America does have those tests but they are different,, they have SATS thats basically to see how well prepared u are for college or university.. my son passed his SATS, the NAVY wanted him, the AIRFORCE but he opted out of a Military career and went on to get a double masters degree and he teaches the blind now .. I am really really proud of his achievement :cheer: :wub:Quote:

I am not really familiar with the British school system,, I guess this is the dumb question of the day,,,, IF U PASS YOUR TESTS/EXAMS DO U GET TO PICK A COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY OF YOUR CHOICE.. or do u get a school chosen for you ????:searchme:Quote:
