Hi, mattsmum, long time no talk, how are you?
Well, from my observations of past data, IGCSE seems to give some predictions of IBD grades of the student if the student perform consistently... But of course, there are exceptions...

Me too.
I read some correlation between GCSE vs GCE AL; and IBDP vs Second Class Upper or above in Cambridge, but not in IGCSE vs IBDP.

BTW, GCSE & IGCSE are subject based national examination, IB more a holistic education program instead of a traditional subject-based exam..... That's my understanding.

Don't treat me wrong, just provide some data for your reference.

I took you point, it takes time to reflect the trend and standard of any new program. I know the boys take LPC as benchmark in HK.

I don't have such correlation, I only know that the school has set some requirements based on GCSE grades for students in choosing IB subjects and levels.  GCSE or IGCSE exams grades reflect to certain extent the strength and weakness of the student and thus give reference to their IBD choice and performance.  It's a combination of different factors though, the skills, the choice, the interest and the targeted colleges of the student.  I never have those scientific and systematic analysis as ANCHAN...  Usually I just read something and put it in my mind, then mix and match... very C9 way!
Is your child also waiting for IGCSE results soon?

Here is a good info from UWCSEA in Singapore, it elaborates the linkage between IGCSE and IBDP, in subject selection and not exam results correlation.

Enjoy it.

I am so glad to see the discussion shift from purely results to the logic and rationale behind the arrangement. It means more for better subject selection and anticipate a better education for their kids.

I always remember in my MBA - Corporate Strategy class, the German professor always asked a question right after our data or info presentation "So what?" . Think about it!!!

I wonder how many IGCSE subjects students in HK usually take nowadays.  Anyone knows?

According to the released figures, the A*/A percentage for popular subjects would range from 35% to 45%. So it is not difficult to obtain 8 to 10 A*/A in GCSE examination.

想問吓咁多位前輩,係咪即是如果學生同時考IGCSE & DSE, 又可同時經NON-JUPAS & JUPAS升大學, 機會會大d? 所以有d學校會為學生報兩個試!?

A candidate can only choose one route to apply for U admission, either JUPAS or non-JUPAS, but not both.

我跟你的理解一樣。
自己都聽不少單憑GCSE/IGSE 従拔尖入三大,每年都有被踢出校,特別是醫科。認識的一個女孩被迫回到英國讀大學。十分可惜。她覺得GCSE 太淺,自己心智及決心未預備好讀醫科。
