About Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE)
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE) is the world's most popular international qualification for 14-16 year olds, taught in international schools across more than 80 countries. It is recognised by leading universities and employers worldwide as equivalent to the UK GCSE, and is the international counterpart to Edexcel's UK GCSE rather than a more advanced qualification.
Edexcel IGCSEs are graded on the 9-1 scale, where 9 is the highest grade; some legacy specifications still use A*-G grading. IGCSE is designed to be accessible to students whose first language may not be English, and many subjects are assessed entirely by written examination, without coursework.
IGCSE exams run in two main series: May/June and January. The January series is a genuine second sitting for international centres — this archive holds 109 January IGCSE sessions — and a smaller November series is also available for some subjects. Results follow roughly two months after each series.

We have Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE) past papers from 2011–2024. Papers from the current specification (the 9-1 specifications first examined from 2017) are the most relevant for revision.
They are the same level of qualification — IGCSE is the international version of the GCSE, taken by 14-16 year olds and graded 9-1. The differences are practical rather than academic: IGCSE is written for international centres, is usually assessed entirely by written examination without coursework, and runs a January series alongside May/June. UK universities treat the two as equivalent.
Start with the most recent paper and work backwards. Attempt each paper under timed exam conditions without notes. After completing it, use the mark scheme to self-assess — note exactly where marks were lost and why. Focus revision on weak topics, then repeat with another paper. Most students find 3-5 years of past papers sufficient for thorough preparation.
