Big changes to the syllabus from 2023:

Hi everyone! There are substantial changes to the syllabus for two-year iGCSE courses starting in September, including the rearrangement of topics, removal of 2 topics and other things. The course is probably about 85% the same though, just changes in where the same things are. This obviously impacts these resources substantially. Updated versions will be produced in 2024 and uploaded here when they are, including a decent comparison between the old and new versions of the syllabus.
