    British citizen studying in college abroad
    Hello,

    I'm a British citizen living in Turkey. College is 4 years here. September, i will be in my third year. I want to go to a university in London. My question is this. Should i enter the SAT exam, or the Turkish exam for universities (YGS). They say that i can enter YGS and apply for a Turkish university and then with my grades i can apply for abroad. I have no idea. Should i directly go SAT or YGS? Please help me. I have really got no idea...

    British universities will not really use the SAT exam to consider students, it's for US admissions. From US candidates they want AP grades and then from all other candidates they will look at the national qualification from your country, so in your case Turkey. In some cases, as with Turkey, the YGS isn't considered enough to enter for direct study at a British university so you would need to either complete a year at a Turkish university, study some A levels or the IB or do a foundation year.
