I have always struggled with maths and was so worried about passing my GCSE maths equivalency test but after my second attempt I got there. I am so thanbkful for all of the support I received and would definitely recommend A* equivalency to others who need it
I had not studied in England before and my qualifications didn’t translate into a GCSE apparently so I needed to do the English equivalency test. Thankfully I passed first time and can start my course in September.
I have never liked maths and found revising for this test a real drain of energy. Managed to pass and now looking forward to my degree.
An all round good service. The staff were friendly on the phone and explained how it all worked. Worth reading the spec and mock paper before the exam.
I found the support invaluable. I had contacted another equivalency testing company and heard nothing back . I was worried if my training provider would accept this but I have had no issues at all as the A Star one seems to be accepted everywhere now.
Make sure you revise Biology, physics and chemistry all equally. I stayed away from the Physics as I don’t like maths too much but it nearly caught me out.
Was good service just don’t see why I need to pass this when I already have degree

Amazing service 😊
I had to do this to get onto my Uni course and I passed first time 🙂
The exam isn’t easy but if you revise using the materials provided then passing is possible within a matter of weeks if you dedicate yourself to it
The best equivalency testing provider in my opinion
It was quite a bit of work but worth it to get into my PGCE for this September. If you are already confident in English then you may be okay, but as it is my second language I needed to make sure I did the work.
Brilliant staff and professional service. They were very helpful and accurate all the way.
Excellent course materials, customer service is quick and efficient when contacted. Exam well reorganised and results came through very quickly. Very impressed.
I felt really at ease during my exam, the examiner was very calm and helpful. Hoping to receive my result soon. Thank you!
Thank you
i received great support thank you so much for the wonderful chat system and the kind support team.
Very responsive with email enquiries, thank you. The online exam process was easier than I expected. I wrote on lined paper of my own, there’s a QR code which you can scan to upload the photos of your writing. Although I became nervous towards the end, that’s a different story, there is never enough time in an exam. I hope my result will come soon…butterflies…
It was a great experience, goid support. There is always a person on the other side to help

Overall a good experience after I got over the shock of having to study again
I was dreading having to study science again after over 20 years but needed to be done to progress in my career . The content was very helpful and online lectures were broken down and easy to follow. I took my exam and passed first time !
Communication with a star was both quick and supportive. Was easy to rearrange exam date and was made to feel at ease during the exam.
Thanks a star ! I am now ready to continue my journey .
Thank you for good service!
I am glad that I have chosen A Star Equivalency; I have done all three subjects (English, combined science and maths). They are genuinely A*/ 5 stars. The invigilators will talk through the steps with you with calmness and reassurance. Thank you, A Star Equivalency team, especially to Dave, Kieran and Jess.

The process of taking Maths and English Equivalency with Astar was very simple. The software used for the test is user-friendly and astar provide immediate reply to any questions before, during and after the test. The materials they provide to help revise are also great.

Robert is such a massive help for me during the exam. The resources in the course is also very helpful. I definitely recommend A Star Equivalency.
The preparation for the English test became not a hard task due to well-prepared and organized course materials.

Quick response to emails and willingness to help at any moment is a remarkable advantage of A Star Equivalency. I recommend A Star Equivalency. Thank you for the support and guidance given to uplift my standard.

I definitely recommend A Star Equivalency. The preparation for the English test is great, you have enough material to practice and then you are able to get two mock exams graded, which gives you a perfect indication of the exam and whether you would pass it. The feedback was great and I felt well prepared on the day.

The exam was very straightforward to access online. I thought it would be difficult as it was on zoom but it wasn’t. The past papers were very helpful. I haven’t got my results yet but I am confident I have past from all the help I received. Thank you very much.
Helpful from the first phone call to the last email. I was so concerned about revising for Science having not done it for over 20 years. The course pack was a huge help but make sure you revise as the hard work will pay off.
I would recommend A Star Equivalency as their resources were good.
Very well organised process and frequent mail alerts about the test are the 2 points which I really appreciate about the ASTAR.
