It is similar to the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) but is designed for students outside the United Kingdom. The IGCSE assesses knowledge in a wide range of subjects, such as English, mathematics, sciences, and humanities, and is recognized by schools, colleges, and employers worldwide. The exam focuses on both theoretical understanding and practical skills, and the results help determine students' next educational steps, such as enrolling in A-levels or vocational courses.
