GCSE vs IGCSE (the REAL differences)

A lot of students around the world sit IGCSE exams and here in the UK the vast majority of students sit GCSE exams but what is the difference between the two?

the only difference is that the people in the papers are called Omar and Fatima instead of John and Mary

[aloosh]

also, you don't get non-calc papers in igcse maths, all papers are with calc

[najamun-nisa]

Finally someone explained it properly !! Thanks alot!

[munayafilms]

sciences in igcse are. a bit harder. but that’s bc that’s the only igcse we did and we didn’t have other igcses 😂😂, english is way easier in igcses and then i had arabic stuff so idk but igcse is overall easier to manage even if sciences are harder. (exam questions get repeated a lot too)

I think there is a difference between these two papers this is based on my experience and the differences are the types of question and how they are set and how they are worded it makes a massive difference

gcse maths- 42 chapters
igcse maths- 11 chapters

[jusajiggynigga]

in my experience igcses are more difficult ofcourse depending on the subject. i am a big math nerd and i have to say the gcse math exams are way easier than the igcse cie’s. the gap is honestly quite ridiculous.

[AzanShahzad]

Nope, the difference is a lot once you get into both

[harveersethi]

if you take gcse maths in year 10 and then take igcse maths in year 11 does it count as a retake?

[gihanwanninayaka]

So the syllabus conducted by edexel pearson and cambridge international are not different because it’s the same for IGCSE

[fatimahpatel]

Can you please make a video about yhe differen've in A levels and AS levels

[as]

Can you state some key differences between Cambridge alevel and edexcel alevel. Which one is easier or which one is more accepted world wide.(for science and maths subject)

Im studying igcse is it ok to use gcse revision guide of the same exam board like edexcel to revise? Are the papers the same

[Brbsrnc]

In the exam, if i write the unrounded version on the paper, butin the answer box i r9ght the rounded version(1 decimal place for angles), would it be wrong

[hunainamughal]

i registered all my exams as igcse and by mistake one of them got registered as gcse can i still continue for my a level with one subject that has a different board?

[labiqmahir]

Is exam going ahead in may/june for igcse and ial??, in Bangladesh the covid situation is getting worse the rate is around 30% right now which means out of 100 people 30 are getting affected by covid 19 and also our schools are closed from 26 january. i think pearson edexcel must think about the gloabal situation right now exam need to be cancel.

[zunairabintesakif]

Are the syllabus same for both igcse and gcse in all science subjects?

[RaeAH]
