To register for a CIE exam with the British Council, please read through the frequently asked questions below.

		WHAT IS THE IGCSE?

	Recognised throughout the world, the IGCSE develops vital educational skills, including recall of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, team work and investigative skills. Normally studied over two years with candidates taking the exam at 16, the exams cater for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects.

		What is the GCE?

	The General Certificate of Education (GCE) is one of the most internationally recognised qualifications. You can take this qualification at the Ordinary (O) or the Advanced (A) levels, depending on what you need it for and the course you intend to follow. We advise you to take a preparation course that specifically follows a syllabus if you want to take either of these exams.

		Where are CIE qualifications recognized?
