Passing Grade for IGCSE

I finally looked at my IGCSE results and I failed 3 subjects, Math D, Physics D, and Art F. What does this mean? I had mostly Bs for all other subjects. Will I have to retake my Math and physics exams? I can't really afford to retake another year of IGCSE because we are moving in 2 years. Any advice?

You haven't failed. D's are passes. But I understand why you think that. If you want to go to uni it's worth having at least a C as most unis look for that.

What do you think?

If you plan on to go to university in the future, grade C which is 4/5 in the new GCSE's in required in GCSE Maths and English typically.

above a U is recognised as a pass, however, if it's for college/ uni apps they'll probably want to see a C or above depending on course/ criteria

There's no point in commenting on a year old thread, it's not like the posters are gonna respond. You're better off making a new thread for your query

It doesn't depends on how many c you get if you got higher than u it's pass for example I called British council Dubai they said I will get a certificate for all subjects as in the oct/Nov 2018 series I got 3 f and c, E, d
