I love the whole experience, plenty of resources and the fast track is really fast.
Communication with A star has been very efficient. My exam vigilator has been very helpful when a technical problem with scanning my exam answers appeared.
A would highly recommend A Star. I needed a pass level 4 (55%+) in Maths as an essential requirement for teacher training. I paid A Star for the course Materials which were extensive and included a booklet, practice papers, mock exam papers and access to the MME website including a personal learning portal. The website was particularly helpful and contained an extensive library of video tutorials on every single topic as well as practice papers and mock exams that gave you feedback and advice. The MME website was an essential learning tool that helped me gain my pass. In addition A Star’s own weekly live video tutorials were also very useful. The fast track service exceeded my expectations, this service promises results within two working days and I received my results within 14 hours of completing the exam. A Star is a very effective supportive choice for those seeking to gain a maths equivalency certificate.
I took both Maths and English. Every one is very helpful.
During the English test Lucas and particularly Elise was very very helpful to sort my exam to be marked
Booked and took exams within 1 week and passed at 4 required of me.
Great staff, very understanding and very cooperative . Will recommend on any day .
Smooth and easy process of any exam. I took English eq.and if you follow to the GCSE English study guideline, easy to pass.
Thanks for a good expereince.
Excellent service, as soon as you’ve booked an exam they keep in touch to make sure you have everything in place; on the day of the exam the invigilator was brilliant.I did a fast track for my maths results and it arrived in less than 24hrs. The E-Certificate which was supposed to take three working days also arrived within less than 24hrs.
Although the price appears high for the course and exam, I fully recommend you spend the money, rather than keep paying for resits.
The guide is comprehensive, though unfortunately I didn’t manage signing up to the classes, and you can’t watch them after the fact, hence the 4 stars.
The process was strand the Invigilator for the exam was thorough and patient.
Fingers crossed I won’t be eating my words as the results aren’t for three days!
Very efficient, excellent communication.
Thank you astar equivalency I was very pleased with the service I received.
I bought the theory package for my exam and unfortunately missed my first exam by 5 points I was gutted but more determined to revise.
I used the revision guides and recommendations for the online YouTube lessons.
It is a lot of information to learn and not everything is in the packs. But I found with everything all together and lots of exam practice papers I passed second time around.
Great service, support and professional set up when conducting the exams.
Many thanks
Joe, online maths lecturer was really supportive and helpful. He deserves 5 stars.
I would leave 5 stars for A star but I won’t for the following reasons:
* I had no source of time during my exam and the invigilator knew this. I had to surrender my watch as it’s a smart watch – I wasn’t given any indication on time, only when there was 10 minutes left. Would expect a half way announcement.
* The physical certificate is a rip off at £20.00…….
I got the grade I needed first time but this was down to me studying everyday.
The course arrived promptly and the customer service was good. Just those two points above that I felt unhappy about.
Astar had great communication and kept me completely up to date with preparations and timelines. The actual exam was seamless (except the link to log in went to my Junk folder and I found it by accident, whilst waiting for it to arrive). The invigilator was professional, friendly and kind, which helped put me at ease. The exam was well organised and easy to access. Thank you for making a very stressful period easier to navigate through.
Helpful and friendly staff that make you feel at ease. Very straightforward to do my maths equivalency test. Fingers crossed for a pass! 🙂
Organising the exam was really easy, they were really helpful and managed my needs well. The revision pack really helped to develop my knowledge, so that I passed.
Excellent customer service. Very helpful and friendly staff. Easy to book a test and fast results. Excellent support and guidance Thanks to Astar Equivalency I passed my GCSE English Equivalency test. Highly recommended.
The staff are amazing and extremely supportive the only negative is the exam papers examples do not reflect the actual test so I think better exams should be used but apart from that I would highly recommend Astar.
Thank you for helping me pass my English, Maths and Combined Science.
Amazing services, and very helpful staff as the exam can be really tricky if you go unprepared!
I failed my first two attempts as I didn’t prepare properly as I thought if I was able to finish my degree with a 1st class, this should be easier.
Big thank you to Mr. David Dennis as he helped provided me the right help and very precise information on what I really have to focus in order to smash the exam.
Didn’t take me more than 5 days to revise the links David sent to me, and I was able to pass my exam with a level 6.
Thank you very much A star team!
Amazing team, always there to ask questions to and very quickly in response. Also very supportive when the exam got closer and my stress levels went up! The revision guides were incredibly helpful as they structured my revision and were a great way of testing myself to know my weak areas.
Fabulous service, I can now go on and start my pgce…thank you
Extremely great full to A Star, I took both maths and combined science. The service was excellent, I paid for fast track and got result within 24hrs of sitting exam. I recommend this service if anyone needs to take equivalency exam.
Very efficient service and excellent customer service. Easy to book a test and fast results. I passed my English Equivalency test. Thank you A star. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend A star to anyone who needs to take the GCSE English equivalent test. I spent nearly 2 months to get 59% Grade 5 and I can start my teacher training finally. I bought the course which is very good and also there are lots of past paper on their website which is really helpful for the exam. I tried my best and A star tried their best to support. They are definitely a real Star! Thank you so much.
Did my equivalency test with another company first until a friend recommended A Star and I am soooo soooo glad they did. Brilliant service and everything was easy to set up and understand.
Easy to book test and very fast results
I found my experience with A Star very pleasing. The staff was very helpful and answered all the questions I had very quickly, and my invigilator was really kind and made me feel comfortable during the exam. I paid for fast track and the results were given the third day after my exam (since I bough it ‘out of hours’) and that was a bit disappointing, but I understand why. I passed with a 6 and didn’t find the exam extremely difficult. I would have like to have received feedback on it though, as I only got my percentage and grade. In general, however, I was very happy with the service.
Extremely grateful to A star Equivalency test who assist me brilliantly. Its services is phenomenal and open the doors towards my career. Honestly amazing customer service and specially examiner.
So easy and smooth & I now I can finally start my teaching course.
Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. This was my 4th time of sitting a science gcse in my life time. First time online using astar equivalency and I passed first time. I invested in their course materials and it provided all the information needed.
excellent service by A star.
I did my GCSE maths with A star and will definitely recommend the service to anyone who needs equivalency. Before A Star I went with another provider, who although cost me slightly less, they were very disorganised in comparison. A star were super organised, by sending all the info about the exam days before. On the day of exam, the invigilator was very nice and understanding. I wrote my questions on paper and scanned at the end, which made everything so much easier and also saved a lot of time. I paid extra for fast track and got my result in less than 24 hours! The only downside for me was the cost of the fast track, plus the fact that once you’ve passed you need to pay £20 for a hard copy of the certificate. Otherwise I would’ve given A star 5 stars as the service was very professional and I was over the moon to pass first time!
Very professional and amazing customer service. I took my first exam with a different well known provider who were absolutely awful and a complete waste of money.
I would definitely recommend astar equivalency, I paid for fast track results which were returned to me the next morning.
Great experience with a star. Highly recommend. Staff is very supportive. Given option to write on paper instead of typing on screen online. That helped me most. Passed with a level english equivalency test😍
Everything was great. I had the online exam and I could write down the answer. At the end I had to scan the papers. It was quickly and easy. I really recommend it.
I was soo worried about sitting this exam as my teacher training course would not be going ahead without the grade. I printed off the Edexcel IGCSE Biology Specification, and studied all areas (as overwhelming the document may seem I highly recommend doing printing it off and highlighting what you’ve studied as you go along).
A STAR really were A Star, no question I asked was ever too much. Fab service from start to finish. The team were super helpful and understanding, they are also very very quick with responding to any questions you may have.
I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, very much worth the money!
Thank you A Star Equivalency!
I passed the English Equivalency GCSE and the whole process was smooth. The staff at a star were very helpful.
Revise for your GCSE equivalency test using the A Star Equivalency support materials and as long as you put the time and effort in you should pass. I am more than happy to recommend this service.
Good service and helpful phone staff.
Excellent service from start to finish. Passed my maths equivalency test on the second attempt but I don’t mind as I know I struggle with maths and I needed to do more work, which I did and thankfully passed on the second go. Thanks again for your support.
I was so worried about my GCSE maths equivalency test as I haven’t done algebra in years and hated it in the first place! The team have been really helpful and I now feel confident about passing this exam.
Great services and So friendly staff.
Really good support and help to pass the equivalency test
Excellent service. I sat GCSE English-equivalency test.
Everyone at Astar was very knowledgeable and easy to speak to.
I would strongly recommend them if you are looking to sit GCSE exams. Their site is full of free resources- past papers and mock exams. Thanks Astar Team!
I was worried about my GCSE Biology equivalency test but passed first time
Happy to recommend
Very helpful and communicative staff!
Exceptional service and support. I called A star who offered my insight and advice as to what I would need to do. I followed this guidance and passed my science equivalency first time.
I bought exam course from A star. The invigilator was quite helping and provided the guidance very well.
Great service for your GCSE equivalency exams. The invigilator gave clear instructions before starting the exam, and the exam platform was generally very easy to use. I got my results within 24 hours!
Everyone who is working for A Star Equivalency has been very helpful and polite. I mainly used the live chat to ask questions and the help was amazing and quick. I did combined science with A* and the exam was 2 hours long. Although a bit pricey compared to what it was before. The fast track feature i believe is too expensive and should really be maximum £30. Other than money being the issue for me. Everything was perfect especially the customer service.
I completed my foundation maths exam with A Star equivalency online. I was so nervous before the exam, however I feel it couldn’t have gone any better! The process from start to finish was smooth, the invigilator made me feel calm and I felt more at ease during the exam than I did before! I would highly recommend this company to do your exam with 🙂
