  1. Hello Blessing,
    I am a Y10 British curriculum student, I was supposed to have my maths Cambridge exams in May-June but they got canceled so now Cambridge wanted us to take an online assessment instead. I’m going to go to AS next year and we will take only 3 subjects, I’m planning to take chem, bio, and physics. So I wanted to know if I fail my maths assessment does it mean I won’t get promoted to AS? I’m planning not to take maths next year. Can you please shed some light on this matter

    • Hello Rabeeah,

      It is important to take note that Maths is considered as a core subject when applying to college/university. Therefore, if you are you going to pursue further studies, you must pass Maths at IGCSE and consider taking Maths at AS Level.

      Furthermore, some schools require at least five IGCSE certificates at grades 9 to 4/A* to C to continue at AS/A Level

      We strongly suggest that you check with your preferred college/university for their entry requirement.

      We hope this helps.

    • Hi there,

      To learn more about IGCSE, we suggest that you read this article: https://www.igcsecentre.com/what-is-igcse/

      With regards to the exam papers, the first four numbers are the subject code (e.g. 5090 is the subject code of Biology), the next three are the exam series and year (s20 is June 2020), the next two letters is for the type of exam paper (QP is question paper, MS is mark scheme), and the last two numbers are the paper number and variant (22 means Paper 2 variant 2).

      The variant number is for the different administrative zone. All the different time zones will have different set of papers. This is to maintain exam security, and to manage the timetabling of exams. You may check which administrative zone you are in here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-exam-schedules/

Which one is for Cambridge O’ Level for Gulf countries (Middle East) region ? the same goes to Biology , chemistry and physics.
