This is what our students who have taken part in the Competition say:

	The Competition is a great chance to test your abilities, and demonstrate the level of your knowledge. For me, the competitions have always been very important as they gave me an incentive to achieve new goals and solve important problems. After all, one thing is to compete with your classmates and see that you are the most intelligent and the best in your class at school, and quite another thing is to demonstrate your capabilities and compete with the students who are the smartest and the best in their classes at school.  When getting prepared for taking part in the competitions, we significantly expand our horizons, and improve our knowledge of the subjects. The knowledge that I have acquired during the period of preparation for the competition helped me make my biggest dream come true. I became enrolled to the Financial University. Moreover, each time I take part in a competition, I become bolder, more confident in what I know.
	I have been interested in taking part in the Competition as the winners have a chance to become enrolled to the Financial University and do not have to take entrance examinations. When I learnt about the Competition, I thought the Financial University could become my prospective place of study. The Competition helped me assess my knowledge and became an incentive for me to learn more about the University.
	The Competition included nonstandard assignments that were a very interesting thing to do. When I was doing them, I learnt a lot about something new. The Competition helped me identify the areas for improvement and helped me understand which topics deserved my attention during the prospective period of study. I think enough time was given to us so that we could do the assignments and check everything before leaving. I am very glad that the University gives the applicants an opportunity to assess their knowledge and put their best foot forward.
	Foreign nationals who apply to become enrolled to the Financial University have to win in the Financial University Russian Language and Mathematics online competition. It was a great opportunity for the applicants to assess their knowledge and identify the areas for improvement. This Competition helped me become a Financial University student. I wish you success in getting a student place.
