Cambridge Board Upper Secondary IGCSE Study Plan to Maximise Score

Exam talks

Study plan plays a crucial role in exam preparation. It helps students to focus on all the subjects equally and not miss out on studying important topics. Also, we have provided some best preparation tips to help the students perform well in the exams.

  • Study Plan for English: Preparation for the English exam is quite easy if students concentrate on developing their reading and writing skills. To enhance these abilities naturally, students can go through various sources that offer good vocabulary. Reading magazines and newspapers often and trying to write about the learnt subjects on their own will increase communication and writing skills. Students should focus on improving and rectifying their grammatical mistakes to deliver excellent performance during the exam.
  • Study Plan for Mathematics: Practice is the key element of success when it comes to Mathematics exam preparation. Students should revise all the formulas from every chapter and ensure that they know the problem-solving methods efficiently. To develop the speed and accuracy in problem-solving, it is essential to practice the problems daily.
  • Study Plan for Physics: As the Physics exam contains numerous derivatives and formulas, students can draft notes on them and practice them regularly. Understanding the concepts of Physics is crucial before the students approach any problem. Conceptual understanding can help students build the fundamentals required to answer any level of question asked in the exam, whether it is easy or difficult.
  • Study Plan for Chemistry: To clearly understand the concepts of Chemistry, students can go through various video explanations that explain the mechanisms of reactions. Also, students must ensure that all the chapters of Class 9 and 10 are studied perfectly so that they can answer any given question in the exam. Students can draft a timetable and set daily targets for studying each chapter efficiently.
