Hi Igcse team

my son has got his score for IGCSE , he got a E in eco and UNgraded in Maths, he will be reappering for both these papers, my 1st question is that his school doesnt have provision for reappearing till next year , are there centres in india where he can register /

also for the IB , does IB programme course has any value in the collages, ?
if he does 2 year IB programme, and than does a 6 month foundation course , will he get the addmission in A cat colleages in the US

  Hi Jai,
  You may register him with the nearest British Council as “Private Candidate”.
  
  For the US, please kindly check with the US embassy for the requirements for their universities/colleges. We believe IB should be well-recognised in the US too. If he is taking A-Level, then this is accepted in the US.

Hey there!
Respected IGCSE team,
I am a student of IGCSE and am going to give exams in 2016 In Shaa Allah!
I had a doubt and wondered if I could get some help from you……
1. How is IGCSE graded? I mean what is the percentage for the grades? For example A* means how much percentage?
Please tell me in detail
I will be looking forward for your reply ?

  Hi Shweta,
  Normally we would recommend to resit only for the subjects required as the entry requirement for the course he wants to do in university.

  Hi Subbiah,
  It would be better with Grade B. As this is usually the minimum grade required for engineering.

  Hello Karen,
  If you could let us know what he wants to study later, then we can provide better advice.
