#Do igcse grades matter?

yes they do matter - so you should try hard
but a levels matter a lot more and honestly imo those grades will demonstrate not only significant improvement but also tremendous willpower
there may be some universities who still reject you because of bad igcses but its not all of them for sure
brother
just do well tf why u caring abt what matters or not
u wanna get all Cs in igcse or smth?
unis might consider u dense if they see u failed the easiest curriculum in cambridge boards
your a level results will be the most important but understand that universities would still ask for certain grades in ig as well
it's also a bad sign for unis if they look at your application and see that you did shit in ig even if you did much better in a levels
yea don't try throw your igcses 😭
even if improvement may speak a lot about your character - it may already be enough for universities to auto deny you sometimes .w.
Scary. I got a D for maths 
In IGCSES and I’m not taking maths again in ALs, just Bio, Physics and Chem. I put in no effort for Maths when I was doing the IGCSEs. Because of some complications at the time, I only got three months to complete the maths syllabus along with another two subs.
☠️ ☠️
how are you even allowed to take a levels 💀

They didn’t care about it much
😭😭😭is it that bad ?
They had a placement test and ig I scored good in it
to fail an igcse subject is bad
Yea I get it
but in my school if you don't pass maths, you can't do a levels

or can't further your studies
you might need to retake igcse maths for uni
