GCSE Equivalency Testing
The GCSE equivalency tests are often taken by prospective trainee teachers and sometimes by people looking to undertake other professional university courses like nursing. The GCSE Equivalency tests in maths, English and Science are required to enter initial teacher training if the applicant doesn’t have a grade C or equivalent in each subject.

We help with revision materials, exam booking, and additional support as and when is required. The video shows how the GCSE maths equivalency test works. The other tests work in a similar way.
Make sure you are aware of the difference between a GCSE equivalent and GCSE equivalency, these are different things.

GCSE Maths Equivalency Test
The GCSE maths equivalency test must be taken if you don’t have a GCSE maths qualification, but you want to get into teaching or certain nursing courses. Many universities now accept the maths equivalency test as an equivalent to a GCSE maths qualification, especially for teacher training courses, but you must choose your equivalency testing provider carefully.
