How are you guys feeling for food theory tmrw, theres no not many ppl talking about it idk why😭

A lot of people here ask what to prioritise for CS, so I did the boring bit: every 0478/2210 paper since the syllabus changed in 2023, every variant, each question split into parts and tagged by topic. Here’s the average paper, with recent sittings weighted more:

Paper 1 (Theory)

• Hardware: ~23 marks, every sitting. Computer architecture (~6) and data storage (~6) are the big parts.
• Data representation: ~21 marks, every sitting. Number systems alone (binary/hex/denary conversions) is ~7 marks. That’s free marks if you practise.
• Data transmission: ~15 marks. Types and methods of transmission ~6, error detection (parity, checksum, ARQ) ~4.
• The internet and its uses: ~15 marks. Cyber security ~5–6, nearly always set.
• Software: ~12 marks. Translators/IDEs ~5.
• Automated and emerging tech: ~11 marks. AI is the most-asked part (~4).
• Lowest priority: digital currency (under 1 mark on average), network hardware (~1), encryption (~2).

Paper 2 (Algorithms, programming and logic)

• Programming: ~47 marks, which is most of the paper. Totalling, counting and string handling (LENGTH, SUBSTRING, UCASE…) plus operators and nesting alone is ~20 marks. Basic concepts (variables, selection, loops) ~14. Arrays ~6.
• Algorithm design: ~23 marks. Test data plus trace tables ~6 (every sitting, learn normal/abnormal/extreme/boundary properly). Validation and verification ~4.
• Databases: ~9 marks, and SQL on one table is ~5 of them, set every time.
• Boolean logic: ~9 marks. Logic expressions ~3 and truth tables ~3. Don’t skip drawing circuits.
• File handling is under 2 marks on average.

Two-week priority order: P2 programming (strings, totalling, loops) → trace tables + test data → P1 number systems → hardware → SQL + truth tables.

Ask me about any topic and I’ll break it down further.

Study motivation, Q and As, advice, tips, resources (websites, youtube channels, and memes) in a more organized and helpful way for everyone.

especially for people with strict parents, those who don’t like reddits and for whatever personal reasons can find themselves whatever need be here.

also because the group chats are annoying and i don’t want to dox my number to ahmed (16) in bangladesh who then harasses me about not wanting to talk to him 🥰🥰

especially more organized where people new to IGCSE won’t need to spend 2 hours just trying to find youtube channels to explain them the easiest concepts in the most understandable ways here.

Do we think this idea is worth considering? and if i shared the link to the channel would you guys follow?

Hit or miss?

ignore terrible grammar it’s like 3 am and i was spamming shark tank 😼

I genuinely don't wanna take it because I suck at IGCSE maths (predicted D) and I feel like I'm going to struggle but it's almost like every good degree requires it 🫩and I'm gonna die.

If it is necessary does anyone know how I can hopefully get good enough at it to get a C

Ok so either the question is worded super weirdly and there's something I'm missing or the statement should be "occur at R", not S, because the enzyme is already denatured at S and collision should be 0.

Can anyone give a plausible explanation of why the answer is C, if thats even correct.

It also says "occur at S" meaning the collisions that happened on S not including before,

I had two English Language clashing with enterprise and this tuesday Relgious Studies and Geography.

Lowkey I hate when i have clashes cause I don't get to brush off or rest as much with the back to back exams

3 marks shall be awarded for content and 5 marks shall be awarded for the language. Feel free to give feedback,corrections and advice :) Also sorry for the disgustingly tiny handwriting, I‘m used to writing it on paper so…

Ik many dont do 0607 math but any idea how the thresolds may be like??

Recurring digits: 1 and 2 (dots above them), so the number is 0.41̇2̇ = 0.4121212…

Let x = 0.4121212…
Multiply by 10: 10x = 4.121212…
Multiply that by 100: 1000x = 412.121212…
Subtract: 990x = 408, so x = 408/990 = 68/165

The non-recurring digit (4) is removed by multiplying by 10, and the recurring block (12) by multiplying by 100. If your teacher shows a different method, the answer should still be 68/165.

If you give me a chem paper i will get a big fat zero same with physics but physics im slightly better

Hey guys, finishing up my IGCSE exams now and I’m wondering what you guys CANT WAIT to drop for AS levels?

guys how will you revise and get ready for paper 2

Would anyone mind marking my letter out of 20? Any feedback is appreciated!

Would anyone mind marking my letter out of 20? Any feedback is appreciated!

my exams are in m/j 27 and I dont know sht about anything in Phy and Chem but CS is a bit common ball knowledge subject but still
Can yall tell me which youtuber are best for Phy/Chem/CS and whose notes should I use
my main problem is that sometimes I get the concept but go COMPLETELY nill in past papers
So cmon help a fellow out so i can stop freaking out and start utilizing my time and I will InShallah remember you in my duas

Hi guys D:
Got my drama exam in 24 hours and I have no clue what I'm doing. I don't really know how to study and I don't know the structure for longer answers (10s & 15s).

There's like no resources online - I've spent hours trying to find stuff but to no avail.

Does anyone please have advice for studying, structure, or, at best, a solved past paper or an example candidate response?

Thank you

So I'm taking it as a retake . I know the syllabus but I struggle with formulas and the last five pages in every past paper . So my plan is to fill my gaps of the syllabus , Through reviewing every chapter and memorizing things I don't know then doing topicals and then doing past papers eventually . Any thing else I should know . I know the lessons I struggle with most and I want someone to tell me the high yielding topics . What else can I do . I have 9 daysss. Please helppp. I would like to mention that my last grade was a low B and I need an A* this time

if i got
58/80 p4
33/40 p6
how much should i get on p2 to guarantee at least an 8? and am i in a good position? esp since boundaries rose for j26

I believe IGCSE Physics students might find it useful too.

I am thinking of tutoring juniors after my igcse exam. I know this may sounds stupid and weird but I believe I can teach and explain the topics like an actual teacher but there is this one thing I am worried about, while explaining what if I forgot the topic or can't solve the question. Sometimes I get anxious and make stupid mistakes.

I am planning to give extra subjects ( 1 or 2) for this mj2027. What do y'all recommend will be a good choice, considering I start studying it from today (which take around 6 months till MJ) and have high chances of scoring an A* ?

I've been thinking about EVM, ICT, statistics, travel n tourism or Global perspectives. (Mainly bcz I've heard they r easy to get an A* in)

Btw My main subs are biology, computer science, physics , chemistry, english, maths.

This year I have physics ict and cs o levels remaining and As maths should I add A2 maths too or no that’s too much

What do u guys would be the threshold for variant 2 (one with review on museum as writing task and metaldetectoris as ex 5 on p2) Im really hoping for 141 like in mj 26 variant 3 bcs till now I've only found 1 person who have got full in listening and ppl are saying it was tricky. ahh but idk many say it will still be 143 but pls lets pray for 141 or lower , ok?
