Quick Answers

What is IGCSE?

IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is a Cambridge and Edexcel pre-16 qualification used worldwide. Most international schools in Türkiye use IGCSE as the foundation before A-Level or IB.

How many IGCSEs should I take?

7-10 subjects is the usual range. A typical core includes Mathematics, English and at least two sciences. IGCSE results (especially Math + English) are an additional reference point in university admissions.

Do IGCSE grades affect A-Level admission?

Yes. Many international schools require minimum A/B grades at IGCSE for entry to A-Level. In university applications, schools such as Cambridge specifically look at IGCSE Mathematics and English grades.

What is the difference between Core and Extended?

Some IGCSE subjects (Mathematics, ESL, Sciences) are offered at Core and Extended levels. Core caps at C/4; Extended goes up to A*/9. Students aiming for A-Level or IB should sit the Extended tier.

What is the difference between 9-1 and A*-G grading?

Cambridge International IGCSE uses A*-G in some subjects and 9-1 in others. 9 is the highest, 1 the lowest. Reformed UK GCSE uses 9-1, while traditional IGCSE keeps A*-G. Universities recognise both.

IGCSE structure at a glance

Most subjects have 2-3 papers plus an alternative-to-practical or coursework component.

Paper 1 — Multiple Choice / Short Response

MCQ-heavy at Core in many subjects

Paper 2 — Structured / Extended

Longer-form questions

Paper 3-4 — Subject-specific

Alternative to Practical for sciences; listening / speaking for languages

Coursework / Speaking endorsement

Internally assessed in selected subjects

Exam sessions: May/June and Oct/Nov; some subjects also offer a February session.

IGCSE grade bands

A* / 9

Top band; critical for Extended-tier students aiming at top universities.

A / 7-8

Common A-Level entry threshold.

B / 6

Very good; sufficient for most A-Level pathways.

C / 4-5

Pass; the typical 'minimum English/Math' bar at universities.

D-G / 1-3

Lower bands; usually insufficient for A-Level entry.
