Well..am inquiring could there be a possibility an individual wd study a subject like Chemistry alone…because he dnt take it in his IGCSE from year 10 ..and took all other science subjects….only to realise later he wants Medicine…
Is there a way to do bridging before yr 12..?
Or do the subject without going for a retake all the way to yr 10?

  Hi Dorothy,
  Yes, he can take only one subject. He just need to register with any nearest British Council, and sit for one subject in any examination session. He can choose to sit for the exam next year May/June session, or Oct/Nov session.

Are 5 subjects enough to get an admission in Cambridge or Oxford University?

  Yes, provided they are all relevant to the faculty that you’re applying.

  Hello Hassan,
  Yes, that would be very highly possible, if this “someone” also has excellent extra curriculum such as in sports or music or participated in any tournaments.

  Hello Hassan,
  Just call up the Cambridge University and ask for the application process. Or check their website.

      Yes, the GCE papers won’t be “part” of the IGCSE papers. The universities would take into consideration of the “full” IGCSE certificates, not the partly GCE.
