Hey guys... I've been to the Cambridge website and according to them, if English is not my first language, I have to take an English qualification like TOEFL or IELTS. What do they mean by English as my first language? Does this mean if I've been speaking English since I was born eventhough my country's national language is not English....I do not need an English qualification to enter Cambridge?

Its best to email them directly with your inquiry, but I guess you will not have to give IELTS

You need some form a proof to display that you truly are fluent in English since you will be applying as an overseas student.

And it's kind of late to be thinking of applying to Oxbridge...Deadlines were in October.

If you've passed GCSE English at a grade C or higher, you'll be exempted from the tests like IELTS , TOEFL etc. It's true for most of the universities in the UK, Cambridge too I guess.
