Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a university assessment required for applying to a physics course at the University of Edinburgh. Participants seek clarification on the nature of the assessment and the necessary preparation for it.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses concern about the assessment and seeks tips on preparation.
  • Another participant questions what is meant by "illustrate the exam" and seeks clarification on the requirements.
  • A participant asks whether the original poster (OP) is already a student at the University of Edinburgh or applying for admission, and requests more information about the class and admission requirements.
  • A current student at Edinburgh mentions that there was no entrance exam for them and speculates that the OP might be an international student whose qualifications were not recognized, suggesting that an exam could indicate their math/physics level.
  • Another participant suggests that the OP might be referring to the Global Select Pathway Programme pre-entry assessment and points out that the university has a webpage with example content.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specifics of the assessment, and multiple views regarding the nature of the exam and the OP's situation are presented.

Contextual Notes

There are missing assumptions regarding the OP's qualifications and the specific requirements of the assessment. The discussion also reflects uncertainty about the nature of the assessment and its relevance to different student backgrounds.

I got a university assessment which it is required to applying for physics course, by the way it is university of Edinburgh.

Because I AM really worried about it, I need someone who could illustrate the exam for me and taking tips about it.

Are you already a student at the U of E, looking to get into a particular physics class? Or are you applying for admission to the U of E? Can you provide any pointers to info about this class and the admission requirements?

What is your physics background so far? Where are you in your schooling (what year, what country)?

I am a student at Edinburgh currently and there was no entrance exam for me. I wonder if the OP is an international student and perhaps the university did not recognise the OP's current qualifications, so an option would be to produce an exam that would give some indication of math/physics level.

While in my first year, I did get small diagnostic tests at the beginning to give the university an idea of the level of the year cohort as a whole, but this was not a major assessment.

Are you referring to the Global Select Pathway Programme pre-entry assessment? If so, the university has a webpage about it, which includes example content.
