What is a good score in an IGCSE maths exam?
In the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) mathematics exam, scores are typically graded from A* (the highest) to G (the lowest), with U indicating ungraded. A good score generally depends on individual goals and the context, but here are some general benchmarks:
A* or A: Considered excellent. Many universities and colleges require at least a grade B or higher for admission, especially for math-related fields.
B: A strong score that demonstrates a solid understanding of the material.
C: An acceptable score for many students, often meeting minimum requirements for further education or vocational training.
D or E: Usually considered below average, and may not meet entry requirements for many academic programs.
Ultimately, a "good" score can vary based on personal aspirations, the requirements of specific educational institutions, and the standards of different countries or regions.
What should I do to get an A on the IGCSE math exams this October?
Little bit about myself - A* Mathematics (0580), 2017
First of all relax! You are going to be fine! IGCSE Mathematics is easy but tricky.
You said you want an A? Well lets aim for A*. Its on 19th October I guess.
Some tips:
Formulas!!!! Make a sheet if you have time otherwise BEG, BORROW or STEAL. Make sure you remember all of them or at least you are able to use them. The quadratic equation formula**, surface area, volume of a few quadrilaterals check (David Rayner if you can find a formula sheet), Simple interest, Compound interest, Cosine Rule, Sine Rule and its Applications, Sequence and serie
A good score in an IGCSE maths exam would typically be considered as achieving a high grade, such as an A* or an A. However, what is considered a good score can vary depending on individual goals and expectations. It's important to set realistic targets and work towards them, while also recognizing that everyone has their own strengths and areas for improvement. Ultimately, the most important thing is to do your best and strive for personal growth and understanding in the subject. Good luck with your exams! 📚📝✨

How do you achieve an A* in IGCSE subjects?
I took several IGCSEs in the Summer 2017 and Summer 2016 sessions, and managed to get 9 A*s and a B (in French First Language.) Does this make me an expert on the matter? Absolutely not. Everyone has their own way of learning, and you should find the one that best suits you, but I can suggest ways in which you can make studying more efficient and give yourself the best chance at meeting your goals. You can skip the next two paragraphs if you want to get straight to the tips.
The steps for achieving an A* vary greatly from subject to subject. The most important thing to tell yourself before you
How can I score A* in IGCSE math (my exam is after 5 days)?
The thing about maths is that it's all about practice (about 20% maybe less, what you learnt and 80% of how you practiced it).
First skim through all your topics. Anything you see that makes you think “I do not know anything that is going on” is a problem. You should have learnt this so give yourself a quick refresher on it (don't spend too long).
If you are fairly confident you have an idea of what going on (not perfect but enough) in each then don't do a refresher you don't have the time.
Now comes in the practice. Go into Google and search up - past papers , for IGCSE maths, from your board of examination (AQA, Edexcel, Cambridge). If your doing the new specification from 9–1 then you might also find a specimen paper but don't be too concerned if you can't.
Prepare yourself as if going into the exam. Your equipment is with you and you have looked over formulas you think you might need.
Under exam conditions with a strict timing do each paper and then mark then yourself. Do as many papers as possible per day.
This will get you used to exam conditions and highlight if you have problems with exam technique (timing, how you approach questions that you didn't difficult) that you need to notice.
By marking it yourself you need to also pinpoint where exactly did you go wrong (use the wrong formula, a negative where it shouldn't be etc.)
Rinse and repeat.
Good luck with your exam!

What is the best way to study in school and get high marks?
Oh, boy. This again.
I’m going to be frank with you. Don’t listen to the thousand of nonsensical stories of going from “D to A+” or “Ten habits to get you straight As in three months”…
Step 1 - Get rid of tech….warps your mind….kills brain cells…….
Step 2 - Sleep? Na, bruh, you don’t need that ……
…….blah blah blah. DON’T LISTEN TO THAT CRAP.
You know why? That’s what probably “works” for them based on their lifestyle and the habits that they possess. In fact, I don’t even think you need to be totally organized to achieve high marks. Just a little diligent.
I am going to tell you what the best way to get high marks is. And I guarantee you, it works without you sacrificing your life and draining your soul by sleeping less than 6 hours a day as some suggest. There is no secret recipe/brain type/race/or social group to achieving high marks.
Then only thing you have to do, is be DILIGENT. Yeah, one word. That’s it. Diligence.
You know when the teacher is standing at the front, breaking his/her back, writing on that damned chalk board? Look at them. Not at friends or that girl/guy you think is cute for the entire lesson.
When you are assigned a task, do it. Seriously, 40% of your problems are solved when you actually do your homework. Now I’m not saying sit up for four hours a night doing homework - that’s insane. But attempt a piece for every single section of a particular topic you are being taught for a particular subject. Whehn you have questions, ask the teacher before they complete the topic and move over.
Finally, read everything assigned to you during the course of the semester. A little bit every day, or per week. When it comes close to examinations, you just have to do minimalist revision. Cramming is not required when you are diligent.
Also, remember that amount of hours put in don’t matter. It’s the quality of then hours that you do put in that matter.
That person who goes to bed at 11pm at night saying “ We get so much of homework, it’s so hard to cope…” etc is probably sitting at a desk for five hours, texting for 4 of them. Why do I say this ? Because I used to be one of them.
Don’t beat yourself up looking for a secret formula when the formula is contained within yourself. You only need apply it
What is a good grade in General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) maths?
That depends. Current pass grades are 4–9, with 9 being highest, so 8 or 9 would be good and 6 or 7 average.
However, until very recently the GCSE pass grades were A+, A, B and C, where an A or A+ would be good, and before that the 'new'’ O level grades were almost the same but without an A+, which would have only been an A.
And before that the 'old' O level grades were different on different boards, but AEB, which has been superceded by AQA, had pass grades 1–6, with 1 being highest. Sadly, the new GCSE grades are an upside-down version of this system.
So, if you are dying to know, I got good gr
How do you get all As on your IGCSEs? Was it hard?
You can skip the following paragraph and continue for the direct answer!
I misunderstood the As with AS so my previous answer was irrelevant. Instead of answering this myself, I thought I shall ask a friend of mine, Abdullah Ashraf, who managed to score many A*’s, for his advice and here was his response:
“First of all don’t solve past papers with mark schemes open in front of you, as if you were thinking of the right answer.”
“After you completely solve a past paper, check what you’ve answered wrong and what was right. What is essential here is to know which part of your answer was wrong and why
How do I score A* in IGCSE?
Getting an A* Shouldn’t be too tough.
Make sure you’ve taken subjects you prefer/like. If you’re inclined towards the Sciences, don’t push yourself to take Geography or History. If you take a subject you don’t like, you won’t be able to study, or motivate yourself to achieve in it.
The Syllabus Guide is your Bible. Make sure, for every Subject, you’re clear with all the content that’s in the Syllabus Guide, as it’s what you’ll be judged on. Make sure you revise topics thoroughly, and, if your concepts are clear, the Examination will be a walk-in-the-park.
Do as many Past Papers as possible. These
How do I score A* in IGCSE?
I gave the feb/march 2017 examinations, and for the sciences, the questions asked were more analytical than the usual ones, and required more insight into fundamentals, or so I felt.
First off, you need to print a copy of the syllabus before you consider anything else. The syllabus is your bible, better worship it thoroughly if you aim to score big.
Also, you need to know all the important concepts like the back of your hand. Trust me, solving past papers of the last 10 years is no good without being thorough with your concepts. It is of paramount importance to leave no stone unturned and I advi
Is it difficult to score high marks in the IGCSE?
Scoring high marks in the IGCSE can be challenging, but it is achievable with the right approach, preparation, and mindset. The difficulty level often depends on the subjects you choose, your study habits, and how well you adapt to the curriculum's demands. Here are some key factors to consider:
Why Some Find IGCSE Difficult
Conceptual Depth
IGCSE emphasizes deep understanding and application of concepts, not just memorization. For students transitioning from a curriculum focused on rote learning, this can be a challenge.
Critical Thinking and Analysis
Many subjects require critical thinking and an
How can I score A* in IGCSE math (my exam is after 5 days)?
Make a plan to do in these 5 days to cover each part of the syllabus as well as answering as much as u can answer from the past papers. Solving problems is very very important, I recommend u to start with the most recent exams. Good luck
Will I find A level further math super difficult? I got an A* for IGCSE Maths and IGCSE Additional Maths.
Congratulations on your achievements.
If you have been able to transition from one level to another (in maths) from the age of five to now, and not found any major difficulties, you’ll have no problem going further. It means you have the aptitude for it. I bet math was easy for you.
But if you had been struggling all these while, and your fantastic score was a fluke, then you might want to reconsider your options. A level further math and additional maths in IGCSE are worlds apart. As an analogy, if IGCSE maths is level one, you’ll probably agree with me that additional maths is level five. Proc

𝐆𝐨𝐡 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐧 吴宗翰, 𝟑𝟗 (𝟑𝟎 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟓 - 𝟏𝟒 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓)
Olsen was a son, a brother and a good friend to many.
To them, he was their pillar of support, in good times and bad.
He believed that sunshine comes to all who feel the rain.
In the face of adversity, he was relentless in his fortitude and equanimity.
In the face of pain and uncertainty, he was focused.
In the face of end-stage cancer, he was stoic.
Above all, he navigated the storms in his life with aplomb.
In March 2019, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 EGFR mutant lung cancer, which was compounded by lupus.
He never questioned why he developed cancer.
He wore the badge of resilience on his sleeves.
One perspective remained constant: “To always live life to the fullest and always be grateful.”
It was his late father’s gift to him when he passed away from Stage 4 lung cancer, 20 years ago.
Olsen embodied and exemplified his father’s words and legacy throughout his journey with cancer.
Despite his condition, he continued to traverse life with distinction.
On the football field, he was the midfield general; the Andrea Pirlo of his team.
He was the engine, the dynamo behind the successes of his family and friendships.
Olsen was the gaffer of his life par excellence.
Olsen often had a good story, a little gesture of affection, a gentle word of comfort and his brand of self-deprecating humour.
Today, his little acts of kindness are not forgotten. His attention and anticipation of the needs of others were a balm to many. Today, they are his legacy and our memories of him.
As a cancer patient, Olsen was not only a mediator between his friends who were undergoing a similar condition but was also an efficient “handyman”, helping to solve many of the practical and ethical problems they faced.
Above all, he was a personal companion to many in their life journeys.
In fact, he was on a unique journey himself to set aside any obstacles that stood in his way.
Cancer was a teacher. It taught him many more life lessons, which he generously shared with others.
Nothing was more precious to him than being able to live, breathe and lead a normal, basic lifestyle.
When the cancer cells spread to his intestines in November 2024, after spreading to his brain several months earlier, he lost his ability to consume or drink.
Drinking water, a simple act for many, became a luxury. He yearned for recovery.
Alas, it was not to be. On the morning of January 13, 2025, Olsen’s condition took a turn for the worst, and he breathed his last the following evening (Jan 14). Olsen was 39.
He loved people and things he enjoyed with his whole heart.
He approached life’s ups and downs with enthusiasm and wit.
He had an infectious personality and effortlessly made friends with everyone he met.
His genuine care, patience and willingness to spend time with those he cared deeply about was unparalleled.
As early as his Pasir Ris Secondary school days, his approach to friendship made him friends for life.
His friendships were sworn and iron-clad fondness; he did his friends no wrong.
Friends became family.
He blazed the path and lighted the way, often going the extra mile for his friends, and in turn, they stood vigil for him and participated in his last office.
Olsen’s life is one of gratitude and tenacity.
He navigated the absolute chaos and beauty of this wild, fleeting life with poise; he was an inspiration.
Olsen left an indelible mark on the hearts of many, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and determination.
He will be profoundly missed. Rest in strength, Olsen!
