Hi there! If I am a form 4 student currently studying for SPM but I want to leave school at 16 without taking SPM and head straight to college, can I take O levels?

  Hello Emily,
  
  Yes, you may take O-level or IGCSE as a private candidate. IGCSE is more suitable for international students looking for a more interesting curriculum for global approach.
  
  There are no compulsory subjects in O-level or IGCSE, however there are core subjects that you must fulfil to qualify for college/university. Please choose your subjects depending on what you want to study in college/university. We suggest that you get confirmation from your preferred college/university for their subject entry requirements in accordance with the course that you would like to study.
  
  Last but not least, reputable universities usually require A Level qualification after completing O Level or IGCSE. You might want to read more about AS/A Level here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/what-is-cambridge-international-as-a-level/

      Hello Emily,
      
      As far as we know, Malaysian SPM is a derivation from O-Level. Other equivalent qualifications are IGCSE, EdExcel, GCSE and AQA.

  Hello Jayram,
  
  Candidates normally use their O-level qualification to further their studies. However, you are free to take a job after you complete your O-level. It is best to check for the job requirements too.

  Hello Mustafa,
  
  First of all, we’d like to clarify that O-level and A-Level are different qualifications. Candidates normally will proceed to A level after completing O-Level.
  
  We suggest that you search for suitable O-Level reference books on the Amazon UK site.
