1) Entrance to British universities is via a strict selection process based on an interview.In America, students have to take a standardized test, such as the SAT or the ACT if they want to study at a college or university.
2)Universities, teacher-training colleges and polytechnics.
3) The USA: Students are given grades at the end of each course. The highest grade is A; the lowest is F, which means that the student has failed the course and will not get credit for taking it. To check a student’s overall progress, the university calculates a grade point average (GPA). Students who finish their degree with a high GPA may be awarded Latin honours, of which the highest is summa cum laude.
Britain: A first degree, which is usually an honours degree, generally takes three years. Most courses end with exams called finals. Results are given as classes (= grades): a first is the highest class, seconds are often split between upper second and lower second, and below that is a third. Graduates may add the letters BA (Bachelor of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Science) after their name. Some graduates go on to study for a further degree, often a master’s degree or a doctorate.

5)American students who want to study at a college or university have to take a standardized test, e.g. the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the ACT (American College Test). Students from other countries who are not native speakers of English must also take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Each college or university decides on the minimum score it will accept, though test scores are never the only factor taken into account.
6)Students in Britain formerly had their tuition fees paid by the state and received a government grant to help pay their living expenses. Now, they receive only a loan towards their expenses, and from 1999 most will also have to pay £1 000 a year towards tuition fees.
7)Grade Point Average (GPA) is a measure of how well you are doing in your academic studies.
8) School counselors help students in the areas of academic achievement, personal and social development, career development.

12)To my mind, the oral exam is better than written one,because the teacher can help you, to put some idea into the student's mind.
13)Many of the students prefer written examinations to oral ones,because they can crib. Before the exam my group is in panic. We always prepare for our exams, but we are very nervous and afraid of the exam.
14) I'd like to study in Great Britain in order to improve my English,to know about their system of education from within.
15) It will be great to choose different subjects,in which you are interested.
