Facts last verified:
Which IGCSE boards do schools in Oman use?
Cambridge IGCSE (Cambridge International Education)
Graded A* to G on most syllabuses, with Core and Extended routes in subjects such as Mathematics (0580), Physics (0625), Chemistry (0620) and Biology (0610). Students aiming for A or A* need the Extended route, so confirm the tier with the school early in Year 10.
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE
Graded 9 to 1, with Foundation and Higher tiers in subjects such as Mathematics A (4MA1). Some schools in Oman use Edexcel for Maths and sciences and Cambridge for other subjects, so check the board for each subject on your child's statement of entry.
When are IGCSE exams for students in Oman?
| Session | What applies in Oman |
|---|---|
| May/June series | The main series for schools in Oman, for both Cambridge and Edexcel. Cambridge IGCSE results for the June series come out in August; June 2026 results were released on 18 August 2026. |
| October/November series | Used for resits and by private candidates. The British Council in Oman accepts private entries for this series. Cambridge IGCSE results for November 2026 are due on 14 January 2027. |
Where do students in Oman sit IGCSE exams?
Students at international schools sit IGCSE exams at their own school where it is a registered centre. The school enters them and confirms tiers and coursework.
Private candidates register for Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel exams through the British Council in Oman, which accepts private entries for the May/June and October/November series. Registration is done online, followed by payment at the British Council office.
Registration closes months before each series. Check the British Council Oman website for the current deadlines and fees before planning revision.
Can my child take IGCSE as a private candidate in Oman?
Yes. The British Council in Oman registers private candidates for Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel exams in the May/June and October/November series. You register online and then pay at the British Council office, and the entry is not complete until fees are paid.
Check that each syllabus is open to private candidates before you choose it, because subjects with coursework or practical components can be harder to enter privately. A tutor can help you pick written-paper alternatives where the syllabus offers them.
Should students in Oman choose Cambridge or Edexcel IGCSE?
If your child is at school, the school decides, and tutoring should follow that board exactly. For private candidates, compare the papers, tiers and series. Cambridge runs both May/June and October/November for all main subjects, while Edexcel's November series covers a smaller set, so Cambridge often gives more flexibility for resits.

What times are online IGCSE classes in Oman?
Classes run in Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), usually between about 3pm and 9pm on school days and from morning to early evening on Fridays and Saturdays. Pakistan is one hour ahead, so a 5pm class in Muscat is 6pm for the tutor.
Most of Oman's international schools are in the Muscat area, but families in Sohar, Nizwa and Salalah can find specialist IGCSE tutors harder to reach locally. Online lessons make location irrelevant.
Private schools in Oman are licensed by the Ministry of Education. During Ramadan, school hours are shorter and lessons usually move to after iftar. We teach online only and never send tutors to homes.
Weekdays after school
3pm to 9pm Oman time (GST) is 4pm to 10pm in Pakistan (GMT+5), when many of our tutors teach.
Weekends
9am to 8pm Oman time (GST) is 10am to 9pm in Pakistan (GMT+5), when many of our tutors teach.
