What is the IGCSE curriculum?
IGCSE is an international curriculum for teenagers aged 14-16, which can be seamlessly connected to A-Level.
IGCSE is the International General Certificate of Secondary Education. It is one of the most popular exam systems for students aged 14 to 16 in the world. It is part of the Cambridge International Examination (CIE). Its certificate is recognized in all English-speaking countries and regions. This exam is equivalent to the "SSAT" we understand. The only difference is that if students want to apply to famous British universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, this exam score is one of the important references for the application. Due to the differences between the Chinese and British education systems, there is no standard for the conversion of high school GPA scores in the UK, and it is impossible to accurately understand the intelligence and academic abilities of students, so this exam score is very necessary.
As the most important prerequisite course, the performance of IGCSE directly determines the learning status in the last two years of high school.
NEEC provides full-subject IGCSE course tutoring, intensive knowledge points explanation, one-on-one Q&A and pre-exam sprint to make your IG journey smoother.

How to choose courses for IGCSE?
No clear professional direction
In the IG stage, everyone has no clear professional direction.
This is a very common thing. The suggestion is:
Chinese + Mathematics + Additional Mathematics + English (Second Language) + Physics + Chemistry + (Economics/Computer Science)
This combination of course selections can ensure that everyone has exposure to different subject areas, and in the future they will have greater initiative to choose the direction of their interest for in-depth study.
Biology/Chemistry/Biomedical Sciences/Pharmacy
For students majoring in biochemistry, the following suggestions are recommended:
Chinese + Mathematics + Additional Mathematics + English (Second Language) + Biology + Chemistry + Computer
Because while you learn biology and chemistry well, computers can become your tool for quantitative analysis in the future.
Physics/Engineering/Computer Science
For students majoring in science and engineering, the recommended combination is:
Chinese + Mathematics + Additional Mathematics + English (Second Language) + Physics + Chemistry + Computer
I hope everyone chooses computer science because after entering university, many students majoring in physics/engineering will need to use specialized computer software/programming to carry out professional studies. This can also lay a good foundation and reflect the breadth of the subject.
Economics/Business/Humanities and Social Sciences
Recommendations:
Chinese + Mathematics + Additional Mathematics + English (Second Language) + Economics + Business + History
The reason for studying economics and business at the same time is that economics is more macro-oriented, while business focuses mainly on the enterprise level. Studying both will give you a more comprehensive understanding of this field; studying history can cultivate our dialectical thinking and exercise our ability to write essays, which is very helpful for in-depth study in college.
