When it comes to your IGCSE Science subjects there are two things that I discovered are vital – firstly a good student book which explains everything and then secondly questions, lots of questions, more questions that you realize you needed. We have our student book so the next thing I needed was our questions and I totally took the easy route – I went for my tried and tested Triple CGP set (tried and tested with my oldest when she did both Biology and Physics). The Workbook, The 10 minute test book and the question cards.

This is my must have set for any IGCSE Science subject.

For the purposes of this post I am going to focus on the Workbook because we tend to use it first. We use the workbook as we work through the sections and we tend to use the 10 minute test book and question cards once we get the end of sections.

Okay so the workbook is a black and white, write in book filled with questions and there are answers at the back. There are NO explanations. This is a question and answer book. It covers all the topics as per the specification.

This particular workbook is for those targeting Grades 8 and 9 so the questions are a bit more challenging. There is also a workbook which has a bigger range of questions – CGP Workbook. We went for this one because we know we are going for an 8 so I wanted to have focused questions in this Grade range for my son.

The questions are varied and they have included a lot of the calculation/maths type questions (these are always good to practice).

They also clearly indicate which questions will only appear in Paper 2. Now I understand that at the beginning this is not going to seem that important, you are just focused on learning the content but later on when you are revising you are going to love the fact that you have resources that clearly separate out the Paper 2 only questions.

They also have included a set of mixed questions for Paper 1 and Paper 2 at the end of the book. I think this is going to be very useful when it comes to revising.

I know this workbook is going to be one of our important resources for Chemistry. We did every page in the Physics and Biology workbooks and I am sure we will be working through every page in the Chemistry workbook too.
