  Hello,
  
  Please read this article to understand better what is allowed and what is not: https://www.igcsecentre.com/what-kind-of-calculator-is-acceptable-for-use-in-cambridge-igcse-mathematics-examinations/
  
  For the final confirmation, get confirmation from your Examination Officer from your school or exam centre for the permitted model. They are the ones who have the final say on what is permitted.

  Hello Lili,
  
  IGCSE is the abbreviation of International General Certificate of Secondary Education.
  It was developed by Cambridge International Examination (CIE).

Hi,

If a student only passes in a subject for IGCSE for example, E in Business Studies and F in other subjects can he/she further his/her study in Diploma level? Did he/she pass the certificate or need to pass all 5 subjects

Thank you.

  Hello Abdul,
  
  You must find out the entry requirement for the Diploma that you intend to take. Each college and university has their own minimum grades requirement.

  Hello Noura,
  
  You may split your subjects in different examination series. However, please beware when you want to take both IGCSE and A Level exams in the same examination series, as you might face dates clashes incidents. This had happened tohttps://www.igcsecentre.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=moderated&paged=6#comments-form many of our candidates.
