  1. Hello IGCSE TEAM, I’ve got a D for business studies and an E for economies in my edexcel o level examination. And im planning to do my degree in business management in uk. Are these results accepted? And what results should be achieved through my A levels to cover up the lower grades in my o levels???

    • Hi Izumi,
      We can’t tell you if they are accepted or not. You must get the confirmation from the university that you wish to apply for. We can only tell you the usual minimum required grades are Grade B for reputable universities.

      You can’t “cover up” the lower grades in O-Level. The university will also take into consider your grades in O-Level as part of the entry requirement.

  3. Hi IGCSE team,
    I was previously studying GCE and now have to shift to IGCSE in the last year due to some reasons.
    I was taking bio,chem, physics, mathematics, english, urdu, pakstudies and islamiat in gce and was done with pakstudies and islamiat.
    Now due to the change i have to drop urdu and instead take 4 extra subjects along with the previous 5 do them in one year and then appear for the exams in may 2016 as the IGCSE does not take in account the subjects for whom i already gave the cie.
    Can i do the 4 extra and absolutely new subjects to me in 1 year and appear in may session and get at least an A.
    Are the courses of IGCSE and gce too different?
    Can you give all 9 subjects together?
    Please help me I’m really getting frustrated thinking about my grades.

    • Hi Alyna,
      Yes, you can write all the subjects in one session, provided you are fully prepared. Everyone has their own ability, so don’t force yourself.
