CIE Private Candidate Process for 2012 onwards

Posted on by

An email from Erena and Judith

be sure to read the link to the

ACSNZ Proposal from 2012 for the Private Candidate Process

Hi Barbara

ACSNZ Proposal from 2012 is a file supplied by the Association of Cambridge Schools NZ (ACSNZ) which outlines the process for all Private Candidates sitting Cambridge Exams in 2012 and beyond. Feel free to put it on your website and anywhere else you think it needs to go.

It covers:

  • Background of the system as it has been in the past and the need for change
  • The areas where CIE exams can be sat
  • Subjects available to PCs with all the relevant paper codes for all three levels i.e. IGCSE, AS and A levels
  • The physical process involved in applying for, paying for and sitting exams
  • Rules of conduct

This information can now be circulated around to anyone you know who is planning on studying for Cambridge Exams over the next few years.

Thanks to Janine from the ACSNZ for all her work on this document and for listening to feedback from Home Educators. We are confident that this is a good standardised solution which covers a broad range of subjects and should ensure total, permanent and nationwide access to Cambridge Exams for home eduators.

Best regards,

Erena & Judith

Entrusted With Arrows: Entrepreneurial Homeschool Fathers

Posted on by
Entrusted With Arrows highlights the efforts of a few Christian men who take extreme measures to directly train up their children in the way they should go. They do this by not only educating them at home, but by developing businesses which allow them to be with their children on a regular basis, living side by side with them, following the commands of Deuteronomy 6.

 

Auckland University CIE entrance requirements

Posted on by

Here is the link to the Auckland University CIE entrance requirements –

http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ae-cambridge-international-examinations

The entry requirements for the other NZ Universities i.e. Waikato, Massey, Victoria, Canterbury and Otago are pretty much the same.

The standard requirements are as follows:

* required number of points on the CIE schedule (usually 120+)
* “E” level in AS English or above PLUS
* “D” level in IGCSE Maths

Some courses also have additional requirements e.g. art portfolio, music audition

Some Universities require an two to three additional “D” grades at AS level or above

As Janine has already recommended, it would pay to check with the tertiary institution to make sure you are sufficiently covering off the entry requirements if you are at all unsure.
