Make the IGCSE route easier to understand
Parents may need help understanding exam boards, subject choices, exam sessions and private candidate options. Planning support helps you avoid spending money on the wrong lessons at the wrong time.
Exam board clarity
Understand differences between Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and OxfordAQA where they affect preparation.
Subject choices
Review subject combinations against the student’s strengths, target grades and future academic plans.
Timeline planning
Build a realistic revision and lesson timeline around May/June or Oct/Nov exam sessions.
Planning support may be useful if…
- You are unsure which exam board, exam session or subject route applies.
- Different schools, tutors or online resources are giving conflicting advice.
- The student has several subjects and needs to prioritise time realistically.
- You want a clearer plan before committing to a tutoring package.
Price and deliverable
Planning support is for route clarity. It is not official exam-centre registration.
| Option | Price | Typical turnaround | Included | Not included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One subject or one route | £55 | 2 to 4 working days after route details are received. | Route summary, timeline risks, material questions and recommended first support step. | Official exam entry, exam-centre booking or school administration. |
| Multi-subject or private-candidate planning | £89 | 2 to 4 working days after route details are received. | Multi-subject priority view, private-candidate question list and next-step plan. | Exam-board decisions, centre availability guarantees or official registration. |
Start with the route, then choose support
When the exam path is clear, tutoring becomes much easier to manage.
Exam Planning helps parents choose a realistic route before paying for lessons
This is useful when the exam board, paper route, subject choice, private candidate path or revision timeline is not yet clear.
The route affects the decision
Use this when Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel, OxfordAQA, school policy, private candidate rules or subject combinations may change the plan.
Current route and deadlines
Share country, school or candidate status, exam session, subjects, exam board if known and any centre or school constraints.
A clearer planning recommendation
The plan identifies what must be confirmed officially and what study or tutoring support can realistically start now.
Exam entry is not handled by us
You must confirm official entry, fees and deadlines with the school, centre or exam board before relying on any plan.
Exam planning helps parents avoid buying lessons before the exam route is clear
Planning is useful when the family needs to understand subject choices, exam-board route, paper codes, private-candidate questions or a realistic preparation timeline.
Best fit
Exam board, subject route, private-candidate status, exam session or multi-subject priority is unclear.
What you receive
A practical route summary, priority questions, timeline considerations and recommended next academic step.
Prepare first
Country, school route, subject list, exam board if known, intended exam session and any centre information already received.
Before payment
The planning scope is confirmed as single-route, single-subject or multi-subject/private-candidate planning.
| Decision point | What it means | Prepare | A useful next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private candidate questions | Official centre rules may affect subject and paper choices. | Centre emails, deadline notes and subject list. | Use planning before lessons or package purchase. |
| Exam board is unclear | The student may revise from the wrong syllabus. | School documents, syllabus references or course provider details. | Confirm route before buying tutoring. |
| Several subjects compete for time | Budget and revision time need prioritisation. | Grades, exam dates and weekly availability. | Create a staged support plan. |
| Coursework or practical may apply | Official requirements must be checked externally. | School or centre guidance. | List official questions before relying on the plan. |
Planning support can help you ask the right official questions, but IGCSE UK is not an exam centre and cannot guarantee registration, centre acceptance, deadlines or school decisions.
Official exam entry, fees, coursework rules and practical arrangements must be confirmed with the school, centre or exam board.
Before buying lessons, make sure the exam route is real
Many families start by asking for tutoring when the bigger issue is the route: exam board, paper choice, deadline, private-candidate centre or coursework rule.
Can IGCSE UK register the student for exams?
No. We can help families prepare the right questions and understand planning issues, but official registration must be confirmed directly with a school, exam centre or exam board.
Can you help private candidates understand what to check?
Yes. Planning can cover exam board, subject code, paper route, coursework or practical questions, centre deadlines and realistic preparation time. Official answers still need to come from the relevant centre or board.
What information should we send for exam planning?
Send the country, school or private-candidate status, subject list, exam board if known, target exam session, centre information received and the student current preparation level.
Does exam planning include lessons?
No. It clarifies the route and next academic step. Tutoring, mock marking or guided study can be added only after scope, price and availability are confirmed.
What is the most common planning mistake?
Families sometimes revise from the wrong syllabus or assume a centre will accept a subject without checking. Those details should be confirmed before money is spent on ongoing support.
