IGCSE Registration Deadlines: Cambridge & Edexcel

Missing the IGCSE registration deadline can mean waiting until the next session (often several months) or paying late entry fees. Here are the main cycles and what to aim for.

Late Entry and Fees

Both boards allow late entry for a limited time after the standard deadline. Late fees (often 25–50% extra) apply. After the late window, no further entries are accepted for that session.
