  1. Hey, I am thinking to withdraw my May/June exams into Oct/Nov. I wonder if Mathematics core (0580), Chinese as a second language (0523) and English as a second language are available for Oct/Nov or not. And hopefully Cambridge would make it available in Oct/Nov.

    • Hello Aisha,

      Mathematics (0580) and English as a Second Language are available in November exam series.

      On the other hand, as for Chinese as a Second Language (0523), CAIE is reviewing if it will be possible to provide additional syllabuses which are not currently available in the November series. Please kindly wait for their announcement.

  2. Hello there, I just wanted to know whether it is possible to spread out the examinations for IGCSE’s over two exam series. For example, if I’m taking 8 IGCSE subjects, is it possible for me to take 4 of my subjects in the May / June series and the other 4 in the October / November series?

    • Hello Amina,

      Thank you for writing in. Please see our answers below:

      1. We can’t speculate that. The grade thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. The aim in each year (or examination series) is to set each threshold in just the right place to ensure that it is no more difficult and no less difficult to obtain that grade than it was in the previous year.

      2. As far as we know, the November exam series will go ahead as planned.

      If you need clarifications, feel free to write to us again.
