1. Entrance to British and Amirecan universities is via a strict selection process based on an interview.
2. The universities are divided into three types: the old universities (Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh Universities), in the 19th century universities, such as London and Manchester universities, and the new universities. Some years ago there were also polytechnics.
3.Britain: A first degree, which is usually an honours degree, generally takes three years. Most courses end with exams called finals. Results are given as classes (= grades): a first is the highest class, seconds are often split between upper second and lower second, and below that is a third. Graduates may add the letters BA (Bachelor of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Science) after their name. Some graduates go on to study for a further degree, often a master’s degree or a doctorate.
The USA: Students are given grades at the end of each course. The highest grade is A; the lowest is F, which means that the student has failed the course and will not get credit for taking it. To check a student’s overall progress, the university calculates a grade point average (GPA). Students who finish their degree with a high GPA may be awarded Latin honours, of which the highest is summa cum laude.

5. American high school students who want to study at a college or university have to take a standardized test, e.g. the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the ACT (American College Test). Students from countries outside the US who are not native speakers of English must also take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Each college or university decides on the minimum score it will accept, though test scores are never the only factor taken into account.
6. Students in Britain formerly had their tuition fees paid by the state and received a government grant to help pay their living expenses. Now, they receive only a loan towards their expenses, and from 1999 most will also have to pay £1 000 a year towards tuition fees. The new arrangements have caused a great deal of concern both among students and among members of the public who believe that education should be free.
7. GPA (Grade Point Average) (Am.E) – an average academic score for a student in a US high school, college or university. The highest grade A receives 4 points, В is 3, С is 2, D is 1 and F is 0.
8. Student counselors, also called guidance counselors, are professionals who help students at the high school or college level.
10. Most universities receive some money from the state.
11. Graduate (infml. grad) – a person who has completed a university degree course. Undergraduate (undergrad) – a student who is doing a university course for a Bachelor's degree.
12. For me, an oral examination is better than written one, because examiner can help you with questions, and also they will understand if you know the material or not. Although sometimes they scare students to death only with their way of looking at them.
13. In my opinion, written tasks are more popular with Russian students as they have more opportunities to use cribs. But in our univerity, the oral exams are more popular, so bafore them all our group is nerveous. We are in panic, as we are afraid of our examiner, always.
14. I'd like to study in the Uk, as for me it's quite interesting to study abroad, to learn smth new.
Students from countries outside the US who are not native speakers of English must also take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
15. To my mind, the idea of choosing the major subjects for a student is brilliant, as he himself choose the subjects, which he wants to learn. That means that he would really be interested in it.
