About this guide

Each topic is organised in a memorable format, with bilingual subject terminology that helps Vietnamese students grasp the concepts while getting familiar with the English vocabulary used in exams. The content is written so students can study on their own without depending on a teacher.

The book suits both the Core and Extended tiers, focusing on the key points that frequently appear in Cambridge Papers 1, 2, 4 and 6.

  • Plant nutrition, photosynthesis and transport in plants
  • Human nutrition, transport, respiration and gas exchange
  • Coordination, response, homeostasis and the endocrine system
  • Reproduction, inheritance and variation
  • Organisms and their environment, biotechnology and human influences

Who this guide is for

  • Students taking the Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 programme (Core or Extended)

How to use this guide

  • Skim the overview diagram for each topic before diving into detail to grasp the big picture
  • Learn the bilingual terms with Cambridge's standard definitions, noting keywords that are easily confused
  • After each chapter, redraw a mind map of the biological processes (photosynthesis, respiration, circulation)
  • Clearly distinguish the Core content from the Extended material so you study the right tier for your exam
  • Practise answering definition and experiment-description questions in the style Cambridge rewards
  • Revisit tough topics like genetics and homeostasis regularly by testing yourself

Questions about this guide

Can the book be used by both Core and Extended candidates?

Yes. The content covers the entire 0610 syllabus, and the Extended-only material is clearly marked so Core students can skip it.

Does the book support the practical exam (Paper 6)?

Yes. It explains how to describe experiments and variables and how to present results as required by the alternative-to-practical exam.
