If your child is preparing for the IGCSE Computer Science exam, now is the time to build the right study habits and focus on the most essential topics. Whether they’re enrolled in a school in Abu Dhabi or preparing independently, these preparation tips can make a huge difference in performance and confidence.

🔍 1. Understand the Syllabus Clearly

Start by reviewing the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science syllabus. Key topics include:

  • Data Representation

  • Computer Architecture

  • Logic Gates

  • Python Programming

  • Databases

  • Algorithms and Pseudocode

A solid understanding of each topic ensures nothing is left to last-minute cramming.

🧠 2. Practice Past Papers Regularly

Past papers help students understand the exam pattern, question types, and time management. Schedule weekly practice sessions and review the marking schemes to understand what examiners look for.

💡 3. Focus on Programming (Python)

Python is a big part of Paper 2. Students should:

  • Practice writing code by hand.

  • Understand basic data structures (lists, arrays).

  • Master loops, conditions, and functions.

  • Practice trace tables and dry-running code.
