英國大學是否參考IGCSE 成績？

myfanwy

小朋友現在Form 1，本來打算日後讀IB (本身學校沒有安排考IGCSE)
如果他放棄在香港讀上去，改去英國讀six form，咁佢考大學時，A level results 又未出，大學用只能參考佢six form 校內成績，是否會蝕抵啲？我應否安排佢去英國前在香港報讀IGCSE?

我諗冇人可以好肯定咁答你，我個人傾向相信唔睇。（我唔係亂估，係私底下認識UCL同ICL嘅admissions officers，同佢哋傾偈時得出嘅結論）。

當然如果你想考，覺得考咗有用，無可厚非。

早一年去英國讀Y11考埋IGCSE就解決啦

多謝你既回覆。咁佢地係咪考慮校內成績呢？

如果早一年去考，即係呢兩年都要係香港準備佢讀，如果唔係都唔會考到。

需要interview嘅，就會睇埋interview。唔需要interview嘅，主要係PG，始終PG係學校老師根據學生平常表現去評估嘅。

如果有心去英國，不如試吓出年去入Y10。有兩年時間準備考GCSE足夠有餘。

喧嘩

英文成績一定睇，但並非Igcse, 我小朋友係考Gcse英文，所以大學唔洗考ielts 。
而其他gcse科目，我又覺得冇影響喎

咁好睇你孩子學習能力，如果佢係香港讀到中三都可以輕鬆應付到，甘到英國讀Y11即一年制IGCSE係冇問題的

要小心搞清楚。英國考嘅主要係GCSE（係比英國本土學生考嘅試），同香港考嘅iGCSE唔完全一樣。從前甚至講明iGCSE英文係不接受嘅，即係就算iGCSE英文攞A都要再考ielts（近年有部分大學放寬咗要求）。

Y11基本上唔係主要收生年，只有小量「國際」學校，或者有開國際部嘅學校會收生。呢啲主要係一年制嘅iGCSE考試，通常只考5-6科。但係無論寄宿或者student mix都同正式英國寄宿學校有啲分別。當然如果考得唔錯，就可以sixth form入返間好嘅學校。

比較好嘅做法係試吓出年插入Y10。有兩年時間都足夠準備GCSE。

當然都係我個人意見。

相比GCSE 成績，大學更睇重PG，Personal Statement 同interview 。考Oxbridge 額外要考佢哋嘅entrance exam

我都有諗過，但係始終佢喜歡現在既學校，而且我地又覺得boarding school 既負擔較貴，想six form先去讀。

明白嘅。 我就認為冇必要考iGCSE，因為大學都唔計。始終同香港syllabus唔同，點都要額外自修，即係加重小朋友負擔。反而預咗要考返ielts ，同埋早啲諗定sixth form想入邊間學校，research 定校本入學試要準備啲咩仲好。

我都分享下， 兩個細路，一個有考一個冇考，兩個都入咗top u。
阿大冇考，主要係驚佢兼顧唔到中四學業同igcse， 會兩頭唔到岸，當時agent亦都話唔一定要考。 所以只係去英國前個暑假，搵人同佢補下 dse中四同igcse中間個gap。sixth form PG 非常好。當時有人同我講，得個PG, 冇其他嘢畀大學睇，有啲危。不過大學有自己嘅entrance exam ，佢過咗關。
到阿細，我就諗，暑假補又好，考i g c s e又好，佢點都要去補，咁不如直情考咗佢啦。 阿細性格比較自律，所以我相信佢handle得到。
我問過一個英國中學校長，其實有冇必要考igcse，佢話想報top u，最緊要係PG 夠靚。
考唔考，都係各人自己考慮。不過考，就一定要考得好， 否則真係可能有反效果。

非常同意。唔考冇影響，啲大學admissions officer都係咁講（我係幫母校搞overseas university talk嘅時候直接問啲admisssions office講者朋友）。每年大量讀完F4冇考iGCSE嘅香港學生去英國讀sixth form，唔通全部都入唔到好大學？


但係決定考就必須考得好，否則一定有負面影響。

GCSE 重要性因校而異
以下為 G5 要求供參考

Cambridge
https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/applying/entrance-requirements

GCSEs

There are no GCSE (or equivalent) requirements for entry to Cambridge. GCSE results are looked at as a performance indicator, but within the context of the performance of the school/college where they were achieved.

Oxford
https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/admission-requirements/uk-qualifications

GCSEs

GCSEs will be taken in to account when we consider your application but they are just one aspect that we look at. GCSE results will be considered alongside your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and performance in any written work or written test required for your course. If you are shortlisted, your performance in interviews will also be taken into account.

Higher grades at GCSE can help to make your application more competitive, and successful applicants typically have a high proportion of 7,8 and 9 grades. However, we do look at GCSE grades in context.

Imperial
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/apply/contact/faq/

Will you consider my GCSE grades?

In assessing your academic potential, we review all the material information available to us form your UCAS application.

However, our entry requirements are based on A-level or equivalent level qualifications.

The only GCSE grade that we may consider with respect to entry requirements is your English language grade if you are using the results of this qualification to show that you meet our required English language standard for entry, or a relevant modern foreign language for courses with a year abroad.

UCL
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/undergraduate/how-apply/entry-requirements

GCSE and equivalent qualifications

All programmes require a grade 5 or higher in English Language and Mathematics at GCSE or equivalent. Some programmes require higher grades or additional GCSE passes. Please check the requirements of each individual programme carefully.

If you haven’t met the GCSE requirements for the programme you are interested in, please contact us for further advice.

Please note – you do not need a Modern Foreign Language at GCSE and are not required to take further language study whilst at UCL.

LSE
https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Prospective-Students/Virtual-undergraduate-open-day/applying-to-LSE/applying-to-lse

GCSEs: GCSEs will be taken into account when we assess your application. All applicants are expected to have at least grade B/grade 6 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics.

As competition for places at LSE is intense, we look for applicants who have achieved a strong set of GCSE grades overall, including a majority at A (7) and A* (8-9). Some programmes have additional requirements, and these are outlined in the individual programme pages.

Agree very much that you have to check the admissions requirements of the targeted sixth form schools.

If the targeted sixth form schools offer not IB but A level and if you do not plan to take A level Math, you may be in disadvantage when applying to some courses without I/GCSE Math, e.g. Psychology.

For Oxbridge, you have to take the entrance exam before having the opportunity to be interviewed and so I/GCSE does not really matter.

好認同你講法！可以唔考就真係唔好去考，當時我個仔間學校係必須要考，所以冇得揀。

要考的話，就一定要考得好
