IGCSE success isn't about memorising more — it's about practising smarter. Here's the 8-week structure our top tutors use. 1. **Diagnostic week** — Take a past-paper baseline in every subject to map your weakest topics. 2. **Topic mastery** — Spend weeks 2–4 doing two focused 1-on-1 sessions per subject, with timed quizzes. 3. **Past papers** — From week 5, do one full past paper per subject per week under exam conditions. 4. **Mark-scheme study** — Re-mark your own paper using the official scheme — this is where the real grade uplift happens. 5. **Mocks & polish** — The final two weeks are full mocks with examiner feedback. Pair this with our free Growing Stars assessment to focus on the right topics first.
