You walk into a room and see someone talking.... And then it hits you, you have experienced this moment before! I am sure that allot of us have been in such a situation. However, there is a scientific explanation for this too! Many scientists believe that this is some sort of a short circuit or a malfunction in our brain. Theory #1: There are many theories surrounding this phenomenon. The first one revolves around the concept of familiarity. The fact that the brain might confuse it with something that we are familiar with instead of something that we remember distinctly. Theory # 2: 🔬 The other theory is about delay processing in the brain! The fact that the brain might process the signal twice, hence making us feel like we have seen or experienced the situation before. Overall, the cause of Déjà Vu is still disputed upon. With many scientific theories trying to back it up, it is still something that science needs to completely decode. Anyways that's all for today! Com...
Ways to ace your chemistry IGCSE or GCSE exams...😊📄. Bonus Common Questions included
So, I gave the IGCSE chemistry exam (0620) this summer and here are some tips and tricks that got me through. If you guys want a series in which, I give you guys the notes which I used to prepare then comment down below. 💬
Format your notes in such a way....
If you find it difficult to write the notes down on a piece of paper or you find it difficult to organize and efficiently manage the notes; then do it on your computer.
JUST A REMINDER: You can even use simpler programs like one note or memo for this.
Okay so if you look at the way that I structured my notes, below:
You can see that I have grouped some important headings separately.
In this case, I have kept a separate page for common questions. This is because these questions repeatedly showcase themselves, in the coming papers. This helped me a lot to navigate my way through the exams, knowing that at least I would get some questions right.
Disclaimer: not all the common questions would appear in the IGCSE papers but sometimes the examiner just likes to paraphrase or derive a different question on the bases of the previous concepts. Afterall, IGCSE and OLEVELS is a concept- based examination and helps the students to develop their critical thinking skills.

I have dedicated a separate page to definitions because, although it's an often-overlooked strategy, mastering the meanings is crucial to excelling in the examination; you must make an extra effort to know them by heart.
2) Take a look at the syllabus:
This is a free guide given by the Cambridge organization itself, to guide teachers and students to prepare for what can come in the exams. And though it can be excruciating to cover all topics in detail; once you know them by heart, you will feel more confident than ever; to excel in your exams.
3) Practice Past Papers:
A few months before the exams, ensure to practice past papers as much as you can. I know that a lot of people suggest reviewing the syllabus again. But by that point you should be well-versed in the syllabus and should be able to attempt the questions.
Trust me, I have done this before, and I got less than my predicted grades. I was very dissatisfied and decided to do as much as I can to improve the way that I carry out my studies and I found practicing the past papers as the best strategy.
Here are some extra common questions for you to practices that you can reach your full potential...👍
The solutions of these questions would be shared in the next post.
Until then, keep sparkling💖
Im sure this would help the current IGCSE students and wd help them in getting A's
