1What is the program?
Live online tuition for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (9–1) — a rigorous pre-16 qualification with a streamlined all-terminal assessment model.
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE assessments are primarily 100% written terminal examinations (no controlled coursework in most subjects), making them particularly well suited to focused exam preparation. MENTISERA teaches Edexcel IGCSE with explicit past-paper integration from the start.
2Who is it for?
Students aged 14–16 in Pakistan or overseas preparing for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE examinations.
Suitable for students in Edexcel-affiliated schools requiring additional support, homeschoolers, and students whose preferred examination centre offers Pearson Edexcel rather than Cambridge.

Pearson Edexcel IGCSE syllabi in Mathematics (4MA1), Physics (4PH1), Chemistry (4CH1), Biology (4BI1), English Language (4EA1), Economics (4EC1), Business Studies (4BS1), Computer Science (4CP1), and Accounting (4AC1).
Content follows published Pearson Edexcel International GCSE specifications. Grading is on a 9–1 scale (9 highest, equivalent to A** in older systems). Teachers explicitly map lessons to mark scheme allocation.
4What skills will they develop?
Terminal examination technique, structured written response, 9–1 mark-scheme awareness, and subject-specific analytical skills.
Edexcel IGCSE assessments are predominantly written papers with structured-response and extended-answer questions. Students learn to allocate time across papers, target high-mark questions first, and write mark-scheme-compliant answers.
5How long does it take?
10-month full session or 6-month exam preparation intensive for June series.
Full session begins September and runs to June examinations. January series candidates (where available) begin the intensive in September for January sitting.

Live online small-group classes, recorded replays, Edexcel past-paper packs, and LMS-based assignments.
All sessions delivered via interactive video with digital whiteboard. Edexcel specification-specific past papers and mark schemes are used throughout. Assignments reviewed within 72 hours.
7What does it cost?
PKR 25,000 per month for the full O-Level-equivalent program; PKR 15,000 per month for each individual subject.
The fixed monthly full-program package covers administrator-configured included subjects. Individual subjects cost PKR 15,000 per month. Pearson Edexcel examination fees are paid directly to an approved centre.

What is the difference between Edexcel International GCSE and Cambridge IGCSE?▾
Both are internationally recognised pre-16 qualifications. Edexcel IGCSE uses a 9–1 grading scale (9 highest); Cambridge IGCSE uses A*–G. Edexcel assessments are primarily 100% terminal written exams with very little or no coursework, which many students find more straightforward to prepare for.
Does MENTISERA register students for Pearson Edexcel examinations?▾
No. MENTISERA provides tuition only. Students must register independently through a Pearson Edexcel approved examination centre. We can advise on finding a suitable centre.
Is Edexcel IGCSE accepted by Pakistani universities?▾
Yes. IBCC issues equivalence certificates for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE results, making them acceptable for university admission in Pakistan alongside Cambridge O-Level and IGCSE.
Can I switch to Cambridge IGCSE if I change my mind?▾
Most content overlaps significantly. Our counsellors can review your syllabus and create an adjusted ILP to cover any Cambridge-specific topics not in the Edexcel specification.
Examination registration is handled separately through an approved Pearson Edexcel examination centre. External exam fees are not included in MENTISERA tuition.
