[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am British, now living in the U.SA  but graduated from University of London(Queen Mary College)

Can someone who has studied at both  USA high school and UK university,  please speak on their experience going from multchoice type questions (my USA kids mainly have multiple choice style questions for schoolwork at US public school) -vs- the essay style questions UK uni's use at end of year course exams (no multiple choice allowed).

Was it easy to make the transition in the two assessment styles?[/quote]

I went to HS in the US and ended up at LSE to study Econ. It all depends on what kind of high school your kids go to. I was blessed to have been able to go to an elite private school in the Dallas area. I did not have ONE multiple choice test while I was there. It was very rigorous and it prepared me very well for LSE. My English and Asian friends in my first year similar stereotypical view of Americans, thinking I was going to crash and burn…as most Brits assume the typical HS education in the US is below par….maybe it is. But I graduated with a first from LSE and have been in the PE industry now for 2 decades back in the US. My son is now at Oxford studying Economics. He went to the same high school….no issues at all with rigor at Oxford.[/quote]
