GCSE's are what you do in your final year of secondary education.
Whereas GCE is what you do in college.
It is just basucally your A levels and it is split up into 2 years.
The first year is As level and the second year is the final A level, in which your grades from the first and second year will be combined to give you your final results.
With regards to UCAS points, they only count your A level points (GCE), not your GCSE results.
Your GCSE results are recorded mainly as a backup just in case you miss your grades to get into university, they will see how good you were academically during school or maybe for othe reasons.
I've just completed my A levels (GCE) and I'm now in my first year of uni.
Good luck with whatever you want to do!!

They are not quite the same thing. In the UK GCE O Levels were superseded by GCSE in the 19800's but the exam boards still exist and other countries still use them. The course you are applying to is in Singapore where O Levels are still used. Grade 1 O Level is roughly equivelant to A*/A at GCSE, grade 2 = B etc.

General Certificate of Education(GCE) used to be in 2 forms in England and Wales, O level after 5 years of secondary school is now the modern day GCSE, A level after additional 2 years, it is now equivalent of AS + A2. However, they still use the old style in few commonwealth countries.

Yes in essence GCE is a General Certificate of Education and a GCSE is a General Certificate of secondary Education

GCE part of the A-level title, which is the next step up from GCSE.
GCSEs are worth 0 UCAS points

No they are not. GCE's are older qualifications (General Certificates of Education) and are generally worth less if you have them than GCSE's. GCSE's being the modern equivalent's of 'O' Levels (General Certificate's of Secondary Education). Can't help withpoints though, sorry.

When i was at school (i left in 1974), secondary schools took CSE's and grammar schools took GCE's. I never knew what the initials actually stood for, but obviously they've just merged the two.
