I tried the different equivalency testing services and didn’t hear back from the other one for over a week. I messaged these on a Saturday and they got back to me the same day. I booked my exam and prepared in my own time and passed with certificate back all within a few weeks. All exams should be set up like this to make it easier for people to access
The chem bit is hardet in my opinion or maybe that I am just not as good at it but took a while for the info to sink in. Got there in the end
Thank you A Star for creating the resources which are so easy to use. As a student you just need time and dedication. I found the examiners so calm and respectful, shout out to Jess! Thank you. The whole experience is there to give you the opportunity to reach your goals required for your career progression. From the booking system to the certificate, I couldn’t have asked for a more simpler way to get things organised. The whole exam process online is straight forward, no worries of travel etc. As a student you just need to try to stay calm, study and then give it a go. I read many reviews that helped me too. Hope this helps someone. I used the other testing service but it wasn’t for me.Thanks A star – you are my A star!
I am very happy and satisfied with the service provided to me by A Star. This was my first online exam and I was bit nervous about it but the invigilator carried out the instructions well and it felt like a piece of cake.
Great materials and support
Did the test and passed it.
Didn’t do my qualifications in the UK and needed this to get accepted into a PGCE. It was relatively easy and everything was good in terms of support and assistance with booking and taking the exam
Excellent service and set up .. will highly recommend to use A star Equivalency
Happy with it all
I did it and can move on. Do the course, do the revision and get the support to pass, it definitely helps
Did the maths test and passed first time. Will be starting my teaching course soon and can forgtet all about the maths now, well the hard stuff anyway, I will be teaching primary
Biology test was a little hard but I did the revision and did it 🙂 🙂 🙂
Did it from home with the online invigilator. It worked really well and pleased to recommend to the testing service for PGCE students
Didn’t pass on my first go and they offered tuition to help but what is the point
They helped me a lot to understand what i needed to do to pass the English equivalency test
Good service
I have taken & passed the English, Maths & Biology equivalency with A star..great revision materials & super support available. Thank you especially to Rosie who was incredibly helpful! I would thoroughly recommend A star to anyone looking to achieve their equivalencies. Thanks again 😊
You have been very nice with me guys on the day of my exam. The link was not working on my Pc and you were trying to help me out.
The paper is just over 2 hours and I would say to use all of your time.
The maths is quite tricky and needs a lot of work.
Really happy with the team that helped me.
Happy with the service I received
Really good website and help given for the exam
Passed on my second go. Just needed to get use to the format of paper I think
The combined gcse test has the most work to do from what I can gather although there isn’t supposed to be more in this than the single Biology, because there are 3 different sciences it is harder to learn as less of the content links in with each other.
Came to my house in a secure envelope and I had to open it on exam day in front of the camera. The exam went smoothly and all was as I had expected
Brilliant service with all the help I needed to pass my maths. I was a bit annoyed that I had to do this in the first place as I have a degree and I did get my GCSE but lost my certificate and the exam board didn’t have a copy as it was a few years ago. Anyway once I accepted I had to do it, I knuckled down and passed within a few weeks
excellent support with the booking through to the test. Much better experience that the other website I tried to use initially, far better here
Brilliant service and friendly people who helped me to get into my teaching course
happy to recommend
All round it was a good experience or at least as good as it could be considering I was doing an exam
Needed it for my primary teaching route. The course is useful and has mock papers that really help with the final test.
great service and really helped to ease my nerves in the run up to my exam
This test was quite tricky to prepare for but I did the work and now on my uni course which is the only thing that matters. This website was helpful and the team I spoke to on email and chat were great.
I had to take GCSE Maths Foundation for university.
I got the home-based exam, I also got the course which was really helpful. When I had questions or doubts, my emails were answered quickly!
All in all, good experience and great customer service!
Thank you!
my examiner explained the tips very well.all of the exam time was great.
Dint pass and found it too hard
Yes happy to recommend to others that need to get a gcse in maths for Uni
Okay service so far
Managed to pass in the end after a lot of revision. Never got on with maths and struggled all the way through school but his time I was determined to do it and did 🙂
Got the paper delivered to my home as wasn’t confident with the whole online thing.
I called, emailed and even got them on live chat on a Saturday. I am sure they must have been a little irritated by all my questions but never showed and was always happy to help
Great service and friendly team
good website and course is great as it gives you everything you need in one pack
I found the cells topic part the hardest to get my head around but thankfully not too much of this came up in my test and managed to scrape through
Excellent service and got the help I needed to get into teaching
The team was very supportive in clarifying my queries, and helped me book a test. Though the package arrived late, due to the royal mail strikes, the online recorded course helped me in understanding the pattern of the exam, and the mode of preparation. The mock tests were a good practise, and the prompt response of the team to evaluate 2 of my mock answer papers in providing critical feedback helped me in identifying the gaps, and working towards a better performance. I passed the exam with a B; of course, i expected a better grade. However, i reached the target.Thank you A Star !!
I found the process easy to work through and the online test format very convenient
Good service and website
Thanks again to the support team who helped me to book and get ready for the test. Made me feel more confident knowing there are many others in a similar situation all of us hating maths together lol
