes meant not having much time to study other subjects

    Assalamoalikum !
    Can you guide a bit about igcse cambridge for international students in biology and chemistry as it is the demand for university admission in many countries , also which books u used for the course is it from o levels? And can we register privately for the test on CIE igcse cambridge?

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  9 месяцев назад

      Wa'aalaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuh
      What would you like to know more about for igcse cambridge biology and chemistry? I did this video as a guide for biology and i recently uploaded a video about chemistry that I could link to you, but if you need any other help related to these subjects please let me know what exactly in these subjects you need help with
      As for my cambridge igcse biology textbook, i used the official "cambridge university press Biology for cambridge igcse" textbook. Buy the newest edition/verison of this textbook, which is the 4th edition that has a bee on the book cover
      Yes you can sign up as a private candidate by going to your country's British Council and registering there for the igcse subject you want, that's how you take an igcse subject as a private candidate (taking a subject outside your school in the council)
      If you have any questions or if anything wasn't clear let me know!

    • @ksagalleries
      @ksagalleries 9 месяцев назад

      @habibaLotfy thanks for your reply , I actually completed my 12th grade and my previous studies were not a or o levels but for university admissions they require the igcse test in biology and chemistry, I am concerned for the preparation and thinking of which books will be good to go for also u took the digital or the paper test?
      And can't I give it on my own from igcse cie official website or is it necessary to give through a school?

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  9 месяцев назад

      For igcses and A levels, there aren't any available online exams. Igcse chemistry and biology both have 3 papers you have to write at a school or the british council on 3 different days (schedule will be provided when you register and ask for it)
      Igcse exams are given at ONLY 2 times of the year: October or may/june. So the next exams will be on may/june 2024
      (except for india, which has their exams on February)
      I highly recommend you check the syllabus for both subjects since it has more information on the curriculum and content of the exams
      Biology syllabus:
      www.cambridgeinternational.org/Images/595426-2023-2025-syllabus.pdf

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  Год назад

      I'm still very undecided but definitely something related to medicine hopefully!
      Start as early as you can with past papers! For grade 9 i recommend you do classified papers or topical papers, which are basically questions from past papers that are organised into the topics you take, so that you focus on each topic seperately. Then, in grade 10 after you finish taking allll topics, start doing full past papers!
