此成績是否卓越呢?

It depends on the number of candidates. If the number of candidate, say, is 120, then it is a very good result. But if the number of candidates sitting the DSE is great, then ......

If we can give an accurate comment on the performance, we need to know the number of "5 or above" per candidate.

I have the following to share:

(1) In addition to IELTS, the kids should consider taking TOFEL as well. TOFEL is rocognised nearly by all colleges in the World, save Oxford and Cambridge. On average, 100 out of 120 is a very good result. For professional degrees offered by top British universities, they require about 109/120. There is no harm to take TOFEL because if it is up to you to use its result or not.

(2) You need to write only one Personal Statement when you apply for UK colleges (including Oxbridge) through UCAS although you are requred to write a top-up statement required by Oxbridge. My experience is that you should not rely on an agent or consultant to write the personal statement for you. They have a number of clients, Their data bank has limited precedents with the result that they have to repeat the contents or make minor amendments for different clients. The colleges would know whether the personal statement is written by the applicant or not. So don't engage any agent or consultant to write the personal statement for you.

(3) It is not difficult to write a personal statement. Usually, you need to write why you are interested in the subject you choose (say e.g. law) and what have you done to understand the subject, what activities you took to increase your understanding or prepare for studying of the subjects you chose and what did you learn from such activities. You need not write an essay with beautiful sentences or words. A simple and direct statement would help you the most.
