Cambridge IGCSE Combined Science, topic 17

Experimental skills

Every candidate sits either Paper 5 (Practical Test) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical), worth 20% of the IGCSE. Both test the same experimental skills: planning an investigation, recording results in tables, drawing graphs and biological drawings to the Cambridge conventions, evaluating experiments, handling errors and uncertainty, and using indicators.

Subtopics

Work through them in order. Each one has notes, exam questions and flashcards, and a PDF of each. Subtopics that are not in 0653 are left out.
