Hi Qing
I can confirm that only 3 skills are required. There is an optional speaking
exam (Paper 3) which is awarded separately if your candidate wants to do it.
You can download the full specification here:

Dear All
I received this email from Shelley this morning and get really confused
now.
It would be wonderful if anyone can confirm that from 2011, 4 skills are
required for Edexcel IGCSE.
Many thanks
Regards
Qing

To my understanding, this is no longer the case. As Excel also requires
candidates to take 4 skills as from 2011, which all our students in our
school did and the results were pretty good!
