FAQs

Read some of our most frequently asked questions and answers

How do I use the CIE iGCSE Chemistry revision notes?

You can use them however you like! Either as bite-sized pieces for a quick revision boost or as a starting point where you can add your own notes from other sources.

Is the CIE iGCSE Chemistry exam hard?

iGCSE Chemistry is considered difficult firstly because of the number of concepts and theories that are covered. It requires you to understand and use chemical principles in various areas such as organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. There are also practical laboratory experiments that you will be required to undertake. Using our CIE iGCSE Chemistry revision notes will make this revision process a little easier for you!

Where can I find other iGCSE Chemistry revision resources?

As well as the official resources, there are a whole host of others out there. Remember that much of this information will be the same and that quality is better than quantity here - having 10 textbooks will not help you revise better! Pick the resources that are right for you and use these alongside your own classroom notes.
