  Hi Owen,
  
  According to CIE, once the Cambridge IGCSE has been awarded it remains valid indefinitely. You can read more here: https://ask.cie.org.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/203545131-Are-our-qualifications-only-valid-for-a-set-number-of-years-
  
  However, if you are planning to use the IGCSE result to apply for university/college, it’s best to check with the respective university/college if they accept the result.

Hi I’m a private candidate from Bangladesh and I just sat for my O’ levels a few months ago. My results came out and I’m confused about how many subjects are required for AS levels. The subjects I sat for my O’ levels were English Language, Bengali, Biology, Economics and Bangladesh Studies. So its pretty mixed up. Can you please help by suggesting which subjects I should take ( I’m weak with science subjects btw ) and if I can just choose 2-4 subjects? Its important so.. much help needed asap.

  Hi Sadia,
  
  Have you thought of what you?d like to specialise in (in college/university) after your A Levels? This will help you to decide the subjects you need to take 🙂
  
  Students typically study four subjects at AS Level and three subjects at A Level. The standard admission requirement for UK universities is three A Levels.

  Hi Hashim,
  
  Each university has a different set of entry requirements. You will need to check with the university you wish to apply if they accept exam sittings in different series, and how many series are allowed.

  Hi Hassan,
  
  If you have got the IGCSE, you do not need to ?replace? with GCSE. They are both at an equivalent level. You must first decide on what do you want to study in the future before you know which subjects to resit.
