  1. Hi,

    I’m planning to homeschool my 10years old starting with year 4 books. I’m confused on some of the book recommended to me here in Malaysia. If I want my daughter to take IGSCE, would you recommend that it is best she start with Cambridge publishing books or Collins books ?

    How often do we need to send her for checkpoints test assesment ? Is the checkpoints test currently available for secondary 1 ? Does this mean those in the primary do not require any test for the moment until they move to Secondary 1 ?

    Appreciate your advice. TQ

    • Hello Felicia,
      The Cambridge Primary Checkpoint and Cambridge Checkpoint (at year 9) are not available for “Private Candidate”. Checkpoint tests are only available for learners attached with a teaching group (school).

      You may use any publishers as long as the books cover the required syllabus. All the books are good to use as reference.

    • Hello Shiny,
      Unfortunately we do not have any information for your area. Perhaps you want to try some online courses?

  3. how by the hell thats happening !!
    homeschools can simple contact their friends who applied the exam to know its content before they apply for it, if they really can sit for the exam at any time whenever they are prepared for it as u guyz are saying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Hello Rabbani,
      You have miss understood the meaning. Any time means either May/June session or Oct/Nov session, and at any age. As homeschoolers do not get tied by age regulation as in schools.

      Please watch your language. Politeness and respect is required on this site.

  4. Hi, I want to homeschool my child but am interested in the Design n Technology as well. As I understand, IGCSE does not allow for private students to take the exam unless they are school based.
    Would appreciate your advise.
    thanks

    • Hello Andrea,
      You could contact some of the schools which offer IGCSE curriculum in your local area, and enquire if they could accept your child to sit the Design and Technology paper with them. For such arrangement, you ought to do it as early as beginning of year 10.

  5. Hi, I am homeschooling my boys aged 12 and 10. I wanted some information. Do you have any online assessments for grade 7 and upwards. Do you just provide the syllabus or do you also provide any assistance? I am in India.

    • Hello Padmashree,

      We are sorry that we do not have any programmes for grade 7. Currently we only have courses for IGCSE exam candidates.
