Fast Track Maths GCSE and IGCSE FAQs
This depends very much on you and why you are choosing to study Maths in such a short space of time. If you consider the qualification to be just a hurdle which you need jump in order to move onto further studies unrelated to the field of Maths, then you probably want to study the Maths GCSE. For Summer exams this the simpler option. It is worth noting that the syllabus for the Maths GCSE has been toughened since Summer 2017!
If you are studying from abroad, you will almost certainly need to choose the IGCSE, unless you are planning to return to the UK for the exams.
There are some very good reasons you should still use a pen and paper.
- In the case of Maths it is very difficult to express equations and graphs electronically. Typically, students who do this will miss out steps in their working and cost themselves marks as a result. You need to learn the subject rather than spend too much time trying to learn the tools to write the subject in electronic format.
- You will need to use pen and paper when you sit your Maths exam. It’s best to get in some practice.
If you need to defer your Maths GCSE there will be a charge, probably of £50. The deferral of Maths GCSE from 2016 to 2017 is quite complicated and you will need to study some harder topics, even at foundation level.
