EP IGCSE Revision Challenge 2023

We're excited to be hosting the IGCSE Revision Challenge again in 2023! This challenge is a great way to engage students with their core IGCSE subjects and is a perfect way to prepare for upcoming mock exams or assessments. 

Our syllabus-aligned interactive content and banks of parallel papers ensure maximum learning and revision value for every student.

When is the event?

The event will run from Tuesday 28 November (12 pm SGT) until Thursday 30 November (12 pm SGT) 2023.

Who can take part?

This competition is open to any international school students offering IGCSEs, and is suitable for Year 10-11 students - though Year 9 students may also enjoy the challenge and are welcome to participate too. 

The event is free of charge.

Eligible schools will be invited to take part via email. If you have not received an invitation, but would like to join the event, please reach out to our team at global@educationperfect.com.

How do students compete? 

Students will need an account to participate and can be set up by following our guide.

• Students will log in to EP, and complete any of the selected activities.
• Students earn points for correct answers regardless of lesson or chosen IGCSE subject. The more questions they complete, the more points they earn! 
• Students can independently access and complete competition content during the event, but will also earn points for any teacher-assigned tasks. This way, you can choose whether to direct students to particular activities or let them choose the content they wish to complete for the challenge.

How much time will it require?

We know that your IGCSE teaching schedules are jam-packed, which is why we've designed this competition to be as flexible as possible. You do not need to allocate class time to take part, and there is no minimum amount of time required. 

There is also no need for any prior teaching or specific preparation required for the event. 

What content is included? 

Students will be able to earn points by answering questions from any of our IGCSE resource banks for English First Language/Language A, English Literature, Mathematics and Science.

Students may choose to complete content from just one course (e.g. English Literature) or from several! All activities are designed to be completed independently. 

This Challenge contains a wide range of interactive, auto-marked activities specifically aligned to the following courses:

• Edexcel IGCSE:
  • Double Science
  • Mathematics A
  • English Language A
  • English Literature 
• Cambridge IGCSE:
  • Co-ordinated Science 0654 
  • Triple Science (Biology 0610, Chemistry 0620 , Physics 0625) 
  • Mathematics 0580
  • English First Language 0500/0990 
  • English Literature 0475 

Please note that, even if your students aren't taking these exact courses, they may still find value in participating in this revision event given the amount of crossover between IGCSE programmes. 

How can I support my students?

Encourage them to get involved! 

The best way to support them is to help them to log in, then keep an eye on the scoreboard and cheer them on throughout the event. No specific preparation is required. 

How could I run this event with my students?

You could:

• Allocate one or more of your English, Maths or Science lessons to the event and guide students towards specific content (ie revision materials from recent topics); 
• Assign the Challenge as a fun homework activity for your students
• Run the Challenge as an extra-curricular event, and offer time for students to participate during lunchtime and/or after school.

Some teachers like to offer additional in-school rewards, such as House Points or Merits, to encourage friendly competition and boost student participation.

How can I promote the event?
