hello, I am in year 10 now.
I have question of marking process of IGCSE.
I think they give report after Y11 with six subjects that I got the best score.
Is it right?
So i will have exam of combined science, Korean, mathematics(extended) and English(second language) this year, next week.
And I will do geography, physics, economics, Global perspective, and math additional in Y11.
Is that good choice and Is it right that I get report with subjects (best grade), despite of what year level that I took exam?

  Hi Yujin,
  The choice of subjects must be helping you in your further study. We can’t tell you if your choice is good or not, as we do not know what you want to do next.
  
  You will get the first result in August 2015, if you’re writing some subjects in May/June 2015.

    Then do we get overall grade in year 11, too?

      You do not get ‘overall’ grade for IGCSE. You get individual certificate for IGCSE.

    hello Jung Ying, you really don’t need to worry, my brother took a few of the subjects you mentioned and they accepted him into the swiss culinary arts academy, so you will do fine, best of luck

  I’ll tell you the best method, Print out a few past papers for economics. Then Take the past paper and your study material and start solving them. Not like a test, But an open book exercise. The question’s you don’t understand, DO NOT LEAVE THEM INCOMPLETE. Find the answers from your text book and then write them out. This way you’ll get satisfying results.
