📢 Moderator post October/November 2026 Paper Discussion Guidelines

32 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

October/November has started, and on behalf of the Moderator team, we wish everyone good luck on their exams! Additionally, we'd like to reiterate some guidelines regarding paper discussion.

--

Exam Paper Discussions - Guidelines:

YOU AGREE TO THESE GUIDELINES BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PAPER DISCUSSION THREADS

  1. Please do not participate in leaking/cheating or any activity which can constitute as malpractice by CAIE. All those who do so will be banned from the subreddit and there are no exceptions to this rule.
  2. Paper discussion threads should be created for this exam series as it is not possible for us to create every thread for every paper. Flair your post with the appropriate October/November 2026 'Paper Discussion' flair. The title of the created post must include all the relevant details. This includes the subject code, paper number, and variant number (for example 0500 paper 1 variant or 0500 p1 v1). Duplicated threads for a single paper will be removed. Discussions found outside of these flairs will be removed.
  3. No advertisements or promotional content in the original post or comments. This isn't the place to push tutoring services or study resources. Posts related to such will be removed.
  4. Your discussion post must be made after the exam paper is over. Making a post before or during it will result in removal. Kindly keep an eye on Key times to ensure track of exam time.

________

In addition, please take note of the following:

  • If you ask for the questions which came out for a specific paper before you are going to sit for it, it is considered as malpractice and a ban will be issued to all offenders. It is also not allowed for you to share what came out in the paper with candidates who have yet to sit for it.
  • Even if people have sat for the paper already, the act of asking for and receiving questions for a paper that you're going to sit for is punishable by a permanent ban.

________

We thank you for your cooperation and wish you the best of luck on your papers!

Regards,
- The r/IGCSE Moderation Team

🤲 Giving tips/advice Physics ATP notes

Thumbnail
docs.google.com
20 Upvotes

Hey guys these are my ATP physics notes which I would like to share with you as the ATP physics paper approaches. There are a few things that are covered in this notes such as:

  1. Analysis questions
  2. Other type of qns (graphs, relationships, experiments)
  3. Compiled 7 markers from 2020 to 2026 with their markschemes
  4. most common questions (I went through 2020 to 2026) and those were the questions I found a lot in those papers
  5. questions that I found difficult as some of you may find them difficult as well

I made this resource for myself initially but I wanted to share it to you guys so we all can try our best and get A*s for physics. There are also some tips I would like to give you guys for the ATP practice such as:

  1. Make an error list, this is something that many people forget to do and error lists usually help
  2. Draw tables with pen (you can draw the table first when pencil then outline it with pen) as we are unsure whether to classify this as graphs or diagrams
  3. For physics, do as many past papers as possible as there are a lot of calculation questions (I recommend doing atleast 3 years of papers). My notes although they were helpful for bio or chemistry is NOT enough for physics as physics mostly tests on mathematical skills in ATP.
  4. If there is an experiment you are unsure of how to do during the exam, try to apply your knowledge that you know from physics eg (resistance of wire -> differs using length and cross sectional area -> One kept as IV, one kept as DV)
  5. If you are stuck at a question, skip it before coming back at the end of the paper try for atleast 10 minutes of checking time and apply your physics knowledge to help solve it
  6. You should memorise the stuff written in my document by also ask: how? what? just be curious as it usually helps you understand the topic more in depth
  7. You maybe would like to watch youtube videos experiments in real life to show how it is done
  8. For graphs, NEVER draw a curve (line of best fit) or NEVER exttend the line unless told to do so as it costs you marks(also you dont need to start at the point of 0,0)

I hope this helps and feel free to ask me questions if you have any through this post or dms! I usually reply within 3-4h. All the best for your physics ATP and I have hope in yall! Lets do our best and aim for those A*s!

I may also add some things in this while I do PPQ so I hope yall don’t mind! stay strong guys 💪

October/November 2026 Paper Discussion Threshold for 0580/v1

19 Upvotes

i really wanna hear other peoples opinion about the grade threshold for 0580/21/41 bcs wtf were those papers, my guess is 2022 threshold but maybe lower then a few marks since i literally remember doing that paper during practice and i got an 87/130 not exactly the best score but the A grade was 67 maybe I'm just being stupid but 0580/21 was genuinely GENUINLY SO FUCKING BAD i wanna throw up i was on the verge of tears i seriously don't think I'm gonna get more then a 25 and sure 41 was slightly easier but that was still a tricky maybe it felt tricky due to exam pressure but i found A bit harder then my past papers my guesses for an A*-A-B would be i guess around

A*:120-135

A: 95-100 (kind of a bold stretch but idk)

B: 60-70

I've seen so many people say they're not gonna pass a thirty, and the highest I've seen is someone talking about how they're gonna get an "Easy 50," which is kinda insane to me since the lowest the threshold has been since non-calc was introduced was 60-67; I don't really remember, but around that

Is IGCSE/O LEVL economics hard?

Should I opt for it?

They say 6 months for economics when starting from 0 is very difficult to get a grade?

🤚 Asking For Advice/Help IGCSE 0625 P6 Line of best fit

6 Upvotes

after chemistry confused me in terms of line of best fit i have been wondering if its the same in physics in terms of line of best fit bc from what i know mathematically a line of best fit is a line in between points where there should be equal points on both opposing sides of the line but chemistry made it confusing since people drew a curve and a straight line through the points and i personally drew the traditional mathematic line of best fit ??
