Hey! So I am in year 2 of the IGCSE program and i do Cambridge Computer Science. Personally, i enjoy cs a lot and it's great for me but I would say it's pretty content heavy and can be hard for some people - you can see the grade boundaries that you need like 35% to pass with a grade C in this course.
