  Hi Ali,
  For some university it would be considered fail. However, in IGCSE, it is just a grade.

  Hi Maheshwari,
  We suggest you to visit your local British Council first and find out on the available subjects in your area. You will also find out more on the exam registration, exam dates, fees, etc.

Hi, I’m a South African mom and I homeschool my daughter. She will write her IGCSE exams in May/June 2018. One of her chosen subjects is Design & Technology but I just found out that it is not available to private students. Could you please recommend a suitable equivalent subject as she wants to take this as an A level subject. Thanks

  Hi Jessica,
  We could suggest you to find a school which accept private candidate for this subject here: https://www.cie.org.uk/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/
  
  Otherwise, you may want to consider Art & Design 0400. They are not the same, but you may consider. Just download the syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/

Hello! I was a private candidate for both my GCE O level amd A level exams under CIE and registered with British Council. I’m confused as to what I should put as my “high school” in my university applications.

  Hi Maryam,
  You may put “private candidate” or “homeschooled”. The best is, call up the university and ask them what do they expect from private candidate to write in that column.
