About IGCSE English
About the IGCSE English Exam
IGCSE English Language is a Cambridge language exam assessing reading comprehension, writing skills, summary extraction and directed writing components. Paper 1 covers Reading and Writing, while Paper 2 covers directed writing and composition. Students must recognize and produce different text types (article, letter, report, speech).
TestPrep's Approach to A* in IGCSE English
In IGCSE English Language, the reading section assesses explicit and implicit meaning extraction, identifying the writer's purpose and tone. The writing section requires appropriate tone, register and text structure for the target audience. TestPrep English Language tutors develop summary writing techniques (paraphrasing in your own words), descriptive and argumentative essay formats and Paper 2 composition types through regular writing practice.
