Cambridge O Level and IGCSE ( equivalent to S.S.C in Bangladesh)
O’level (Ordinary level)
Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognised qualification equivalent to Cambridge
IGCSE and the UK GCSE. The O Level (Ordinary Level; official title: General Certificate of
Education: Ordinary Level) is a subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General
Certificate of Education. It was introduced in place of the School Certificate in 1951 as part of an
educational reform alongside the more in-depth and academically rigorous A-level (official title
of qualification: General Certificate of Education – Advanced Level) in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland. Those three jurisdictions replaced O Levels gradually with General Certificate
of Secondary Education (GCSE) and International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(IGCSE) exams over time.
In Bangladesh, the O Level qualification is offered, with examinations conducted by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) under the board of British Council. O Level qualification has become a replacement for the matriculation qualification (SSC) offered by the Government boards of education. However, due to the high costs associated with O Level qualifications, their reach is limited to middle to elite class families.
• Cambridge O Level candidates are only awarded grades from A* to E, where A* is the highest. achievable grade.
• Some Cambridge O Level syllabuses were developed to meet specific local needs, such as minority languages.
• The focus of Cambridge O Level languages is on writing and reading skills
• There are more restricted practical test options in Cambridge O Level sciences. These constraints are advantageous to some schools where resources are limited.

IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education)
IGCSE is an English language based examination similar to GCSE and is recognized in the
United Kingdom as being equivalent to the GCSE for the purposes of recognizing prior
attainment. It was developed by University of Cambridge International Examinations. The
examination boards Edexcel and Oxford AQA also offer their own versions of International
GCSEs. Students normally begin studying the syllabus at the beginning of Year 10 and take the
test at the end of Year 11. However, in some international schools, students can begin studying
the syllabus at the beginning of Year 9 and take the test at the end of Year 10.
The qualifications are based on individual subjects of study, which means that one receives an "IGCSE" qualification for each subject one takes. Typical "core" subjects for IGCSE candidates include a First Language, Second Language, Mathematics and one or more subjects in the Sciences. Cambridge IGCSE exams are conducted in the months of February (India only), May and October, and the results are released in May, August and January respectively. The exams are set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), which is part of the Cambridge Assessment that also includes the OCR GCSE examination board. As of January 2021, there are over 70 subjects available and schools can offer them in any combination.
Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses have been developed to support modern curriculum development, and to encourage good teaching practice. They set internationally recognised standards (equivalent to British GCSE and to GCE O levels). Cambridge IGCSEs can be taken as individual subjects or as qualifications towards the International Certificate of Education (ICE), which is awarded for a minimum of seven IGCSE passes from different subject areas.
Cambridge IGCSE is aimed at a wide ability range of students, with a range of grades awarded from A* (highest grade) to G (lowest). There is a core (C to G) and extended (A* to C) curriculum available in some subjects.
• Cambridge IGCSE uses a variety of assessment techniques to test oral and practical skills, initiative and problem-solving and application of skills, knowledge and understanding.
• A coursework option is available in many syllabuses, allowing schools an element of personal choice and giving teachers the chance to share in the process of assessment.
• Learners are rewarded for positive achievement (what they know, understand, and can do).
• Cambridge IGCSE prepares students for progression to employment, or further study. It also prepares students very well for Cambridge International AS & A Levels.
