    • Hi LL,

      If you have finished high school, you do not need to take O level anymore. Just proceed to A level.

      You may register as a private candidate. Once you have decided to register as a private candidate, you will have to check the British Council at your local area or you can also find a list of registered Cambridge schools in your local area here: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/ and check with school if they accept private candidate

        • Dear Luna,

          It?s not too late to re-take your exams. However, there are no IGCSE exams in January. There are two exam series for UK and International: November and June while India has March series. Kindly read this article to know more about key dates: https://www.igcsecentre.com/exam-registration-dates/

          Furthermore, IGCSE and O-level are two different examinations but of equivalent qualification. As such, ask your preferred university if they do not have a strict rules such as: all qualifications must be from the same examination board, since you?ve completed your O-levels already and you plan to take IGCSE Mathematics.

    • Hi Patrick,

      Yes, you may take both O-level and IGCSE subjects. But please be guided that IGCSE and O-level are different examination boards and it will all depend on what you want to study in the future. We suggest you to find out the acceptance of different examination boards for different subject from the university that you?re planning to apply to.

      Also beware when you want to take both IGCSE and O Level exams in the same examination series, as you might face dates clashes incidents. This happened to many of our candidates before.

  5. Hello. My son is in year 10. I would like to know 1) how is the certification fo IGCSE done? Is it per subject or there?s one certificate with the aggregate grade?
    2) if one doesnt achieve the requisite grade on a particular subject, is it possible to resit only that subject and how does affect the student progression to the next level?

    • Hi Joyce,

      To answer your questions, your son will receive individual certificate per subject. There are no aggregate grade. If your son fails in one subject, he may take the test again. There will be no repercussion with regards to IGCSE but it will depend on your son?s chosen school/college/university entry requirement if he ever plans to pursue further studies.
