About the Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry Exam
The 0620 syllabus for exams in 2026, 2027 and 2028 has three components at each level. Core candidates are eligible for grades C to G; Extended candidates, who also study the Supplement content, for grades A* to G.
- Core
- Paper 1, multiple choice (45 minutes, 40 marks, 30%), and Paper 3, theory (1 h 15 min, 80 marks, 50%)
- Extended
- Paper 2, multiple choice (45 minutes, 40 marks, 30%), and Paper 4, theory (1 h 15 min, 80 marks, 50%), on the Core and Supplement content
- Practical
- Paper 5, a practical test (1 h 15 min), or Paper 6, an alternative to practical (1 hour); each is 40 marks and 20%
- In the practical papers
- Notes for use in qualitative analysis are provided for both Paper 5 and Paper 6
- Exam series
- June and November
Cambridge says the 2026 to 2028 syllabus has no substantial changes that affect teaching, so textbooks endorsed for exams from 2023 are still suitable.
Common Challenges IGCSE Chemistry Students Face
Core or Extended
Core papers lead to grades C to G, so students aiming for an A or a B need the Extended content and papers.
Extended Calculations
Reacting masses, gas volumes at 24 dm³ per mole, concentrations, titration results and percentage yield.
Ionic and Half-Equations
Extended candidates write ionic equations and the half-equations for what happens at each electrode.
Electrochemistry
Predicting electrolysis products, and explaining how a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell works.
Tests for Ions and Gases
Identifying cations, anions and gases from test results, a skill both practical options assess.
Practical Test or Alternative
Paper 6 tests the same experimental skills as Paper 5 on paper, so students need to know the experiments well.
How Our Online IGCSE Chemistry Tutors Help
Taught at the Right Level
Core students build secure foundations, and Extended students also cover every Supplement learning outcome.
Calculation Routines
Moles, reacting masses, gas volumes and concentrations set out the same way every time.
Equations on the Whiteboard
Word, symbol and ionic equations written out on a shared whiteboard, then practised on new reactions.
Practical Skills on Paper
Planning, results tables, graphs and evaluating errors, for the practical test and the alternative to practical alike.
Organic Chemistry Practice
Naming compounds, homologous series and polymers, with the reactions of each functional group.
Ready for June or November
Practice by topic, then full timed papers in the weeks before the exam series.
IGCSE Chemistry Topics Covered by Our Tutors
The twelve topics of Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry (0620), grouped by theme in the syllabus’s order. Extended candidates also learn the Supplement content.
Matter, Atoms and the Mole
- States of matter: solids, liquids and gases, and diffusion
- Atoms, elements and compounds: atomic structure, isotopes, and ionic, covalent and metallic bonding
- Stoichiometry: formulae, relative masses, and the mole and the Avogadro constant
Reactions and Energy
- Electrochemistry: electrolysis and hydrogen–oxygen fuel cells
- Chemical energetics: exothermic and endothermic reactions
- Chemical reactions: rate of reaction, reversible reactions and equilibrium, and redox
- Acids, bases and salts: properties of acids and bases, oxides, and preparing salts
Elements, Metals and the Environment
- The Periodic Table: Group I, Group VII, transition elements and noble gases
- Metals: properties, uses, alloys, the reactivity series, corrosion and extraction
- Chemistry of the environment: water, fertilisers, and air quality and climate
Organic Chemistry and Practical Skills
- Organic chemistry: formulae and functional groups, naming, fuels, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids and polymers
- Experimental techniques and chemical analysis: experimental design, acid–base titrations, chromatography, separation and purification, and identifying ions and gases

Frequently Asked Questions About IGCSE Chemistry Tuition
Thinking of IGCSE Chemistry Tuition?
Should My Child Take Core or Extended Chemistry?
Cambridge advises Extended for students expected to achieve grade C or above, and Core for those expected to achieve grade D or below. Your child’s school makes the entry.
What Is the Difference Between Paper 5 and Paper 6?
Paper 5 is a practical test done with apparatus, and Paper 6 is a written alternative to practical. Both assess the same experimental skills, and your child’s school enters them for one.
Has IGCSE Chemistry Changed for 2026?
Only slightly. Cambridge says the syllabus for 2026 to 2028 has no substantial changes that would affect teaching.
When Should My Child Start IGCSE Chemistry Tuition?
Early in the course is easiest, before stoichiometry and electrochemistry, which later topics rely on. Students can also start closer to the exam series to focus on past-paper practice.
