Related FAQs

How should I prepare for the admission assessment and interview?

If I cannot attend the “pre-registration required” assessment, are there alternative arrangements?

The "pre-registration required" assessments will take place on the same date worldwide.  There is no alternative arrangement.

What are the formats of the “pre-registration required” and “Cambridge College registered” assessments?

What is the format of the interview in Hong Kong?

You will have two interviews, each lasting around 30 to 45 minutes.

College interviews are predominantly academic and subject-related. One or two interviewers will be specialists in the subject you have applied for.  There may be another interviewer not directly related to your subject.

Scholarship interviews are also subject-based,  but there may be more questions of a general nature.

A reasonable standard of spoken English is required at the interviews.
