Are they closed this year and does anyone know why?

I follow the British Curriculum.

I’ve done Physics in AS and IGCSE. I really don’t want to keep it for Y13, like really really don’t want to. I despise Physics and already doing it in class is not fun. My subjects will be Bio, Chem, and Math.

I want to drop it to focus on some more ECs.

But I feel like dropping it might negatively impact my admissions. The website requirements do mention advanced level of physics is needed but do I qualify for that with AS and IGCSE. I’ve talked to some people who’ve gotten in and they say it’s not needed and some people didn’t even have it in IGCSE but I just want some more thoughts. I don’t want to make a choice that could perhaps ruin my life.

Please help.

I’m taking the September SAT and my Math score is always between 780-790 but my RW ranges between 700-720. How to bring it up to around a 750?

I took the June SAT for the first time and am retaking in September.

How to go from a 730 in Math to ideally 790-800?

How to go from a 600 in RW to around 750-760?

I did do a lot of College Board Questions and tracked my mistakes. In all the practice tests my math score was usually always between 720-740 but I want to bring it higher. But for RW I was getting solid 710,720s but got much lower in the actual SAT.

Any tips for both?

Hi everyone,

I live in Qatar and I’m interested in Medicine at Al Faisal and want to apply next year as I’m currently finishing up my A-Levels. But I just have a question for students or graduates from there-

Do we really have to pay a 100,000 SAR deposit after acceptance (which I think applies to international students) and 20,000 SAR just to confirm an undergraduate seat?

What is the university culture like- the students, professors?

Where would an international student stay if they have no dorms?

For the scholarships I know there’s merit based and financial based and how much do they cover? What about the KFF scholarship? How can I receive that scholarship as an international student?

And if Al Faisal is too expensive what other medical schools are good in the country that don’t require you to do some sort of first year beforehand like King Saud?

For reference if needed my grades are:
IGCSE-
Math Bio Chem AAA
Physics A\*

AS & A-Level Predicted-
AS Bio Chem AA
A-Level Bio Chem both A\*

IELTS- 8.0

Thank you so much everyone.

For someone who's given the exam, how many questions is it? The website says 70, but all the practice tests have 60. And is the test very similar to the practice questions?

If I give the exam on the 2nd of July- the only female day available- will my results still be processed for the Fall 2026 Admission?

And what is the score required for this in Medicine?

So I uploaded all the required documents online just shy of a month ago but they are all still pending for review. I only uploaded my health certificate a few days ago because I just got it done a while back.

I'm starting to get worried now.

If it makes a difference, I'm going to submit my transcript on Sunday and is that maybe why my documents haven't been approved?

How Do I obtain the health certificate and from where?

Also, my high school transcript from my school includes my IGCSE grades and predicted AS grades because my actual results come out after QU announces admissions. But I still do have my official IGCSE certificate from Cambridge so when going to QU should I bring both and which one should I upload to the Application portal?

Is this emailed to me or will it be available on the admission website?
