VII – Read the passage, and choose the correct answer for each question.
If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school,
when you are 17-18. You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people
choose a university that is not in their own town. So, university students usually live
away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study. At the beginning
of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose
up to five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities
7


with information from your school about you and your academic record. If the
universities are interested in your application, they will ask you to attend an interview.
If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take
place several months before students do their A-level examinations. These are the
exams that you do at the end of your time at school. So, when a university makes an
offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do your Alevel exams. If you don’t obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place.
It will be offered to someone else and you must apply again to another university. You
don’t have to accept your place immediately. Some students don’t want to go straight
from school to university. So, after they have taken their A-level, they take a year out
to work or travel.
