CIE or Edexcel?

[Ash1994]

I just gave my CIE A Level and got bad grades!
Is it a risk to give A Level "Edexcel "in June 2013?
Or should I just keep to CIE?
I find CIE very tricky compared to Edexcel,No?

I sugest you continue with CIE cuz ur used to the format already.. edexcel's correction, examining and testing system is very different so its not a very good idea to jump now. My personal opinion.

Edexcel accounting is boring. I shifted from Edexcel to Cie coz I found the Cie syllabus more challenging and interesting. If u want to enjoy your course, take Cie. Edexcel asks questions directly. Its easy. The format is different, its good for relatively weak students. But remember, the Cie sylabus provides beter prep for university. I wud suggest u continue wid cie.Edexcel's marking is unreliable.

I have pre med subjects. I gave CIE 2 times buh highest grade was C and last year my prep was 100% and i dint manage to get an A
I did GCSE in Edexcel and my maths paper went satisfactory but my grade was an A same goes for other subjects

CIE is the best option as u already know the pattern ,so it will be more easier for you to cover the syllabus .
As far as Concernced with the Grades u should discuss each and every lesson with your friends or from teachers. thn
Insha Allah u will get an A*

Edexcel Roxxxxxx reason being grades are more difficult to acheive. edexcel is far more tricky but better for those who are accustomed to the board questions.
CIE THEY CHANGE UR GRADES EVEN AFTER UR RESULTS COME OUT. I DONT MEAN TO INSULT BUT CIE IS DISSAPOINTING

Check out my thread 'The best A level Board' in Chat. No one even voted for Edexcel.

Listen guys, I have many subjects in A levels including both Commerce and Science. I have studied Edexcel at first coz one of my teachers misguided me. But later I shifted to Cie coz Edexcel is boring, less analytical, not thrilling, unreliable and provides bad prep for university compared to Cie. Have a look at further maths papers from both boards and then only u will realise the degree of difference between the two boards. However, despite the difficulty of Cie sylabus, its a shame that universities consider Cie as equal to Edexcel.

Having done CIE, I now find Edexcel papers somewhat trickier.

Okie frst, have u even taken any edexcel examinations?? if so, then im glad u find it easy, u sure can think out of the box!! BUT if not, then i respect ur opinion, but this one cracked me up! Hahahaha okie thats just a brag..!!!! edexcel? ALevel? EASY??? oh suuureeee!!!! Both are challenging in their own ways!! And hell no, edexcel papers are far more challenging, wen talking bout the sciences! atleast CIE's got a trend and u can get used to it, but edexcel keeps changing their format of asking questions! yeah if ur lucky, u'll find em easy to solve, but hell no edexcel aint easy shit, nor is CIE..

 

[Afraah]

Hmmm mate, ill tell you what, stick to CIE since ur used to their trend of asking Questions
if you want to try something new and get a lil challngin and think u can ace up, then uhm Edexcel it is
Good luck though
