About Edexcel IGCSE
Edexcel International GCSE is Pearson's international qualification, and it is graded 9 to 1 on fifteen of the sixteen subjects we teach. It is not the same as Edexcel GCSE. The subjects, the paper shapes and the exam series all differ, and we tutor 16 of them.
Three things separate IGCSE from GCSE. First, the exam series: Maths, Further Pure Mathematics and Accounting run a January series as well as June, Computer Science, French and ICT run June only, and the other ten run June and November. Second, only Maths A and Further Pure Mathematics are tiered, so the sciences are single tier here where they are Foundation and Higher at GCSE. Third, the sciences weight their two papers 61.1% and 38.9% rather than half and half.
The part parents ask about most is coursework. English Language A and English Literature each put 40% of the qualification into either an examined component or an internally assessed one, and the school chooses which. Every other subject is marked on exams alone. We confirm which route your child is on before the first lesson, because it changes what we prepare.

How Centaurus Helps Edexcel IGCSE Students Excel
Three Series, Not One
Maths, Further Pure Mathematics and Accounting run a January series, Computer Science, French and ICT run June only, and the rest run June and November. If a resit is on the cards, the calendar decides the plan.
The 61.1% Paper
All three IGCSE sciences put 61.1% of the marks into Paper 1, where the GCSE puts 50%. Where the marks are, lesson time goes.
The 40% Option
English Language A and English Literature each offer an internally assessed component worth 40%. We prepare for whichever route your school has entered.
Single Tier Sciences
The IGCSE sciences are single tier, so every student sits the same papers and every grade is available. There is no tier decision to make.
On-Screen Papers
Several Edexcel IGCSE papers can be sat on screen instead of on paper. We check which format the centre has chosen and practise in that format.
Real Edexcel Past Papers
Timed practice from Pearson's own papers and mark schemes, marked every week, including the longer papers that carry the larger share of the marks.
