Edexcel international A levels and GCE A levels

Universities aren't going to distinguish between IAL and GCE because you're going to take the same papers as the GCE students. Jan exams aren't available for both IAL and GCE anymore so you won't be disadvantaged in any way. I think I heard somewhere that for IAL, you're going to take a paper which combines two modules (eg Maths, C1 & C2 and C3 & C4) instead of individual papers for each module. I'd suggest you to take IAL because for Units 3 and 6 in each science subject will require you to take written practicals rather than real practicals (this is due to Edexcel wanting to make sure that international teachers aren't biased when giving marks in a practical exam I THINK). But those written practicals questions are based on real practical exams anyway so they're about the same I guess? IAL students will have IAL certificates though instead of the normal GCE certs given out to UK students. But really though, I'm not so sure about this. If I find out more I'll edit my post.
