Detailed Information
IGCSE Combined Science is a globally recognized IGCSE exam administered by Cambridge Assessment International Education. It is typically taken by Year 10-11 students and graded from A* to G.
TestPrep's IGCSE Combined Science program is fully aligned with the Cambridge syllabus and personalized to each student's individual needs. Regular practice tests and mark-scheme-based feedback support a strategic study plan aimed at the A* target.
Achieving A* in IGCSE Combined Science requires not only subject mastery but also full adaptation to the Cambridge exam format. Knowing mark scheme criteria and developing time management skills are the keys to success.
In TestPrep's IGCSE Combined Science program, our tutors set past-paper practice every week. The foundations built at IGCSE make a real difference at A-Level or in the IB Diploma.
Core topics include the biology, chemistry and physics core topics; the Extended tier adds material Core-tier candidates never sit.
We combine concise topic notes, conceptual questions and past-paper practice, with a weekly error-log review.
It depends on the target grade and starting level; typically 1-2 hours of tutoring per week plus 3-5 hours of independent work.
Paper structure, timing and weighting differ between Cambridge International (CAIE), Pearson Edexcel and the other boards, and Core and Extended tiers sit different papers. The plan is finalized once the board, syllabus code and tier are confirmed.
Core and Extended candidates sit different papers; all combine multiple-choice, structured and extended-response questions
Practical, oral or research component where applicable to the syllabus
We agree on a topic that fits the student's interest and the board's assessment criteria.
Per-draft criterion-based written feedback (e.g. analysis, justification, language).
Correct citation, source management and originality checks.
First draft → tutor feedback → editing → final submission.
Each topic is followed by past-paper questions from the student's own board and tier.
Every answer is compared against the official markscheme of the student's board.
Errors are tagged conceptual/careless/timing and reviewed weekly.

The mocks showed where my time was actually being lost. Over time, IGCSE Combined Science became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.

Marta Barros
I was taking IGCSE Combined Science at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. Over time, IGCSE Combined Science became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. Past-paper questions showed me how different topics could appear together. My confidence improved along with the results. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Erdem Korkmaz
I finally understood what was going wrong in IGCSE Combined Science. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. Past-paper questions showed me how different topics could appear together. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Akari Mori
We weren't sure whether online lessons would be effective. The overall experience was positive from beginning to end.
Poppy Warren
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. I was really happy with the lessons.
Mafalda Guerreiro

Isha Trivedi
When I started preparing for IGCSE / GCSE, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. After enough examples of the same question type, the repeated mistakes decreased. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. My confidence improved along with the results. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Over time, IGCSE Combined Science became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. Knowing the topic wasn't always enough; I had to learn which information the question actually needed. My confidence improved along with the results.

At the beginning, we knew very little about the IGCSE / GCSE system as parents. Flexible scheduling helped during a demanding school year.
