IGCSE

IGCSE is the international equivalent of the examinations taken by UK students at the age of 16. Over 500,000 entries are made each year by students from over 140 countries in over 3,700 different schools.  IGCSE examination results are the best way of comparing academic standards across different schools as the criteria for the examinations are the same worldwide.
