Use the school break to move an IGCSE grade: a three-phase holiday plan, past-paper practice with a live tutor, and our IGCSE classes from KSh 6,000 a week.
The IGCSE October/November 2026 series is under way. This checklist covers the things that cost marks in exam weeks: misread command words, poor timing, forgotten equipment and wasted gaps between papers.
First Language English (0500) and English as a Second Language (0510, 0511) share a grade scale and not a meaning. Who each is for, how the papers differ, and a two-hour diagnostic that settles it.
From the statement of entry to the sealed script: what an IGCSE exam day looks like at a Kenyan centre for the October/November 2026 series, and the procedural mistakes that cost marks.
Physics candidates lose more marks to units, significant figures and command words than to physics. Paper-by-paper technique for the November series.
Chemistry 0620 punishes three habits above all: balancing by changing a formula, mole answers with no working, and writing conclusions where observations were asked.
Biology 0610 rewards precision, not essays. The command word decides the mark, and most candidates lose to describe-versus-explain before content knowledge even matters.
Method marks are the currency of 0580, and mental arithmetic pays in the wrong one. The technique that banks marks even when answers go wrong.
How Cambridge IGCSE Economics 0455 is assessed: the multiple-choice distractor trap, precise definitions, labelled diagrams, two-sided evaluation, and an 8-week plan.
