  Hello Rashid,
  
  You are free to spread out your IGCSE exams. We suggest that you register whenever you are ready. But please do take note that it is advisable for you to take your IGCSE exams within 13 months. Usually university/college would accept combining results from separate examination series, but within a certain period, for example: within 13 months or 24 months, depending on each university’s entry requirements.

  Hello Nafisa,
  
  Normally, IGCSE is taken by Year 11 students. However, if you feel that you are ready to sit in for your exams you are free to do so. You may register privately with the local British Council. However, if you are a schooled student, you may want to check with your school what would happen if you take the exam earlier and you are not going to take the exam with the school. Your school might have specific regulations for that.
  
  You might be interested in joining in our renowned A* online revision course. These courses are being crafted to help you to achieve A*. It consist of: revision notes and video tutorials, a ready-made revision timetable, downloadable exam-style practices, common mistakes candidates make during the exams, examiners’ advice, and also some chosen of our word-renowned A* Model Answers (for the respective subject) would be provided free.
  
  Furthermore, we are accepting payment through instalment basis if you register on or before February 15, 2020. To understand how it works, kindly read this page: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-revision-courses/
