CAIE vs Edexcel vs AQA<\/p>\n<p>They all offer internationally recognised qualifications, but not the same ones. Choosing the right board can affect your exam style, grading system, and even how you prepare to study A Level in the future can significantly affect your score.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s break it down in a simple way.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is an IGCSE Exam Board?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>An <b>IGCSE exam board<\/b> is the organisation that creates the syllabus, exam papers, and mark schemes.
