Charles University, Prague

Hi thanks I don't know where to look do you have any websites? Plus I am looking at rent too

hi i got into charles university for dentistry and i was wondering if anyone recommends any websites for accommodation or anything that would help in general. Thanks

It's not that high, only 28 people (out of 150) got kicked out after winter semester, but then again more might be kicked out at the end of summer. It depends with the teacher you have. Some teachers are hardcore and if you fail the weekly tests three times, then you get put in the winter credit test, a very hard test. You fail, then you get kicked out. You have three attempts at the credit test. My anatomy teacher sets hard tests, but she allows us to retake as many times as we want. If you don't correct all of the tests by the end of winter semester, then she will put you in the credit test.

Basically, work hard and failure will never come your way

Hi i've been offered a place where are you looking to stay as I am not entirely sure which place is the best

Good luck! I too gave my entrance exam in Dubai for Charles Uni faculty in Hradec Kralove and I got accepted so I'll be joining that faculty this Sept.

Hey, I'm writing the entrance exam for Hradec Kralove on the 18th of Feb in Dubai, I was wondering if there's any tips you can possibly share, I would really appreciate it. How is your experience there so far? I really would like to know, I'm contemplating on which faculty to go to at the moment so any help would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Good luck, i might be taking the Hradec Kralove, Charles 1st Fac, Masaryk and Palacky exams in London in April. Keeping my options open!

Hey, good luck on your test. Biology bit was fairly simple and straigthtf orward your basic A-level stuff. Chemistry you need to know the formulae and name of the compounds well. I think they've got sample papers on the website for the entrance so go through those. And yes you're right. The attrition rate is quite high In HK. I can't speak for other faculties but you really need to be on top of your things here. They say they don't care how many ever students make it through so if the entire batch does that's ok and if only one person does that's fine with them too. Currently in 3rd year dentistry there's only 2 people so you can imagine. Teaching wise its good but it is also very strict and precise with the knowledge you should have so some professors expect you to know word to word from their lecture lol. Not your typical university but then again its a med school innit. Hope this helps with making your decision. All the best.

Hey, so you at Hradec? Are you from the UK?

Yes at Hradec, not from the UK.

How did you prepare for the exams?

I studied from my A-level books. Familiarise yourself with the pattern of questions that come up and that you can find on the uni website where they give past years questions. I might have looked through some SAT books too but I'm not sure if that really helped me. If you do really good in two sections then the third doesn't matter. Like Physics was bad for me but my chem and bio sections gave me 80%.

Hey, thank you so much for your lengthy reply! I am quite confident for the entrance exam if that's the case, however the fact that 1% of the whole batch made it is quite scary. I really wish you all the best. Do you have any idea about general medicine by any chance? Is it the same as Dentistry in terms of attrition rate? Thank you so much for your time...

The grade requirements last year were grade C's or above in Biology and Chemistry and you had to have an AS in Maths or Physics. As I fell short and got a grade D in Chemistry so I took the Foundation year in the UK which I really did need. I have my entrance exam this week
