Mastering IGCSE ICT Exams: Real-World Digital Skills and Practical Preparation
Understanding the (I)GCSE ICT Examinations
The IGCSE ICT exams are more than just tests—they’re a chance for students to showcase real-world digital skills. The assessment includes a written theory paper and two hands-on practical exams, where students tackle challenges using a range of software tools. From crafting webpages with HTML and CSS to performing complex calculations in spreadsheets, students apply their knowledge to solve problems efficiently.
They also navigate databases, refine documents with advanced word processing techniques, and work within a secure IT environment designed to simulate exam conditions. In today’s lesson, students took on an example paper, ensuring they’re fully prepared for the big day. This trial run helps them get comfortable with the system, understand where to save their work, and confirm that all necessary software is functioning smoothly. With each practice session, they’re one step closer to ICT exam success!
