  Hi Ahmed,
  You still need English subject in order to proceed to A-Level. English is one of the core subjects.

    Thank you so much for the reply.
    Now i decided to add: English as a second language and Computer science. as an addition to the three subjects i told you about (Maths,Chemistry,Physics).
    Is that acceptable for A-Level?
    and Is it acceptable for IGCSE at first?

      Yes, it fulfils the minimum requirement. You should be fine.

  Hello Anne,
  After the IGCSE/equivalent, you would proceed to A-Level/equivalent. Then only you will get into universities / colleges.
  
  However, there are some universities which accept students with excellent IGCSE results. 🙂

  Hi Piyal,
  There is no limitation on how many times you can retake IGCSE.
