Do I need to do more igcses/gcses?

Hi, so I'm doing my exams in 4 months and I'm freaking out over the amount of igcses that I'm doing. Pretty much everyone I know has over 8 gcses and I'm doing 1 gcse 4 igcses.

I want to study at Sixth Form in September but I'm not sure I'll have enough igcses/gcses. I've been told by the Sixth Form that I can get away with only 4 igcses/gcses but I don't really believe them.

I am doing an art course on the side and I originally thought It would count as a 6th igcse/gcse but my Sixth Form said they can't accept it.

Thanks, D: will appreciate any advice!

Ps: I am also home educated

Hi, I did 4 GCSE’s and 2 IGCSES but didn’t pass biology so in total I have 5 and got into sixth form and have received offers from unis so you’re absolutely fine with the amount of IGCSE’s/GCSE’s you have and that art course you’re doing will look very nice in any CV or personal statement you make if you decide to go to Uni so I’d stick with that
