I currently gave my Pak-studies and Islamiat exam for Olevels however due to lack of subject choices I changed my school that offers IGCSE. I’ve heard from various sources that the grading criteria of Igcse and Olevels Is different and there might be a possibility that If I convert from Olevels to IGCSE my grades for the above mentioned olevel subjects will increase. As igcse offers course work grades aswell which Olevel does not. Moreover this is all been heard that IGCSE is compratively easier then OLEVELS thus this is also a key factor I consider?
Kindly clea

  Hi Wafa,
  IGCSE is not “easier” than O-Level, they are just different examination board.
  
  For IGCSE, you get one certificate for each subject. For O-Level, you get one certificate for all of the subjects. This is the difference.

  Yes you may. Just make sure that this subject is not the “required” subject in the university entry requirement.

Hello! I just got my IGCSE 2015 results today. And bad news is, I got an ungraded for math without coursework. I’m planning to take forensic pathology in the future. Will it affect my future study plan? Should I retake my math paper? Do you have any help or suggestion? Much struggle here 🙁

  Hello there,
  Yes, you might need to resit this subject. Maths is one of the core subjects. Did you miss one of the papers for Maths exam?

      No, you are not bad at maths. You just didn’t “understand” 🙂
      
      Maths is not about “reading” and “memorising”. You just need to “understand” how to apply. That is all. If you can, try to join our online courses here:
