  Hi Luna,
  
  We believe the syllabus and content are similar. Do not be afraid. You can always download the syllabus and make comparison: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/

Hello,
I’m a 16 year old from Malaysia and I wanted to go to an international school.. Is it too late for me to enter one? My mom wanted me to take SPM but I wanted to take IGCSE but she’ll consider it. Also, it is possible if I take SPM and IGCSE ? I want to go to Cambridge /Oxford university but I heard that they only except IGCSE…

Hello, I’m currently in year 10 and i took on 5 subjects- mathematics, english, biology, physics, and chemistry – should i add human bio or not? My teacher says its better to take human bio f you are taking biology but i need advice. He also says human bio covers 10 chapters and biology completes the human bio subject.

  Hi Muhammad,
  
  You must choose your subjects based on what you want to study in the future. Start from checking on university?s website to find out their subjects requirements.

Hello,
I’m 16 this year and next year I’ll be taking SPM. I want to take IGCSE but my mom told me to take SPM but she’ll consider it. I am wondering, is it too late for me to enter an international school to take IGCSE ? And second, I want to enter Oxford University, if I am not taking IGCSE, can I use my SPM results?

  Hi Hazwani,
  
  We?d suggest you to take IGCSE as a private candidate instead of transferring to an international school when you have only one year+ left in school.
  
  For your second question, you will need to check with Oxford University directly as each university has their own set of requirements.

  Hi Shaylin,
  
  We are very sorry that we won?t know which year would you be in the US. You have to contact the US school and discuss with them directly.
