Can I take just 1 subject like add maths which my school has denied me of the opportunity? Can I sit for add maths as a private candidate same year as I sit for my other subjects registered under my school?
Hello Yvonne,
Yes, you may register yourself as a private candidate with your local British Council. Please check on the exam dates, to make sure this subject does not conflict with other subjects.
Dear Igcse team, please may you reply to my question as soon as possible so that I can confirm with my school.
Hello Sinchana,
If you are referring to sitting for exam, you must get the confirmation with your school/exam centre.
Dear Igsce team,
My name is Sinchana ,and I am currently in year nine ( and I study the igcse course). Is it allowed for me to sit the igcse exam this for all the subjects that I take. Please reply as soon as possible!
Hello Sinchana,
If you are a private candidate, you can take the IGCSE exams anytime whenever you are ready. However, if you are attached to a school, you need to abide to the school?s exam year. Please consult the school?s exam officer for this.
Hi, I am currently an IGCSE O level student. I heard a rumour saying that if I get 5 A or A* in different subjects I can go to university without the need to complete my As level or A level. I was hoping if you can tell me if this rumour is correct.
Hi , I am a student in my IGCSE I level. I heard some rumours saying that, if I get 5 A or above I can straight go up to universities without the need of me finishing my As level or A level.
Sorry meant O level not I level
Hi Abdulla,
That depends on the universities’ entry requirement. Please do check the entry requirements with the university you wish to apply to.
