BROADCAST ENTRANCE EXAM

 

Once you have applied to the program of your choice - Radio, Television or Journalism, you will be required to write an entrance exam.  You must “apply” first.

 Once the Admissions Department has processed your exam they will send you a letter with a choice of exam dates.  You will be required to phone and register (604 432-8863) to write the exam on the date of your choice.  The exam starts precisely at 5:30 p.m. (no exceptions) and will be held in the Broadcast Centre at the Burnaby Campus.  See the LARGE MAP of BCIT (PDF FILE)  if you need directions. You will have 2 ½ hours to complete the exam.

The exam is a general knowledge exam, mostly multiple choice.  It consists of:  spelling, grammar, geography, current events and a basic computer portion.  There is also an essay question portion.

 Bring the letter you received from the Admissions Department.  The letter has your student number written on it and you will need that number for the exam.

If you live “outside” the Lower Mainland

If you live outside the Lower Mainland arrangements can be made to have the exam sent to you.  In order to accommodate your request we ask that you find someone to administer the exam for you.  This administrator can be a teacher, counsellor, manager of a company, etc. 

Once you have made arrangements with your administrator you will be required to e-mail or fax
(Janet Wadsworth  - fax: 604-454-0156) the information to Jan Wadsworth, Administrative Assistant, Broadcast Centre. 

She will prepare and mail the exam to your administrator.  The administrator will then call you to come in and write the exam.  They will seal the exam and you will mail it back to Jan in the self addressed envelope contained in the exam.

 The information that Jan Wadsworth requires to enable her to send out the exam is:
