  Hi Amir,
  
  Every country is using the same O Level syllabus. You may download the O Level syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-o-level-subjects-syllabuses/
  
  All the different time zones will have different papers. That?s the reason for the variants.

  Hi Maazin,
  
  If you are a private candidate, there is no minimum subject required for O-level and the maximum you can take is 14. However, if you are attached to a school, you must follow the minimum/maximum subjects as required by the school.

My daughter will complete her 9th Grade from USA in May 2018. (Expected GPA above 4)
We then plan to move to Pakistan where she will continue studies at O&A level system.
Will she get credit of courses completed in USA for O level?

  Hi Syed,
  
  Please check with the respective schools in Pakistan for the US grades credential. Just remember do not change school when entering 11th grade. Normally, they won?t take new student at 11th grade.
