Gcse maths for graduate jobs

4 replies

Goldchilled7up · 18/03/2013 17:55

I'm currently on an undergraduate course and I've just been made aware that most graduate programmes ask for a minimum grade c in maths. The problem is that I didn't do my secondary studies in the Uk and in my country we don't have any exams that would be equivalent to gcses. As most applications are done online, I'm worried to be scanned out straight always by selecting no gcses.

Should I sit as an external candidate for gcses now during my degree? Smile

It might not be a bad idea - it'll save a lot of hassle and it is required a lot, for instance for teacher training.

Sorry if I made it confusing, by graduate programmes I mean graduate jobs. Thanks

Thank you for your replies, I'll do that. I did a couple of mock tests on my phone, and it seems quite straight forward.
