Where is CIE?

I've seen a lot of AQA, OCR, and Edexcel but no CIE based subjects for a long time. Is this because students in the UK don't do the CIE's much?

Goverment funded schools in the UK can't do CIE exams, the government doesn't pay for them and doesn't recognise them for school achievement purposes. A few private/independent schools use them and some private candidates enter for them but they are predominantly an international qualification. TSR is a UK web site and most of its users are interested in UK exams. Never the less there are numerous discussions to be found about CIE exams, though they are not as active as the AQA/Edexcel/OCR or even WJEC ones I would agree. If you want to discuss something, start a thread in the appropriate forum.

Thanks! I've never heard of this before so it's an eye opener in some way or another. Even here, CIE is pretty expensive, 80 odd british pounds per subject.
