Frequently Asked Questions

Is Double Award harder than Triple Science? expand_more
It covers slightly less content per subject than Triple Science (Separate Sciences), but you still study Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It awards 2 IGCSE grades (e.g., A*A* or BB). It is efficient but still demanding.
Can I take A-Levels with Co-ordinated Sciences? expand_more
Yes, absolutely. The Extended curriculum (0654) is designed to provide sufficient foundation for A-Level or IB Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, provided you achieve good grades (usually B/6 or higher).
Do we do real experiments in online classes? expand_more
For Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical), you do not need to perform physical experiments. We teach you how to analyze data, plan experiments, and identify variables theoretically, which is exactly what the exam tests.
How often are the classes? expand_more
We typically recommend 2 sessions per week to cover the breadth of the three sciences comfortably, but we can customize the schedule based on your timeline to the exams.
