How it is assessed
Cambridge IGCSE Biology (0610) follows the same structure as the other Cambridge sciences: a multiple-choice paper (Paper 1 Core or Paper 2 Extended, 45 minutes, 40 marks, 30%), a theory paper (Paper 3 Core or Paper 4 Extended, 1 hour 15 minutes, 80 marks, 50%) and a practical component worth 20%: Paper 5, the practical test, or Paper 6, the 1-hour Alternative to Practical.
Where marks are lost
Marked work shows the same patterns year after year:
- ✓ Answers that miss the key biological term
- ✓ Graphs and tables described without quoting values
- ✓ Enzyme and photosynthesis practical questions
- ✓ Confusing similar processes, such as diffusion and osmosis
- ✓ Extended answers without a logical sequence
