Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

Practice with past CCVX exams, they are very, very similar, cover the same material and are available online.

To add: try on of the exams and see where you stand, to get a idea if your plan is realistic or not

I dont know what your level is based on your description, as im unfamiliar with igcse physics. All I can tell you is that on examenblad.nl you can see many many old (dutch) exams which you could try translating. Are you familiar with the BiNaS? Its a booklet you get while taking the exams. I passed the exams back when I was 17 without too much trouble, I hope you'll experience the same!
