IGCSE’s

• A globally recognised qualification

respected by colleges and employees.

• 8 or more is a desired foundation

for university entry

• Graded A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,U.
• C or above is considered a good

pass.

• Generally it is required for a student

to get a C or higher to be able to start an AS in the subject.

• IGCSE English can be used as the

language requirement

• TYCIS requirement for Year 12

entry: 5 IGCSE’s with C or higher.

• Universities look at IGCSE Grades:

for University of Cambridge, most successful applicants have 8 IGCSEs with A* grades.

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge International School

· 别把高一高二IGCSE不当回事！ · 因为： 1.大学会看，剑桥为例，8科以 上的IGCSE的 A*几乎成了其学 生的标配 2.IGCSE的成绩也会反映学生的 爱好和能力，可以助力学生的 AS选课和以后的专业选择 3.IGCSE英语是能够代替雅思作 为学生语言能力的证明的，考 了IG英语，可能就不用考雅思

AS Levels

• For Year 12 at TYCIS, students

select 4 AS Levels

• Should select in areas of interest and

high grade potential

• Must choose subjects relevant to

University Degree Course Example: to study Economics at university, must have A Level Mathematics

• 50% of A Level grade is from AS

Level

• AS Mathematics is taken in Year 11

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge International School

· 高三开始的AS 课程的要点： 1.择其所好，择其所长 选自己喜欢的课程，选自己擅长 的课程 2.大学要求，但选无妨 如果想去的大学专业有要求选择 特定课程，那就别犹豫了直接选 吧

A Levels

• Minimum 3 A Levels

required to enter a top university but 4 is respected.

• 50% of the mark is the AS

Level mark

· 最少三门，加权算分 高三成绩占高四总成绩的一 半，大学要求学生至少有三 门A Level，要求四门或者 以上的大学很少 大学们也可能会要求学生在 特定科目达到特定成绩，达 不到的话毕了业去都去不了

Preparing for University Applications

• Besides getting the right grades, a

student must complete extra activities for prove to a university they have the passion and interest to study the subject.

• The student explains their passion

and interest in the Personal Statement

• The University Counsellor, Principal

and Teachers help students to write the personal statement, we are very experienced.

·课外活动磨练本领， 个人简历道出热爱。 当然，英国大学录取也从来没 什么唯分数论，大学们也希望 能够看到参加过更过课外活动， 并且对自己的选择更加热爱的 学生。

Activities for application

Language Requirements

One big challenge for TYCIS students is to satisfy language requirements for a university course. TYCIS Student use their IGCSE English for many top universities: IGCSE First Language: B, A, A* Grade IGCSE Second Language: A, A* Grade OR Students can use a standard test like IELTS, TOEFL or the Pearson Test University websites show what is acceptable for each course

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge International School

过语言关： IGCSE 英语第一语言 —— B 以上 IGCSE 英语第二语言 —— A 以上 或者 雅思托福pte

Student Personal Characteristics

For students to be successful at TYCIS, during their application and at university they must have certain skills and behaviour: 1) Be proactive 2) Organised and Responsible 3) Fluent in English in and out of class 4) Be prepared to speak with confidence in front of others in English

我们希望学生能有 以下习惯: 1) 积极主动 2) 负责任，勤整理 3) 课内外，讲英语

Going to top universities is not easy

Exceptional Universities require Exceptional Students or they won’t get entry and survive! 在大学高压的环境下生存对学生的能力有着 很高的要求，所以大家一定不要以为上了大 学就完事了。
