Firstly, no exam boards are easy. They all have their difficulty at the same level. But if it was a choice between Edexcel GCSE or Edexcel IGCSE, I would do with the GCSE and not the IGCSE. If it takes all the other exam board into account, I would personally go for AQA. To improve your vocabulary, start learning like 10 new words everyday you have not came across which are a substitute to the words you normally use while you write. Make sure they are ambitious and write them down and recall them. There are youtubers like Mr Everything English, Mr salles English, first rate tutor, mr bruff e.t.c which are really good for English. The CGP revision guide for English is also really helpful. Physics and Maths tutor is another excellent tool which you may use e.g. notes and past papers. Also when your starting to do past papers, take a look at the mark scheme / examiner reports on what you need to include and how to write a perfect answer to a specific question. Exemplar responses are included to help you. You could always try and get yourself a tutor, if you feel like you need additional support. You can try and consider to get this all done before the GCSE if you actually put your mind and effort towards it.
