I don’t have any subjects from social sciences or ‘buisness, technical, or vocational’ will that make it difficult for me to get into college?
No Lola. It depends on what you plan to study in the college.
Good day
I would like to know if a student can complete their IGCSE examinations over a few years by taking only a few subjects per year. Will doing this grant them access to A levels?
Regards
Hi there,
Yes, definitely. As long as you have finished your IGCSE, you can always advance to A Level.
Hello. I just wanna ask if I can re-take IGCSE subjects in the may/june sessions? Or is it only october november? Thank you
Hi John,
You can resit any subject in any examination session. You just have to check if that subject is available for that examination that you wish to sit for.
Hallo, we operate a fully registered primary school in Kenya and are hoping to register our institution as a tutoon and exam centre for IGCSE. Do we go thru the British Council or whats the process?
Thank you.
Hi Bashir,
Please write to CIE directly for this matter. Their website is: http://www.cie.org.uk
Hey Igcse Center,(please reply)
Umm so I am taking Igcse exams in the year 2018(may/jun).I am not a private candidate means I will give exams through my school.My school offers 9 basic subjects and in which you can take either sciences(phy,bio,chem) or commerce(acc,eco,buisness).So I have chosen the sciences group but as you can take maximum 14 subjects so I want to take 3 -4 more subjects.My question is that being a school candidate and giving those 9 subjects exams through school,Can I take more subjects privately?Like is there any rule that states that student who give exams through school cant give privately.If so I am hoping to give 3 of the commerce groups subjects privately in Oct/Nov 2018 with the other 9 through school in May/Jun.Is this possible?My location is Jeddah,Ksa.
Hi Alia,
Yes, you can always take other subjects privately with your local British Council. You must make sure that the exam timetable is not clashing with your exams in your school.
