兩星期都無!首選凈係考咗試，都未in

如果未in, 你多數等唔到你首選嘅答覆，你便要決定比唔比錢Ipswich

其實一些次選學校可否遲些才申請？ 例如約11月

In fact, you can contact the school (or via the agent) for deferring the payment of deposit (of course not telling the truth that you are waiting for the 1st choice).

Last year I did so.  I asked the school for deferral after Xmas.  I mentioned to the school that my son would like to talk to his cousins (studying in the UK) when they came back during Xmas holiday.  So that, he would get psychologically prepared for the challenges facing by an overseas boarder, before we made the final decision.

You can make up your own story too.

Many of the schools do accommodate.

Once after the interview, you can contact the 1st choice school whether an offer would be likely coz you have offer from another school which is due for deposit payment.

It's quite hard.  One's 2nd or 3rd choice may be another's 1st choice.  Each school only offers a few places to HK students.

As there are so many schools, would suggest to apply those you would let your sons and daughters to go.  When applying for schools, may apply some as the most preferred and some as back up.

有些學校叫ESL, 如果母語不是英文，學校通常要您讀，但如果您在香港讀國際學校或有讀Eng Lit，都可要求學校不讀ESL讀GCSE英文，學校會先test再決定， 因讀ESL/EAL學生到上大學前要考ILETS.

香港國際學校的英語課程與英國本土學校的課程或有所不同, 英國本土課程多含近似中國的詩、詞、歌、賦體裁的研習和含大量修辭技巧, 更要深入瞭解作者的思想感情. 一年的過渡期對非本土學生來說是 a plus

請問各位知唔知到英國讀完Y10 and Y11, 是考GCSE or IGCSE, 其實有咩分別？

It depends on the decision of the school.

It varies from school to school.  My son's school goes for IGCSE for all major subjects.

A school can have certain subjects going for igcse and certain subjects going for gcse.

I haven't compared the syllabus yet but heard that igcse is more rigorous.

Oh ic. That's why when my son took the tutorial to prepare for the uk school entrance exam, he had to learn and practise for poetry comprehension and he found it challenging
