Hi,
I will be doing my IGCSE exam next year and I have opted to do only 7 subjects. Could you please let me know whether 7 subjects will be sufficient to get to AS level, as I am a full science student.
Thank you.

Hi Sharon,
The number of subjects are not important. The most important factor you must consider is, your chosen subjects are related to what you want to study in the university.
First find out what are the required subjects as entry requirement in the university, then work out what are the subjects you must take in A Level, finally you will know what are the subjects you need at IGCSE level.

Hello Adnan,
We are doing well, thank you. Hope it is the same for you. 🙂
For implementing IGCSE, please kindly write to CIE directly on this matter. Their website is: http://www.cie.org.uk
It depends on the university you wish to apply to. Some university offers foundation programs which don’t require A Level. However, it?s best to check the entry requirements either from the university?s website or contact the university directly.

?Distinction? comes under Cambridge ICE award. If you did not register for ICE award, you will not obtain any ?Distinction?. You will obtain separate IGCSE certificates.

What is the percentage required to get a C in core mathematics?
Hi Naz,
We can?t speculate that. You must refer to the grade threshold. Each year has different marks for each grade.
