Yes, it appears on the IGCSE certificate whether you have resit an exam or not. Universities in the USA see both your old and new grades of a particular subject that you sat for.

If you are opting for USA, they will see ALL your scores even your school mid year and final results for Grade 9, 10 and 11 including A-Levels, IGCSE, SAT and TOEFL scores. It's quite difficult to study in the USA because it's tough, expensive and takes a very long time to complete.

By the way, what grades did you get for your IGCSE's and what subjects did you take? What did you plan for your A-Levels? Where are you studying currently? Feel free to ask any question that you have.

You have pretty good subjects. Try to score A* in all of them. By the way, from where are you?

hey bro,

first of all, from what i know, the universities dont know that yu resat any of ur exams, why?

well, let's say u get a B in biology this session, and re-sit it in November and get an A*, cambridge will produce another certificate with ur new grades, so i dont think u need to worry mate, do ur best this time, and if (god forbid) u got bad marks, study well (start from september) and inshala u will get into the university u want,

and By the way, if u want to go to business school, why are u taking the three sciences ?

wish u the best of luck,

thanks  :)

Let me explain you Q80BOY,

what if he sat a number of subject together.

For example: he sat for 7 subjects and got 6 A* and one B or C. Now if he goes to resit for the subject he got a B/C , he would surely get a new certificate with better grades (if he studies well). BUT when he shows the certificates to the universities he cant cut off the existing B/C although they see the new grade in a separate certificate because he has to show the rest 6 A*. (If he want to do it then he has to take the whole IGCSE's once more, wasting money...which is impossible)

I hope you understood.

Yes that is true.....doing Drama at A-Levels will help you a lot because it will make you a stronger applicant.

But I think it will be much better if you take ICT/Computing instead of drama because that will help you more towards applying.

But its all upon you...wish you the best!!!  ;D  ;D  ;D
