FAQ's

What is IGCSE?

International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a popular international curriculum for students ages between 14 to 16 years. This curriculum leads to globally recognized and valued Cambridge IGCSE qualifications. This falls under the Cambridge Secondary 2 Stage. 

Cambridge IGCSE has been developed through the extensive support extended by schools worldwide. Cambridge IGCSE provides excellent preparation for the Cambridge Advanced stage including International AS and A levels and Cambridge Pre-U. It caters to the changing needs and undergoes regular updates and extensions. Cambridge IGCSE trainers are provided with excellent support through resources, training and advice from experts. 

Cambridge IGCSE encourages learner centered and curiosity based approaches to learning. Skills such as creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving are developed and get students ready for the next stage in their education. Schools build their own curriculum to cater to the local needs and define learning outcomes and content. So the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum not only caters to being internationally relevant but also keeps in mind the needs of different cultures. 

The schools decide which subjects to offer and each subject is certified separately. There are over 70 subjects for students to choose and this includes more than 30 language courses that offer a wide variety of routes for learners with different abilities. 

Students develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in the subject content, applying the knowledge gained to real-time situations, developing curiosity in the nature around them and being flexible and responsive to change. Apart from the core subject related skills, students also learn to write and communicate effectively in English and also become culturally aware of people and situations around them.

IGCSE focuses on student centric education and making the mind creative for learning. The curriculum is quite demanding and the approach is focused on application rather than just learning theory. Every subject under IGCSE is designed to learn from a global research perspective. It does not offer a prescribed syllabus and students can use a wide range of resources to learn from. Students get to learn a wide range of things in a better way. The coursework component on the IGCSE is optional as it is designed to accommodate the fact that in some countries there might be hurdles to performing lab experiments to taking fieldwork excursions. IGCSE prepares a student for international study as well as entry into international universities. Students who have done the IGCSE have a very strong understanding of foundational concepts built on in the IB DP. IGCSE is accessible to those of almost all levels of ability. The questions are often differentiated in terms of levels of difficulty to meet the needs of both the student as well as those who find academics challenging. If a child has strengths in assimilating knowledge and demonstrating this knowledge in exam conditions then IGCSE would certainly be a good option to choose. IGCSE is equally highly regarded as an international qualification by European universities and North American colleges. 

What are the advantages of IGCSE?

If you are a parent looking for the best school for your child, the options available are numerous.

Can I self-study IGCSE?

Yes, you can take the IGCSE exam even without attending Cambridge school. You need to find a Cambridge school in your city that accepts private candidates and register in that school to be able to take up the IGCSE examination. You will be solely responsible for making arrangements with the school and the school will provide all assistance for exam related queries. There are certain requirements that a student needs to fulfill to be eligible to get themselves registered as a private candidate in a school. 

Private candidates need to meet the full requirements of any assessment that they would be taking. If their submission of coursework, students must submit them and the coursework should be marked and authenticated by the school. 

Entry for assessments can be made only through the school and the responsibility lies on the student to ensure all requirements are complied with. 

The school has to remit the fee for any private candidate and students should reimburse the same to the school. The cost would include cost of supervision, marking of coursework or other internally assessed work by the staff of the school. 

Students registered as private candidates are identified separately in the summary of the school result and the name of the school will not appear in the certificate issued to the student.

Do International Universities accept IGCSE?

Definitely! Almost every university, a student would want to apply to, will accept an IGCSE Diploma. It is an internationally recognized Secondary Education Qualification.

When are the IGCSE exams taken?

IGCSE exams are taken in June and in November every year and the results are published in August and January respectively.

How much does IGCSE tutoring cost?

The pricing for IGCSE tutoring would depend on a lot of factors. Where you live can greatly change how much the tutor would charge. There could be different tutors offering private tutoring and there could be self-taught tutors to professionally trained tutors with a lifetime of experience.  The qualification and experience of tutors will affect the price you would have to pay. Depending on the subject or the specialization, supply and demand can have a huge bearing on the price. Core subjects may cost higher when compared to arts and music or it could be vice versa. The level of a student is also an important factor to determine the price. Tutoring jobs are generally paid more if there is more work to be done by the trainer.
