Hi folks,

I was wondering whether anyone on this forum knows what the minimum student's high school English score should be if s/he wishes to continue to study at a college in Saudi Arabia.

Thanks

Not very good unless they've gone to some of the private language schools or an international primary school. The best Saudi students study abroad so it's no surprise the weak ones are left behind. From my lady friend, I hear that the women are very good and judging from the impact they're making on society, I'd say she's right.

The title of this thread sounds like an oxymoron.

Dear Grendal,

Those in the know would automatically notice the lack of "The Lack of" preceding the present thread's title and supply it (Besides, I couldn't resist writing " . . . the lack of "The Lack of . . .)

Regards,
John

A small minority ( 5 % ???) are okay. Nearly all have problems with writing. They tend to communicate well orally.
