Can we take two science subjects in igcse like chem n phys it can be more than 7 right?
Yes, you may take more than 7 subjects if you need them for further studies. Otherwise, more subjects are not going to give you “more strength”, as many students thought so.
What is the different between homeschool in u.s package and uk package? My son is taking homeschool u. s package in Malaysia, can he take igcse after complete grade 10?
Im new in igcse, sorry
Hi Lai,
IGCSE does not have any “US package” or “UK package”. IGCSE only has one universal syllabus. IGCSE is a kind of certification offered by CIE. Please make sure you are taking the right syllabus.
We do understand that many tuition centres in Malaysia are offering IGCSE curriculum as an alternative to the local system. This has been miss-undertood as “homeschool” by many parents in Malaysia. If you wish to let your son sit for IGCSE exams, we suggest you to make sure the centre is using IGCSE syllabus, which is from CIE.
Can IGCSE examinations taken in Malaysia in Oct/Nov 2015 be retaken in May/June 2016? My daughter failed her Math and would like to try again this coming May/June
Hi Aisha,
Yes, she can. Please head to the registration now. The closing date might be soon.
Hi IGCSE, is it available for all subject in Malaysia for IGCSE?
Not “all subjects” are available for every country. You must check with the British Council if you are a private candidate. Otherwise, just follow the available subjects offered by your school.
Dear IGCSE Team,
Would IGCSE be accepted instead of GCSE in sixth form schools?
Thanks and best regards
Hi Darlene,
Yes, it would be accepted. Sixth form is equivalent to A-Level.
