What is the difference between IGCSE Core and IGCSE Extended?

To take into account differing capabilities, there is a choice between Core and Extended examination for students. The Core curriculum is within the ability range of a large majority of students. It provides an overview of the subject and is mainly for students expected to achieve grades C to G. The Extended curriculum has been designed targeted at those expected to achieve grades A* to E.

Cambridge International offers a wealth of teaching and learning materials to help teachers plan and deliver the Cambridge IGCSE programme. They suit a wide range of teaching methods and different international contexts and include:

• Teaching schemes of work and lesson plans
