Title: Out of 'CIE/Edexcel O Levels' or GCSEs or IGCSEs which is the hardest?
Post by: sabbath_92 on September 21, 2010, 05:58:59 pm: Answers from people who have an idea about both would be appreciated. How does the relative difficulties compare between the qualifications?

Worry not ;)

GCE- O Levels are a bit harder than IGCSEs.

However, they both prepare you pretty well for life.

GCSEs science papers are more like english comprehension. lol :D

Post by: Chingoo on September 21, 2010, 06:35:03 pm: CIE O-Levels > (Edexcel O-Levels = CIE IGCSE) > Edexcel GCSE in terms of difficulty

Of course, this is like a very general way of putting it. Many will argue :P But this is pretty much the crux of it.

Post by: DrEvil on September 21, 2010, 06:57:15 pm: Some subjects are harder in Edexcel 'O Level' than in CIE 'O Level'.

Overall, CIE 'O Level' is harder.

Take a look at a GCE-O Level physics altv. to practical paper and compare it to an IGCSE equivalent.

You'll see the difference ;)

Esp. the Singaporeans Papers.

Overcome it, and become the master.

With hard work, of course.

Post by: Deadly_king on September 24, 2010, 06:17:49 am: Indeed CIE O-level is a bit more difficult. But that should in no way influence your studies. Just keep in mind that you can do it :)

Of course, like the others suggested HARD WORK is a must if you plan to succeed. I'll advise not to really depend on chance like Requiem though welcome it if it is in your favour :P
