Edexcel vs CIE: Key Differences
Edexcel IGCSE exams tend to be more modular in structure than CIE, with questions that build gradually in difficulty. The Pearson mark schemes are generally more prescriptive, rewarding method marks clearly. Understanding these differences is essential for maximising your grade.

Pearson grade boundaries tend to be more transparent
