Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

Have you seen the syllabus yet?

If you havn’t this is all. And you’ll be giving papers 1,2,3 and 6.

Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

I would recommend you opt for CIE O Levels, partly because I believe you would more easily find CIE past paper booklets and resource materials in the bookstores. I gather Human and Social Biology does not have a practical component and its social part i.e. non-technical emphasis might make it easier too but you must first check whether Pakistani boards consider it equivalent to the local Biology alternative. If you can’t find out for sure, and you are not taking the subject just for fun, then you should probably err on the side of caution and register for Biology.

Here is a link to the O Level Biology syllabus + sample exam material on the CIE’s website:

Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

^ Hey, you must not be only one applying to the said medical college who has taken O / A Levels. I would suggest you talk to whoever you spoke to once again and ask him/her how to get attestation of O Level certificate. Also you might want to talk to someone at the British Council as well to enquire about the attestation. Good luck!

Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

i dont understand i spoke to the lady she is narrating a same thing :aj: , might possible that regular O/A level students are getting addm
british council is saying that if the Ministry of Education does not attest certificates issued by them. This does not mean that the qualification is not recognised. ( which is obviously make sense) y are they creating so much problem for prvt students :what:

Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

apple blossom...help me to understand your situation.

this is what i am assuming.

you want to do medicine.
you have already done physics, chemistry and now you want to do biology (privately). so that you have all three science subjects before you start your a-levels and then university for medicine.

and then when you inquired with the colleges/unis where you will do medicine they said that they will not accept your degree for biology since you have done it through British council.

Re: IGCSE (o levels)as a pvt student

btw cie and edexcel i m thinkinh to choose edexcel as i have heard its easier than cie ( dont know right or wrong) .just see this link below

http://www.britishcouncil.org/edexcel_candidate_info_flyer_uae_june_2011_-_dxb.pdf

it says in bold letters that " this cert will not be attested by MOE (ministry of education) and i wont be able to continue my studies. then i spoke to GMC they are saying without attestion you want be eligible for an admission in a medical college As an admission requirement to study in the college levels in the U.A.E your grade 12 certificate must be attested by the Ministry of Education.

i am thinking to give my exams in pak,but i want to know what does this circular mean ??(given below)

http://www.britishcouncil.org/pakistan-exams-ibcc-notice4.pdf
