Students will therefore be assigned a final grade that reflects their overall performance and attainment throughout the IGCSE course.
Teachers will work closely with the exam board to assign these and ensure that the results are accurate and fair. All students will still be awarded with an official final grade and certificate that will continue to be accepted for entry by universities and other educational institutions around the world. 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. The GCSE course content has traditionally been designed for a primarily British rather than international audience, and this is reflected in the course content for certain subjects.
For example, a student may have completed 1 year of IGCSEs in their home country, and they decide to go abroad to study and pick-up where they left off. However, recent changes to the GCSE course format in the UK which have been introduced since mean that this difference is no longer relevant.
