Can you help me please my daughter is in an Egyptian secondary language school she has finished the first year and I want to enroll her in the IGCSE system is that possible ?! she has the British nationality and we are planning to go back to England soon so that is really important to us please please help us
Hi Sam,
If you wish to return to England soon, it is best to check for the new year 10 entry in England, not in Egypt. This is because normally school won’t take in new student in year 11.
I am an IGCSE student i just want know do i really need to take any specific subjects to enter any kind of major in university or i choose what ever subjects i can. thank you
If I pass the igcse examination for computer even though I didn’t take computer as a subject at school will I still be able to get into college with the IG certificate and what are the countries where the IG certificate is accepted
heyyy, you can get into college as long as you got a credit pass for IT along with 4 others, cos usually 5 credits are needed (C up). And the igcse certificate is accredited in hundreds of countries around the world, its hard to narrow it down
if i take more subjects, will that make my mark higher? Like if i take 14 subjects and my friend takes 5, will that effect my marks? Or taking 5 is the same as taking 14

Hello there, you should be able to, if you fulfil the entry requirement.

Taking more subjects will not make your marks higher. You must concentrate in studying the required subjects indeed.
