  Hi Zack,
  Does grade 10 in South Africa equivalent to IGCSE? If yes, you may proceed to AS/A Level. You can read more on A Level here: https://alevelcentre.com/

  Hi Souna,
  We are very sorry that we do not have grade 10 courses at the moment. However, you may register him for our online revision courses, as many year 10 candidates are using our courses for learning.

Hello,
Thank for all this information. I was lucky to have found it.
I am currently homeschooling and my son, 12 has finished Grade 8 (Year 9) through an American academy. How do I really know if he is ready for IGCSE’s? Is there some sort of placement/assessment test he can do? Also,can he not take 3 one year and write his exams then 3 the next year or must he take 6 for the duration of two years to receive his Certificate and be considered University-ready?
Best Regards from KSA

  Hi Adam,
  There is no “placement” test for one to take IGCSE. You can just start him with the IGCSE programme anytime from Year 9/Year 10, the British system. He can always register for 3 subjects in one examination session, then another 3 subjects in the next examination session. It is entirely up to you.
  
  If you want to find out the required subjects for university, you must get the confirmation from the university that he wishes to apply for. This would let you have clearer picture on which subjects he should take.

  Hi,
  
  I am thinking to homeschool my son after his primary education. What is the difference between IGCSE and GCE O-level? Would there be any practical exams for science? We are from Singapore.
  
  Thanks

    Hi Tan,
    There won’t be any practical exams for private candidate. Private candidate will take the Paper 6 called “Alternative to Practical”.
