Welcome to the LSE forum: where prospective and current students can discuss everything from the library stairs to the admissions process and the relevance of GCSEs.
I've been asked to sit the LSE entrance exam;
I am an international applicant to LSE from Montenegro (Eastern Europe) and I have been asked ti sut the LSE entrance exam - I have like no freggin' idea what that is. So my fellow studentroomers:
Is it a good thing or a bad thing???
Does it imply that my application has passed some of LSE selection rounds, or its just non good enough???
Do all international students need to sit this exam???
It means your high school qualifications aren't recognized by the LSE and you need to sit this exam to better compare your skills to other applicants. This helps them more fairly assess your application. You're not 'skrewed' as one person said but study hard so they realize you have the book-smarts to get in. Hope I helped!
You need to ace the exam. A tiny fraction of people usually get through like this. In fact in my year in the econ dept there are none, when quite a few sat the exam. gl

would be interesting to see what proportion of those that did get in, would get lower scores on the test than some people that did it but were rejected.
on the other hand, the content of the exam is probably biased against those asked to take them anyway.

Yep. Eastern european students rarely do any integration until they leave school (loads of geometry and linear algebra though), and only the better schools teach calculus but only differentiation, limits etc.
So if applying from there the only solution is private lessons...

Sorry for bumping, but not sure if I understand your post... what integration? And Montenegro is Southeastern Europe (a.k.a. Balkan), not Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe would be Ukraine, or even sometimes politicly, that is countries of ex-Soviet Union or that was close like Poland and those.

Im using the broad definition of e. europe which basically means all former members of the USSR located in europe.
And integration as in the maths topic.
edit: and btw your argument that sout eastern =/= eastern is rather silly no>
Not really, as Eastern Europe isn't the same as Southeastern Europe, and Montenegro was never part of USSR or neither was close with it . But never mind, that is not a subject of discussion here .

You're joking right? Dont argue if you dont know your country's history. Montenegro was a part of Yugoslavia for ages and only got independence in 2006, so no matter what patriotic stuff you're trying to pull here - those are the facts.

Oh dear... Yugoslavia wasn't close to USSR, neither was part of it. Don't you teach me my countries history.

Are you ridiculous? what on earth does Yugoslavia and USSR got to do with each other?
It's fine to call it the post-communistic part of Europe, because that's true, but the Balkans has NEVER been a part of soviet and don't you try to claim it

Come on even though it was not "officially" part of the USSR we all know those governments were getting their support and funding from the USSR and more precisely Brezhnev. Thats why in the original post i said "basically the former USSR members", of course certain unofficial satelites (some of which on the balkans - like bulgaria, yugoslavia etc) are pretty much the same thing.
And anyway I dont understand why this evolved into a political debate, which i dont give two tosses about. My original point is precisely valid for all "post-communistic" countries as you say, no need to get hung up on all the little detail.

I had no problem with your first post, I had a problem with you insulting a person from montenegro because he didn't know "his own history" because you thought he should "know" that Montenegro is a former USSR country, which it isn't.
