Hi,
I am currently homeschooling my daughter who is age 11. I would like to know what are the 5 recommended subjects she should be learning to eventually sit for the IGCSE exam. I am currently teaching her American curriculum for English and History Geography, and Singapore curriculum for Maths and Science. Her interest is more towards the arts subjects. What would you recommend for her to complete IGCSE with a minimum of 5 subjects?

  Hi Viv,
  She may consider: English, Maths, one subject from the Science Group, two more subjects from any group. Please refer above for subjects groups.
  
  If you’re currently feeding her the American curriculum for History and Geography, she might have problems in taking the IGCSE History and Geography. As the American curriculum is vastly related to only the USA, while the IGCSE curriculum is related to worldwide issues. We suggest you to take a look at the syllabus before you choose your subject.

I have a friend in Saudi Arabia whose daughter is in grade 9 and has just enrolled in the IGCSE. She is required to choose between going IGCSE Arabic or IGCSE Business. We do not know the difference! She wants to study scientific fields (Science, Engineering or Medicine) in the university after finishing high school. Shall she choose IGCSE Arabic or IGCSE Business?

  Hi Ahmad,
  We do not understand what is “IGCSE Arabic”, or “IGCSE Business”? Are they a kind of IGCSE?
  
  If you are referring to the subjects, do you mean Arabic – First Language (0508) / Arabic – Foreign Language (0544), and the Business Studies (0450)?

      Hi Fairy,
      Certainly you can take IGCSE. You may choose: English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics. If you’re going for the science stream.

  Hi Sarah,
  Yes, definitely she can do so. Please first check if the subjects she wants to take are available in Pakistan.

      Hi Sarah,
      The only way to check is to visit the British Council, and ask them directly.
