IGCSEs

[wiziliz]

Hello, My daughter will be doing her IGCSEs in 2020 , bit we want to split the subjects and do it over two years. 3/4 subjects in 2019& rest in 2020. Do the universities accept this? Or has she got to do all the subjects at one sitting. ( she is planning to do medicine)
Thanks.

They take into account your grades. Not how long it took you to get them.

Universities are interested in your A levels mostly, most like them to be taken in the same year, but this doesn’t seem to apply to iGCSEs.
My daughter will split the eight she wants to do over two years too.

Why don't you talk to some of the universities to which she might apply, to see what their admissions policies are?

For medicine the requirements are much stricter than other degree subjects. Being a home ed student is OK but they are looking for high grades obtained under a normal workload i.e. at least 8 GCSEs/iGCSEs taken in Y11. So it depends how many subjects your child will be taking altogether.
The other thing to be careful with is making sure that the subjects needed at A level are still taken in Y11.
Taking languages a year early for example but not Science/maths.
