IGCSE or O levels

[Phobia]

I appeared in O levels but got average grades (Cs & Ds). I'd like to repeat but firstly I want to know if IGCSE is easier or O levels?
Secondly, if I take IGCSE then how would I be able to get an equivalence from IBCC as there is no Islamiyat and Urdu in IGCSE subjects?

Thanks.

IGCSE is more conceptual and more recognizable in Britain than O-level.

For Islamiyat and Urdu u have to opt for O-level as IGCSE is purely international.

Are you sure that IBCC would issue an equivalence for some IGCSE and O level subjects combined?

Hey, I'm doing my IGCSE as my school has finished O-levels and I gave my Urdu, Isl n' Pak. Std. via O-levels. Dun worry u'll get ure equivalence. but i have one question as well. Do we get an equivalence if we give edexcel?

yes for Ed-excel as well
IBCC has also provided links below for CIE,|Ed excel and all boards of Pakistan.
Please see the attachment and carefully
read the instructions for degree/certificate equivalence issued by IBCC.
hopes you will relax now.

hi,
nothing is easy
in both you have to put your full effort to get A/ A * grade
the main difference is that IGCSE is more common in europe and britain but O-level is more common in ASIA

no one can tell you what is easy for you
i would suggest you to download some papers of both IGCSE and O-level and check which seems easier to you

well from my point of view i feel IGCSE is more easier

Hmm... maths of O levels is easier while other subjects of IGCSE seem easier. =S

IGCSE is rather easier than O level and is also more acceptable .
