My daughter just did her exams this summer - obviously I don't know what their plans are for the coming years She did IGCSE English Lit and Lang, and two Maths GCSEs, as they did the Linked Pair scheme that is being piloted.

Re: gcse - english and maths
I meant IGCSE English Language and IGCSE English Literature, two separate exams. Sorry if I was misleading!
I'm sure they did CIE. Language was 50% coursework -short story, film review, response to a newspaper article, 50% exam. Plus they did the optional speaking and listening bit.
For Literature there are different combinations, and you can choose coursework, but they did the route where it's all exam. 75% on their set texts, 25% on an unseen piece.
