Grades G is considered a pass in Edexcel iGCSE. Fail is when you see “U” on your Statement of Results.
However, universities may require grades higher than G so you may consider retaking the subject.

Hello Arnab,
We would like to confirm if you are taking Edexcel A Level or Cambridge A Level?
Thank you.
Edexcel
Hello Arnab,
You only need to resit the A level units, and you can take it as many times as you want and can request a new overall grade. Providing you’ve been entered under the same Unique Candidate Identifier (UCI) number, Edexcel will use your best result from your two most recent attempts when calculating your overall grade.
We hope this helps. Thank you.

I do not have maths in my IGCSE but i am confident of getting good grades in maths at AS and A level, so can i take it in my AS and A level?
Hello Surya,
We would suggest that you download the IGCSE Maths syllabus here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ so you will know what is the assumed prior knowledge for A Level Maths. Furthermore, it is also best that you confirm with your chosen university if they do not require IGCSE Maths.
