Which exam board to choose...

I have never been pleased with the GCSE maths grade that I got. I have just completed my degree and I am applying for jobs, but in the mean time I could also be revising to improve my GCSE grade. I am in the process of applying as a private candidate but I've been asked what exam board do I want... I have no idea.

I was wondering if there are any massive differences?

Thanks

There is only one thing to consider

Which one is available at a nearby centre that allows external candidates

Both... Also they don't do iGCSE to my knowledge.

Anyone?

There are differences: in my opinion they are not massive though. Just look at the syllabuses on the websites of the main exam boards: edexcel, aqa, ocr, etc. Should be clearer then.

However, I would recommend doing edexcel IGCSE maths because:
a) all exams you are allowed a calculator.
b) two two-hour papers.
c) although it contains slightly more material it is easier to get a higher grade:
A* grade boundaries are usually low to mid 80s instead of high 80s to low 90s in regular GCSE maths papers, which is good if you are prone to silly mistakes.
