Which is better?
« on: June 07, 2008, 07:13:35 pm »
Both the exam boards, edexcel and cambridge offer students to complete their AS and A-Levels. Which one is better and more renowned for higher studies abroad in the United States of America after completing A-Levels? Also, studying which board will increase chances of gaining an admission with a scholarship there? I have heard many rumours but I really don't know which is better over the other.
Totally confused ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Totally confused

I mean to say that if you do both your IGCSE and A-levels under Cambridge. Not that you do your IGCSE in cambridge and later A-levels in Edexcel. Would it benefit if I do my IGCSE under Cambridge and A-Levels under Edexcel and go to study in the USA? How much easy would it be to get an admission?

You didn't mention about the scholarships.

I would like to know about scholarship opportunities, in comparision, of studying A-levels under Cambridge and under Edexcel.
