An academic tool for examination preparation, IGCSE Study Guide For Biology is a study guide for students preparing for the University of Cambridge International Examination. Summary Of The Book International General Certificate of Secondary Education, IGCSE, is an internationally used curriculum for preparing the students for CIE A-level and International Baccalaureate. Cambridge IGCSE covers a broad area of subjects and holds different examinations for different levels. The IGCSE curriculum is generally considered a more challenging and an alternative curriculum as compared to national curricula. The course objective is to facilitate students in building a cognizance of the technological world around them. Through the contents in this book, students will acquire essential skills for further study at higher levels. A well-defined modular approach in the content makes it easy for the learner to understand what can be achieved from the text. Each topic begins with a list of key objectives and learning outcomes, sections on key ideas and concepts that summarize the most important aspects from every chapter and make for a great revision tool. The author also lists common errors made by students and gives tips on how to avoid them. Some of the topics explored in the book include characteristics of living organisms, levels of organization, simple keys, cell structure and organization, diffusion, osmosis, enzymes, nutrition and nutrients. Other features included in this book include sample Q & A’s and examiner’s comments on how to improve answers and increase grades. The questions in the book deal with the most relevant topics as asked in the examination. A separate chapter on examination preparation is yet another useful feature for the student.
