IGCSE GP Exam Preparation Guide
Let your students know exactly what to expect in the exam and how to handle every question type. Our IGCSE Global Perspectives Exam Preparation Guide is a detailed analysis of the 0457 exam based on careful study of dozens of past papers and mark schemes since the 2018 syllabus change. It reveals the format and typical phrasings of every question type, and gives precise guidance on approaches and marking. With colour coding to aid comprehension of key features and thematic illustrations to break up the text, it is as appealing as such a document can be.
Not only an end-of-course review tool, this guide is also a valuable companion to the whole course, helping students make connections to the skills they need for their coursework projects as well.
A length of 12 pages makes the resource ideal for printing as a booklet if your photocopier has this function.
Helps make your exam practice relevant to your course and context. Features handy links to inserts, mark schemes, etc.
Distribute this key to your students and a few letters from you in the margin can provide substantial input.
