Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge IGCEs to meet their entry requirements. For example, leading US and Canadian universities require Cambridge International AS & A Levels, but some US and Canadian colleges and universities will accept learners with five Cambridge IGCEs at grade C or above.In the UK, Cambridge IGCEs is accepted as equivalent to the GCSE. Many UK universities look at Cambridge IGCE grades, as well as predicted grades for Cambridge International A Level, when making admissions decisions.

Assessment takes place at the end of the course and gives student options to suit them, including written, oral, coursework and practical assessment. This broadens opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning, particularly when their first language is not English. With a tiered structure in many subjects for different ability levels, learners of all abilities are assessed positively and bright individuals have the chance to excel. The grades awarded at Cambridge IGCSE are A*-G, with A* being the highest.
