A few students in my class would like to appear in the subject of English via IGCSE (0510), while for the rest they;ll go for GCE exam. Any problem?

  Hello there,
  There won’t be any problem if they know which further study they want to take.

Hello,
I have a son who will be 15 this April and he is homeschooling and we have chosen 6 subjects in IGCSE. They include PHY, CHEM, MATH, BIO, ENG First Language and ENV Management. He plans to appear 5 subjects in May/June and one remaining CHEM in OCT/NOV. We could possibly be moving to US in August 2017. I wanted to know what he could possibly pursue in US. I know some universities do accept IGCSE for admissions but I am not in favor to send him to University very early. What can you suggest? Should he prepare for AP, SAT and then apply to Universities two years down the line or any other option?

  Hi Mandar,
  Yes, you may consider either AP, SAT or A Level. Most universities would require these as entry requirement.

  Hi Mugisha,
  Yes, definitely you could register for AS or A Level. Just head over to your local British Council and find out more.

  Hi Hassan,
  If you have passed the O Level, you do not need to take IGCSE anymore. Just proceed to A Level.
  
  If you wish to take A Level as private candidate, just register yourself with your local British Council. In terms of subjects, you must first find out what do you plan to study in the future before you make any decision on the subjects.

  Hi Radea,
  Generally, engineering courses require: English, Maths, Additional Maths, Physics, Chemistry. Geography would be good for Civil Engineering, or any earth related engineering courses.
