  Hi Swati,
  They have similar syllabus. You may download the syllabus here and compare: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/
  
  We would say they are on the similar level. Additional Maths would be comparatively harder than these 2 subjects.

  Hi Mia,
  First, please download the syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/
  
  Find out what are the papers needed for private candidate. Next, you must find an exam centre which offer this subject and willing to take in private candidate. You can find them here: https://www.cie.org.uk/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/
  
  Otherwise, your local British Council is the best for private candidate, provided they offer this subject at their centre.

Can I drop ICT and continue with 5 subjects which are Biology,Chemistry,Physics,English and Mathematics in IGCSE?
It has become a burden on my other studies.

  Hi Bijal,
  You may do that if that subject is not needed for your further study.

  Hi Mary,
  Yes, definitely. Just register yourself with your local British Council. Please pay a visit to British Council and find out the exam registration dates, fees etc…
