The IGCSE exams, usually only taken in private schools, are still going ahead this summer - even though GCSEs and A-levels have been cancelled.
Exam boards that run IGCSEs plan to offer them, while many other exams have been stopped by the pandemic.
IGCSE qualifications, alternative exams to GCSEs, are not usually available in state schools.
Pupils in England whose A-levels and GCSEs are cancelled will depend on replacement grades from teachers.
But Education Secretary Gavin Williamson s scrapping of exams this summer does not apply to students taking IGCSEs.
