[Rox20]

Hi guys, my dd is in year 13 and she does cie a level chemistry. she keeps complaining that its unfair her school chose this exam board as its more difficult than other boards such as ocr, aqa and edexcel. Is this true?

Historically, the main difference between the IGCSE and the GCSE qualification was the inclusion of a greater amount of coursework within the GCSE syllabus, whereas the IGCSE had been mainly assessed through final exams at the end of the course. This was due to the fact that IGCSEs had been designed for international students who do not speak English as a first language.
In recent years however, the UK government has changed the format of GCSEs to remove much of the coursework and now assesses and assigns final grades for many subjects based predominantly on the end of course exams. Therefore, *
the differences between the IGCSE and GCSE are now very minor.*

Though I have heard from some staff they are easier. So have heatd both arguments. So probably means they are similar.

@Violashifts the OP is talking about a-levels not the merits of gcse vs igcse
