GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education, and is a basic qualification. The exam will be at a time set by the exam board, and you will sit in a room with an invigilator (someone who watches you to make sure you aren't cheating) and do the test independantly. Don't worry about it, all schools do mocks, where you will basically do a runthrough of the exams so by the time you get to the real thing you will be more than ready

International General certificate of Secondary Education

This education is taken mostly by 14 - 16 year olds and is equivalent to GCSE and GCE although a little harder than them . This is being taken in most parts of the world

IGCSE's are internationally recognised whilst gcse's are not. schools today in the UK are changing their syllabuses's to suit the igcse curriculum as they believe it is a truer measure of one's capabilities. you see, IGCSE's are much harder than gcse's with regards to content of syllabus and examinations.

Igcse is internationally recognized and being taken in most parts of the world

so in theory if you can ace an igcse exam then the gcse should be a walk in the park.

GCSE is the normal GCSE that people do all over the UK regardless of what board it is. iGCSE is the GCSE that is done internationally (all over the country).
