The I indicates an international version of the UK GCSE, designed for students whose first language may not be English. The standards and marking are the same and it is internationally recognised as the equivalent of the UK GCSE. There are differences in the syllabus to allow more localisation of topics studied. There is usually far less assessed coursework.

Edexcel O levels were only being taken by a small number of students in a small number of countries. As a result it was becoming more difficult to keep the support materials up to date and to continue to offer the same range of subjects. The last Edexcel O levels will be held in January 2011, from then onwards all Edexcel candidates across the world will sit for IGCSE. This has allowed Edexcel to focus more resources into developing the IGCSE, expanding the subject range and producing support materials.

IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is an internationally recognized qualification for students aged 14-16, while O Level (General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level) is a UK qualification for the same age group. IGCSE is more flexible and offers a wider range of subjects compared to O Level.

Is icgse equivalent to the Singapore gce 'o' level?

The correct spelling for the "icgse" is the "iGCSE".The"International General Certificate of Secondary Education" (abbreviated "IGCSE" or "iGCSE") is the internationally recognized qualification first developed by the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) in 1988, for students primarily between 14 to 16 of age.By recognition, qualification standards and primary developer, the "iGCSE" is equivalent to the "Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education 'Ordinary' Level Examinations".By measure of difficulty, the "Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education 'Ordinary' Level Examinations" surpasses the "iGCSE" and therefore, not equivalent by measure of difficulty.However, the acceptance of both certificates as entrance to particular universities or colleges are deemed equal.

To do further math at IB do you have to get an A star in IGCSE higher math?

I did my IGCSE Math in one year and I got an A*. So for the second year, people who got A and A* moved into the higher level math, where we did Pure Mathematics, or A/O math (also from Edexcel and is now part of the IGCSE - Pure Mathematics). Pure Mathematics is like basically the first year of IB Higher Level Mathematics, so we're kind of ahead.So I don't know for sure, but you do a Math exam when you enter IB and they put you in the level they think you fit in.But I think you either have to get an A or an A* in your IGCSE's. At least an A.
