Good morning
My name is Jessy. If one obtains 2 D, 1 E, 2 F and 1 G in IGCSE, what do you suggest?

  Hi Jessy,
  Perhaps you want to consider to resit the exam if your future study requires higher minimum grades. Else, you may continue to A-Level.

  Hi O.S Onyango,
  If you are currently studying diploma level, there is no need of taking IGCSE anymore. Because diploma has passed IGCSE level. You may just enter into university with your diploma certificate.
