I’m a grade 11 student. Is it okay if I write Cambridge this year and just don’t do grade 12. And can the Cambridge certificate be used as a grade 12 certificate for employment purposes?

  Hi Youlanda,
  No, the IGCSE certificate meant for IGCSE level only. You can’t say it is A Level.
  
  If the employment requires only IGCSE level, then yes, you may use it for the employment application.

Hello, I’m taking sociology next year as an extra subject, however since its an extra subject I’ll have to manage to do as a self-study. I would be more than grateful for your assistance and suggestions guidance for e.g. revision notes and etc, how could I manage to get an A* and may you suggest me any useful websites, videos etc. Furthermore I would like to become and I’m fascinated by sociologist and what courses do i need for universities since I’m only taking sociology because surprisingly I’m a science student, plus what are the benefits of sociologist occupation

  Hi Muna,
  We thank you for the trust in us. However, we do not have any revision material for Sociology at the moment. You might want to try to google online.
  What we could suggest you is, practise lots of past papers, and try to find out what is required for a good answer.

  Hi Maliya,
  That is not a “fail”, that is just a grade obtained. Please check with the college/university that you wish to apply on the minimum grades required as entry requirement.

Hello,
I’m taking the igcse this year and very soon, but I wanted to know what subjects can I cut off or not take for igcse. Because I took physics and I find it really hard so I’m thinking of not taking it for the exam, is it possible?

    My son is studying in std 6 ICSE pattern regularly at school in Mumbai. He is extraordinary brilliant and can cope 3-4 grades more in a year. Can he appear for IGCSE (i.e. 12th std) in the year 2018. In case yes, how do we prepare him for IGCSE exam. How should him get qualified and which are the schools in Mumbai allow him to give this exam. what are the likely fees and subjects to be chosen? To be successful and qualify for UG program, what needs to be done after IGCSE certification / min. grades etc.

      Hi Sharad,
      You can always register your son with your local British Council and sit for the IGCSE exams there. Please pay a visit to your local British Council and find out more on: exam registration dates, fees, subjects available for your area etc etc…
      
      We are sorry that we do not know what is “UG” programme.
