33 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 beΒ removed. Discussions found outside of these flairs will beΒ 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 beΒ 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 onΒ Key timesΒ 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,
- TheΒ r/IGCSEΒ Moderation Team

October/November 2026 Paper Discussion Am I the only one who worries about this?

26 Upvotes
  1. My handwriting has been kinda shi ever since exams started. I think its cuz of my sitting position .

  2. I have been writing my name regularly instead of in capital letters.

  3. My maths working is unconventional and unorderly so even if my ability is strong i may lose method marks and what not

  4. There were many instances where my answers went past the provided space, so i had to use either additional paper, blank pages or outright adding extra lines to continue.

If there is anyone who has crap handwriting and unconventional maths working who got good grades pls mention yourself. Im so afraid of the examiners marking me down because my handwriting and overall work presentation makes me look like a dumbahh😭

❔ Question Were the students last year in the same predicament as us?

3 Upvotes

during these oc/nov exams very time I go onto reddit, thankfully people either agree that the paper was good or that it went okay or really bad. but were the students last year also using reddit as much and wondering the same things? bc I would say for my subjects:

History 0470 - went fairly well, Vietnam crushed me πŸ’”

Biology 0610 - paper 6 was veryyy easy and paper 4's layout was unexpected but not at all hard

Business 0450 - I would say paper 2 was better than paper 1 for me but paper 1 was still good, that last questions about the statement of financial position though...

French 0520 - ive only done comprehension and oral so far and they were fine, excluding the fact that my oral sucks

Regardless of my subjects and syllabi codes, I still wanna know if other ppl felt this way about their exams?

❔ Question how much would I realistically get if barely related back to my own knowledge in 0470/21
