IGCSE versus GCSE distance learning for May/June 2007?

Hi all. I am at my tethers end! I have been trying to find a way of upgrading my maths score to a GCSE/GCE grade C, for intake this September. I cant seem to find an instution or a private tutor to help me in the study courses as i dont wanna take the 6month courses being offered. HELPP!! Whats the difference between GCSE and IGCSE? Can the latter be used instead of the former? I am writing from London. WC1N1DJ........ HELPPPPPPPPPPP... :)

IGCSE versus GCSE distance learning for May/June 2007?
hey..well IGCSE is just the international GCSE im sure u knw.im doin IGCSE coz basically GCSE is england based and i aint in england.so since u are ther why dnt u jus go for GCSE?i hav noticed the courses/syllabi are pretty much the same.If you want to raise ur grades in math ther is only one way:practise.i used to suck at math but now im an A student and it all came frm practise.so try do group study with ur frends every other day or read from online websites and try questions on your own.here a tutor and my friends really helped me. oh and if u always feel that u will not get higher than a C chances are you will panic/loose confidence/ get a psycological block and not do better even thou u have the utmost capability to. and yes IGCSE can be taken instead of GCSE. so believe in urself and work hard..(i hope this helped u)


best of luck :)
Reply:IGCSE is what all in international schools outside the Uk . Some Grammar schools in the UK now do IGCSE instead of GCSE. Err IGCSE has no coursework and GCSE does. IGCSE is suppose to be more challenging lol but our teachers dont say that. I'm doing IGCSE but if i had a choice i would do Exdecel GCSE as the questions look slighty easier





Oh getting a good tutor really helps btw its really worth the money if you find a good one. My Physics was really bad before i had a tutor and 2-3 months later it has improved alot =).


The CGP Revision guides the £9.99 version is also really good.
