  Hi Dania,
  
  You can find a list of Cambridge registered schools in your local area here: https://www.cie.org.uk/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/.
  
  However, we would recommend you to try your local British Council. They are the best option for private candidates.

    hi. IGCSE Team , i gave O levels 5 subjects in may 2016 and now i will give rest of the 3 subjects in this may. So, will the universities in UK and US will accept my O levels degree in parts? will my marks be deducted when i will apply for the admission in some unversity in UK or US for not giving all the 8 subjects together(the same year)? please reply soon. Thankyou.

      Hi,
      
      Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge O Levels to meet their entry requirements.
      
      You will have to first check with the universities you wished to apply for their entry requirements.
      We wouldn?t know how the universities go through the admission applications but it?s definitely best to check with the universities.

        thankyou.But is wastage of a year in O level considered bad when applying for jobs or admissions? (as usually 3 years are spent in olevel but i spent 4 years;1 year extra as i stated above i gave subjects in parts).

        Hi,
        
        Usually, universities will look at your results and not how long you?ve spent doing O Level. You should focus on scoring well in your O Level.

  Thank you for posting this question. However, we are not CIE, thus we do not comment on how CIE choose best student award. You might want to ask CIE directly. Their website is: http://www.cie.org.uk

My son sat for the igcse and achieved less than the required 5 credits to join university.
He wants to resit the subjects he did not achieve the credits.
Is it possible to apply for university with credits from different sittings or must they be from one sitting

Dear Team
My child sat for the O level exams and did not get 5 minimum credits required to join university in this country.
He wants to repeat the exams he did not do well in this may.
Is it possible to use credits achieved in different sittings to apply for university education or must the credits be achieved in one seating
