My son took the exam on 30/4.

There are over 100 candidates for 30 places.

Among those 100 candidates, is a large number of students from Espoo International Secondary School (in Pohjois Tapiola) and also students from other International schools in Helsinki and Espoo. Many of them are native English speakers.

I would say that active fluency in English (ie mother-tongue level) is a pre-requisite for entry.

The entrance exam counts 50% towards the final decision, the other 50% comes from your junior high grade point average (ie your school report from 9th grade).

Good luck.

Is it all the candidates had the exam on30/4(except those overseas students)
Since I was taking the exam in HongKong, the school said that I could have the exam during week17-18.
Do you know how many candidates in total to compete how many vacancy?
Thanks!
