Good to know
Things parents ask us first
Cambridge and Edexcel are not interchangeable
IGCSE papers differ in style, command words and mark allocation between Cambridge and Edexcel. Matching the tutor to your child's actual exam board is essential — practising the wrong board's papers wastes preparation.
Tier choice shapes progression
Core versus Extended (and Foundation versus Higher) caps the maximum grade and affects eligibility for IB HL or A-Level subjects. Decide the tier with the next stage in mind, not just the current comfort level.
Alternative-to-practical is examinable
Science students who do not sit the practical exam take a written alternative-to-practical paper. It is frequently under-prepared and rewards specific experimental-method technique that tuition can target.

| Progression target | Meets minimum entry | Strong IB/A-Level base | Determines tier decision |
