  1. Can my son do two subjects on O level and three subjects on AS Level? He wants to matriculate next year but I feel this is not enough time to do all O level subjects and then same on AS level?

    • Hi Yvette,
      There is a rule from CIE that you can’t do the same/equivalent subjects for both IGCSE and AS / A-Level at the same time. For example, you can’t take IGCSE Mathematics and AS-Level Mathematics in the same examination series.

  2. Dear IGCSE Team,

    My son who is 17 years old is interested to take IGCSE exams for the following subjects: –
    1. Add Maths
    2. Chemistry
    3. Physics
    4. English – First Language
    5. Computer Science

    I would like to know if he needs to take International Maths also, if he have already taken Add Maths.
    Please revert soonest possible. Thank you very much.

    • Hi Erica,
      It is not necessary. But you must get the confirmation from the colleges/universities that he wish to apply.
