  Hi Sivan,
  For Edexcel, please write to Pearson directly or Edexcel exam board.

  Hi Sakif,
  Normally universities require the complete A-Level qualification. Nevertheless, there are some universities would accept exceptional result from AS-Level as pre-selection. You must contact the universities of your choice and ask them if they would accept your AS-Level results.

Hello there,
I am sonia from Bangladesh. I am a science student. I’ve completed my O’Level from edexcel in the year 2009. Due to some problems of mine i was detached from studies for the past few years. Now again i want to restart my education and want to get established. But i am unable to understand from where to start and which subjects to choose. Any advice?

  Hello Sonia,
  
  First, you must ask yourself what is the course you would like to take in university or college. We assume you want to continue to tertiary education.
  
  Next, you could contact the university or college and find out if they do accept your O-Level as entry requirement.
  
  Most probably they would ask you to get an A-Level or equivalent certificate as entry requirement. If so, the next step you should start is, register yourself to an A-Level or equivalent course, and sit for the exam as “Private Candidate”.
  
  Hope these help!

  Hello Mohamad,
  
  Cambridge International Examination (CIE) and Edexcel are 2 different examination board.
  
  “IGCSE” is the trademark of Cambridge. Therefore IGCSE is under CIE. Edexcel’s is called “Internationl GCSE”. Edexcel is not allowed to use the term “IGCSE” due to the trademark ownership.
  
  These 2 exam boards have their own A-Level, As-Level, etc etc… However, the O Level qualification is still awarded by CIE Cambridge International Examinations.
  
  Please note that, you can’t mix and match subjects in different exam board. For example, English and Maths with CIE, Physics and Chemistry with Edexcel, Biology and Additional Maths with O-Level… You must choose ONE exam board, and do all your subjects in that board. Otherwise, you will not have a complete certificate.
  
  You can always take the exam as “Private Candidate” without attaching to any school.
  
  Each subject’s exam fee is different.
