[quote=Anonymous][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]

My two kids went to dual degree programs where they did two years at a US college and two years at a UK university.

So experienced the difference between multiple choice, many graded assignment vs mid-term and final essays.  One child did better at US college other did better at UK university.

Take away is if the kid is a good writer and more self-motivated they can adapt to UK style, if not it is a harder transition but still doable.  [/quote]
I wonder if IB helps. [/quote]
