What is IGCSE Combined Science?
IGCSE Combined Science is a single award qualification.
You get one grade for appearing for the Combined Science Examination
This subject does not teach every topic indepth. On the contrary it helps the learners to gain a basic understanding of the concepts.
Like pure sciences, namely, 0625 , 0972 (9-1) IGCSE Physics, 0620 and 0971 IGCSE Chemistry and 0610 and 0970IGCSE Biology , this subject also has a choice between core and extended curriculum. Students may choose either to study the core curriculum or the extended curriculum.
The core curriculum papers are numberd as paper 1 [ multiple choice paper ]and paper 3 [ theory paper]
The extended curriculum papers are numbered as paper 2 [ multiple choice paper ] and paper 4 [ theory paper ].
Every student , irrespective of whether he/she is opting for the core or the extended has to then either opt for paper 5 [ practical paper] or paper 6 [ alternative to practical paper]. This is usually decided by the school in most cases.
The combined science curriculum consists of questions on Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
So the multiple choice paper has a total of 40 questions. There are around 13 questions on biology, followed by 13 questions on Chemistry and the rest 14 questions on physics. So the paper is a blend of questions from all three sciences.
Combined Science IGCSE Syllabus [ specification] : Here is why a knowledge of syllabus is essential
