Entry test for uk foreign self finance

xfinix · 08-08-2008, 11:05 AM

hi im really confused as to whether i have to sit the entry test or not, im applying as a uk foreign self finance student n have read that some people dont have to take the entry exam if applying to govt colleges. Im applying to KMC and would like to know whether i have to sit the test or not?

also, i have biology, chemistry and physics which are contained within the double science GCSE as well as biology and chemistry at AS and A2 but physics only at AS, can i still get in with this?

please help!

thank you

dont worry abt the entry test....u dont need any entry test for a foreign seat at kmc.......... and you ll need physics in A2 as well otherwise u cant get equivalency made from ibcc.............. all u pretty much need now is a2 physics and ur set...................internal exam means basically ur school record and ur class tests and wutever u did at school......external exams are like GCSE, A levels etc. u dont need to worry abt int examination since ur gcse and a levels..........the internal crap applies to american students..............

thank u! i guess im gonna have 2 take physics a2 ths yr at college and apply 4 KMC next yr.

oh and if i have external examinations as u say GCSE/A levels are, does that mean the ibcc will deduct 20% from my equivalence marks?
