Take cambridge. It is a better a level. Edexcel is too easy.

Definitely - you should go for IGCSE Camb. Maths - its of a respectably hard level - but not too hard.

Add maths is like if you're reallll good then go for it - but its not necessary. Its tougher and advanced though.

And you need to worry about pure maths, statistics and all in A-levels!

CIE Math is okay, it's not that hard you can get an A if you worked hard, and began solving past papers

go for CIE A level pure maths...i've started with it and the level is mediocre. Hence i also chose further maths which is pretty tough. Along with pure maths u take either statistics or mechanics. I suggest u do mechanics cuz it's interesting and easier as compared with statistics(which may not even be as useful if u want to get into medicine)
