16, homeschooled but Had some problems... doing IGCSE's(which are suppossed to be harder than normal gcses, not trying to be funny btw), one O level(Commerce) and one GCSE(psychology) but I didn't take them this summer, I might take most in January as im going to do a BTEC Sport course in september to pass time. I really want to do Biology in the future... is this going to affect me getting a job as a biologist after my PhD? I know its competitive.... I'm also into sport, should I do volunteer work to help my cv? Im more into Human Biology, and I want to do Biology,Chemistry and Psychology a level.( no human biology at any colleges near me, I do find the plant stuff boring and usually forget/hard to revise over but people have said its a soft subject but I could do indipendently )...
Would me getting really top marks(like full marks/near full marks) in all GCSE's, alevels and uni save me?
I may be taking the same igcses as you, may I ask you the cost at which you are being charged at by your centre.
Unis don't care about ums in gcse's
igcse's are much harder than regular gcse's - I was doing a past physics paper and it had content from Unit 1 Physics and Unit 4 Physics at A Level, not too hard but still much harder than gcse.

& do you mean exam centre? Ooh I think at 3A tutors it was £150 per IGCSE(75 to defer)... http://www.3at.org.uk/
I go to a state school and did some iGCSEs this summer (June 2014)
Learn to read OP, the Edexcel website says the specifications are not approved for UK schools, not that their students can't be entered for iGCSE examinations.

You must have did the certificate version: http://www.edexcel.com/quals/igcse/edexcel-certificate/Pages/default.aspx which are used in state schools ONLY.(as it says right there). As I just said this in my last message but you just quoted a half of my message to try and prove a point, maybe you need to learn to not read just half a message.
The IGCSE is for private/international/homeschoolers, if somethings not approved how could you enter for it???? lol

Whatever you say. You seem to know more.
I know I didn't do the Certificate, as my exam didn't have an 'R' on it. An 'R' is placed on the element code of Certificate exams, to identify them from the iGCSE versions of the papers. Look at iGCSE and Certificate papers, and notice how the Certificate ones have an 'R'.
I also did an CIE iGCSE exam. CIE don't have a 'certificate' alternative for the UK. Yet I was able to do it. Interesting.
