[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 184607, member: 36777"] I was in the same situation as you last year and I was a bit confused as to what information I should or should not include. I ended up providing a more detailed answer than yours, but that was because my prior education was not in the form of international exams, but a unique set of examinations which only exist in my home country. As they used different marking systems and weighing mechanisms, I ended up writing a longer paragraph to properly explain the context and meaning of my results. That said, in your case, provided you have included all the IB and IGCSE grades in other sections of the application form, I think the current answer is fine. International exams tend to be well known by recruiters and you are not generally expected to further explain them. Moreover, your writing throughout the application form is partly assessed on metrics of brevity and relevance. In other words, recruiters will notice if you are taking more space than necessary to convey information and will count that as a mark against you. [/QUOTE]
